ASTM A289/A289M-97(2013)

1.1This specification covers nonmagnetic alloy steel retaining ring forgings for generators.

1.2The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in non-conformance with the standard.

1.3Unless the order specifies the applicable “M” specification designation, the material shall be furnished to the inch-pound units.
