BSL1 Requirements |
Manufacturing processes shall be performed so as to avoid the introduction of stress risers that can occur from sharp angles and tool marks. Threads may be cut or rolled. Unified National Threads shall be "R" (UNR controlled radius root) series. Furnace calibration shall be in accordance with API 6A, Annex M, SAE AMS 2750 or SAE AMS-H-6875. For induction or direct resistance heat treatment, calibration shall be in accordance with the manufacture’s written procedure. |
BSL2 Requirements | ASTM A320 Grade L43 and ASTM A540, Grade B23 shall be double tempered. When threads are rolled, parts shall subsequently be stress relieved at a temperature within 50oF (28oC) of, but not exceeding the final tempering temperature. |
BSL3 Requirements | Austenitizing temperatures shall not exceed 1700F (925C). Tempering temperatures for ASTM A193, Grade B7, ASTM A320, Grade L7, and Grade L43, and ASTM A540 Grade B23 shall not exceed 1300oF (700oC). |
