ASTM International – American Society for Testing and Materials – is a scientific and technical organization that develops and publishes voluntary standards on the characteristics of material, products, systems and services.
The ASTM standards covers various types of steel pipes, tubes and fittings for high-temperature service, ordinary use and special applications such as fire protection use. The ASTM International specifications for steel tubes list standard requirements for boiler and superheater tubes, general service tubes, steel tubes in refinery service, heat exchanger and condenser tubes, mechanical and…
The ASTM International Volume 01.01, January 2002 Steel – Piping, Tubing, Fittings – features standards for various types of steel pipes specifying requirements for high-temperature services, ordinary use, and special applications such as fire protection systems.
Steels can be classified by a variety of different systems depending on: The composition, such as carbon, low-alloy or stainless steel. The manufacturing methods, such as open hearth, basic oxygen process, or electric furnace methods. The finishing method, such as hot rolling or cold rolling The product form, such as bar plate, sheet, strip, tubing or structural shape The…
