CURRENT WEIGHT
The original supplier label states 10 lbs gross.
The current measured weight shown in the photographs is approximately9 lb 3.6 oz gross for the spool and wire together. This measurement does not includethe original cardboard shipping/storage box.
No representation is made regarding the original or current net wire-only weight because the tareweight of the spool is unknown.
MATERIAL IDENTIFICATION
The original Atek Metals Center label identifies the alloy as “HAST B,” and theoriginal packaging is handwritten “Nickel-Molybdenum Wire.”
HASTELLOY® B is a historical nickel-molybdenum alloy designation associated with the HASTELLOY Bfamily of corrosion-resistant specialty alloys. However, no surviving Haynes heat record orMaterial Test Report has been located for this specific spool.
Haynes International was contacted regarding heat 2620-9-0319. After furtherinvestigation, Haynes advised that they were unable to locate the requested historical documentsin their system.
The material is therefore being sold according to the original supplier identificationand surviving packaging shown in the photographs, rather than as independently verifiedor currently certified HASTELLOY B material.
Exact modern UNS designation, chemical composition, temper, mechanical properties, manufacturingsource, and current certification status are unverified.

The original Atek label is marked “ASME SB 335.” This wording is reproduced in thislisting solely as it appears on the original vintage supplier label.
No representation is made that this .032\" wire currently complies with ASME/ASTM B335 or anycurrent code requirement. No MTR, CMTR, certificate of analysis, or current code certification isincluded with this sale.
