What is ASME SA789 UNS S39274 Super Duplex Stainless Steel Tube

ASME SA-789 / SA-789M lists UNS S39274 as a tungsten- and copper-bearing super duplex: chromium 24.0–26.0%, nickel 6.0–8.0%, molybdenum 2.5–3.5%, nitrogen 0.24–0.32%, copper 0.20–0.80%, tungsten 1.50–2.50%, carbon ≤0.030%. High W with moderate Mo distinguishes it from 2507 and from Zeron-type S32760.

SHH STEEL can produce and supply ASME SA789 UNS S39274 super duplex stainless steel tube in seamless and welded (no filler metal) forms, with EN 10204 3.1 MTCs reporting Cu and W, the 116/80 ksi tensile pair with 15% elongation, and Table 2 heat treatment at 1920–2060 °F. Dual marking is available when requested.

Compare SA789 S32760 for W+Cu with PREN ≥40 footnote; SA789 S32808 for higher W / lower Mo; SA789 S32750 for Mo-based 2507; SA789 S39277 for another W+Cu variant. Plate: A240 / SA240. Hub: SA789/SA789M.

Chemical Composition of SA789 S39274

Table 1 of ASME SA-789 fixes the heat analysis for S39274. Product analysis applies when Section 8 or the purchase order invokes it through A1016/A1016M, using A480/A480M tolerances. SHH STEEL reports actual ladle values on the EN 10204 3.1 MTC for every heat.

ElementHeat analysis (ASME SA-789 Table 1)
Carbon (C)0.030 max
Manganese (Mn)1.00 max
Phosphorus (P)0.030 max
Sulfur (S)0.020 max
Silicon (Si)0.80 max
Nickel (Ni)6.0–8.0
Chromium (Cr)24.0–26.0
Molybdenum (Mo)2.5–3.5
Nitrogen (N)0.24–0.32
Copper (Cu)0.20–0.80
Tungsten (W)1.50–2.50

Standard PREN with Cr ≈25, Mo ≈3.0, N ≈0.28 gives PREN ≈ 39.4. Tungsten 1.50–2.50% may be credited in mill PREN practices but is not in the SA-789 PREN footnotes (this grade has no PREN footnote). Report W on the MTC as required.

Mechanical Properties of SA789 S39274

Table 4 sets tensile and hardness requirements for S39274 after final heat treatment. Lot sampling follows Section 9. Mechanical properties do not apply below 1/8 in. [3.2 mm] OD or 0.015 in. [0.4 mm] wall.

Seamless and Welded Tube

ASME SA-789 allows S39274 as seamless tube or as welded tube made with no filler metal. After welding, the finished tube is heat-treated under Table 2, and marking must state the manufacture route with average or minimum wall so receiving can match each length to the purchase order and MTC.

Seamless lots take flaring to at least 10% ID expansion on one end of one tube per lot. Welded lots take flange testing plus reverse flattening on each 1500 ft [450 m] of finished tubing. Tension and hardness apply to both routes. SHH STEEL produces both SA789 S39274 routes and records them on stencil and EN 10204 3.1 MTC.

Dimensions and Tolerances

Order ASME SA789 S39274 by OD × wall (average unless minimum is specified) and length in tube / BWG language, not B36.19 pipe schedules first. Table 5 sets OD-group tolerances; clause 12.2 covers thin-wall ovality.

OD group (Table 5 summary)OD toleranceAvg / Min wall
Up to ½ in. excl.±0.005 in. [0.13 mm]Avg ±15%; Min +30%/−0%
½ to 1½ in. excl.±0.005 in. [0.13 mm]Avg ±10%; Min +20%/−0%
1½ to 3½ in. excl.±0.010 in. [0.25 mm]Avg ±10%; Min +20%/−0%
3½ to 5½ in. excl.±0.015 in. [0.38 mm]Avg ±10%; Min +20%/−0%
5½ to 8 in. incl.±0.030 in. [0.76 mm]Avg ±10%; Min +20%/−0%

Source: ASME BPVC.II.A-2023 SA-789 Table 5. SHH STEEL quotes average-versus-minimum wall explicitly on every S39274 enquiry. Write average or minimum wall on every line item so Table 5 percentage bands are unambiguous at receiving.

