ASTM Material Classification for Steel Pipe Fittings

The ASTM standard specifies the specific manufacturing process and precise chemical composition requirements for steel pipes, fittings and flanges, including the content percentage of carbon, manganese, nickel and other chemical elements.  Materials are distinguished by steel grades.

ASTM standards are usually denoted by standard code + alphabetic sort code + standard serial number + year of formulation + standard English name.  

1. The standard serial number is the metric unit standard if it is followed by the letter M, and the English unit standard if it is not accompanied by the letter M.

2. If there are brackets after the year of formulation, the age in brackets indicates the date of the re-examination of the standard.

3. If there is a, b, C... after the year of formulation, it  represents the revision of the standard.

4. If there is ￡1, ￡2, ￡3... after the year of formulation, it represents the standard only be changed in the article structure but without any change in practical contents.

5. The annotation of alphabetic sort code:

    A- Ferrous metals

    B- Nonferrous metals

    C -- Cement, ceramics, concrete and masonry materials

    D- Other materials (petroleum products, fuels, low strength plastics, etc.)

    E -- Miscellaneous (chemical analysis of metals, fire resistance tests, non-destructive tests, statistical methods, etc.)

    F- - Special purpose materials (electronic materials, shockproof materials, medical and surgical materials, etc.)

    G- Corrosion, deterioration and degradation of materials