Equivalent Grades

ASME SA-789 UNS S39274 is the governing tubing designation for this article. Approximate wrought names are chemistry-family hints, not automatic Code substitutes on an SA-789 mill test certificate. Confirm the product standard and tensile row before accepting a commercial nickname on the certificate.

Heat Treatment and Delivery Condition

Table 2 requires S39274 solution treatment at 1920–2060 °F [1025–1125 °C] followed by rapid cooling in air or water. The 1920–2060 °F [1025–1125 °C] band with rapid air or water cooling applies.

Seamless tubes may be quenched after hot forming when temperature is not below the minimum solution-treatment temperature. Skipping or under-cooling risks intermetallics and undermines corrosion performance. SHH STEEL delivers SA789 S39274 only heat-treated per Table 2, with the record on the MTC.

Corrosion Resistance

Estimated PREN near 39.4 plus high tungsten places S39274 in super-duplex chloride service when this specific W+Cu chemistry is written. Confirm versus SA789 S32760 when a PREN ≥40 footnote is mandatory on the datasheet.

High W/Mo need rapid cooling. Observe SA-789 embrittlement warnings. Materials review should precede any attempt to stretch this grade outside its PREN and temperature envelope.

Applications of SA789 S39274 Tube

S39274 tube is specified for W+Cu super duplex exchangers and process lines naming this UNS. Match fluid chemistry and temperature to the PREN estimate and Table 4 floors before freezing the bill of materials.

Application areaTypical useSelection note
Aggressive chloride HXW+Cu super duplexConfirm W 1.5–2.5%
Offshore process tubingHigh-strength duplexCompare S32760 footnote
Code pressure-boundary tubeSA-789 S39274 namedKeep ASME designation
Specialty chemical serviceW-bearing super duplexMatch exact UNS

If PREN ≥40 footnote is required with Cu+W, prefer SA789 S32760. If Mo-only 2507 is written, use SA789 S32750. Match fluid chemistry and temperature to the PREN estimate and Table 4 floors before freezing the bill of materials.

Weldability

Welding W-bearing super duplex needs qualified procedures and prompt HAZ cooling. Mill welded SA-789 product stays autogenous. SHH STEEL can discuss filler families; the fabricator owns WPS/PQR. Procedure qualification on the actual UNS avoids ferrite and sigma surprises in the heat-affected zone.

Do not assume S32750 PQRs transfer without requalification on S39274 heats. Procedure qualification on the actual UNS avoids ferrite and sigma surprises in the heat-affected zone.

Surface Finishes

Standard delivery for SA789 S39274 is heat-treated and descaled/pickled per Section 13, free of excessive mill scale. Bright anneal or Ra-controlled finishes are agreement items that must appear on the order.

SHH STEEL quotes special finishes against the written enquiry rather than assuming them with the grade stamp for S39274. Call any Ra or bright requirement out on the enquiry so mill routing can include it before the heat is reserved.

Inspection and Testing

Testing covers Table 1 chemistry, Table 4 tension and hardness, flare or flange tests by route, reverse flattening for welded tube, and hydro or NDE on each length using duplex hydrostatic factor 64000 (441.2). Manufacturer chooses hydro versus NDE unless the PO locks the method.

Marking shows seamless or welded and wall basis. SHH STEEL 3.1 MTCs tie heat, chemistry, mechanicals, heat treatment, and test method to each length for receiving clearance. Receiving teams should verify hydro-versus-NDE against the purchase order before releasing tube to fabrication.

Packaging and Shipping

S39274 tube ships from SHH STEEL in tagged bundles with end protection matched to length. Tags repeat ASME SA789, grade, route, OD × wall, heat number, and PO reference for export or domestic delivery.

Wrapped bundles or wooden cases are available for bright or small-bore material. Incoterms and MTC flow follow the order acknowledgment. Keep bundle tags legible after ocean transit so port and site receiving can proceed without remarking every length.

FAQ

What tensile strength does SA789 S39274 require?
Table 4 requires 116 ksi [800 MPa] minimum tensile, 80 ksi [550 MPa] minimum yield, 15% minimum elongation, and hardness max 310 HBW / 32 HRC / 310 HV after heat treatment. Confirm the 15% elongation floor on the MTC.
Why do both copper and tungsten appear on S39274?
Table 1 requires Cu 0.20–0.80% and W 1.50–2.50% as intentional ranges for this UNS. Both must appear on the heat analysis. They are not optional residuals and should not be omitted from an S39274 certificate.
How does S39274 compare with S32760?
Both are W+Cu super duplex grades. SA789 S32760 has a PREN ≥40 footnote, Mo 3.0–4.0%, W 0.50–1.00%, and 25% elongation; S39274 has no PREN footnote, Mo 2.5–3.5%, W 1.50–2.50%, and 15% elongation. Match the UNS and footnotes.
Is ASME SA-789 the same as ASTM A789?
No. SA-789 / SA-789M is the ASME Section II Part A Code Book adoption of duplex tubing; A789 / A789M is the ASTM product specification. The 2023 BPVC text matches A789/A789M-18 on the grade tables, but the standards remain independent. Dual-mark only when the purchase order asks for both names on stencil and MTC.
Does this grade include seamless and welded tube?
Yes. SA-789 covers both manufacture routes for S39274, and welded tube is made with no filler metal in the longitudinal seam. Flaring applies to seamless lots; flange testing and reverse flattening apply to welded lots. SHH STEEL produces both routes and marks them on tube and certificate.
Can SHH STEEL produce SA789 S39274?
Yes. SHH STEEL can produce and supply ASME SA789 UNS S39274 seamless and welded tube against the ordered edition, with Table 2 heat treatment, Section 9 testing, and EN 10204 3.1 documentation. Production capability is part of the offer, not trader-only brokering.
What heat treatment applies under SA789?
Table 2 requires S39274 solution treatment at 1920–2060 °F [1025–1125 °C] followed by rapid cooling in air or water. Seamless tubes may be quenched after hot forming when temperature stays at or above the minimum solution-treatment temperature. Proper quench practice limits intermetallics and supports corrosion performance for this grade.
What PREN estimate follows from Table 1 chemistry?
Unless a grade-specific footnote applies, SA-789 does not publish a PREN minimum for S39274. Using PREN = %Cr + 3.3×%Mo + 16×%N on mid-range Table 1 aims gives roughly PREN ≈ 39.4. That is an engineering estimate from stated chemistry, not a Code acceptance number; recalculate on actual ladle values when margin is tight.
What sizes can SHH STEEL supply?
Common heat-exchanger OD × wall bands around 12.7–50.8 mm with usual BWG or metric walls are regularly quoted, and larger Table 5 OD groups are available by agreement. Average or minimum wall, cut lengths, and U-bends are enquiry items. Send OD, wall, length, quantity, and seamless or welded preference without relying on published fictitious stock tonnages.
What tests does each tube length receive?
Each finished length receives hydrostatic or nondestructive electric testing, at the manufacturer’s option unless the purchase order fixes the method. Lot-basis tension, hardness, and flaring or flange tests also apply, and welded tube takes reverse flattening on a length basis. Name hydro-versus-NDE preference on the PO when one method must be locked in.
Does elevated-temperature service need extra caution?
Yes. SA-789 notes embrittlement risk after prolonged elevated-temperature exposure, and duplex metallurgy flags 475 °C ferrite embrittlement plus sigma-phase risk from slow cooling after hot work or welding. Keep continuous-service temperature and fabrication heat practice inside the limits your materials engineer and Code design allow for S39274.
Where do I send an enquiry for this grade?
Send size, quantity, seamless or welded preference, wall basis, and document needs through your SHH STEEL sales channel for a formal quotation.
