Group of ASTM standards for steel pipes, tubes and fittings

Abstract: 
This group of ASTM standard specifications covers various types of steel pipes, tubes and fittings for high-
temperature service, ordinary use and special applications such as fire protection use. 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 structural tubing.

This article contains ASTM standards for various types of steel pipes which specify requirements
for high-temperature service, ordinary use and special applications such as fire protection use.

Specifications for steel tubes list standard requirements for:

 Boiler and superheater tubes

 General service tubes
 Still tubes in refinery service
 Heat exchanger and condenser tubes
 Mechanical tubing and
 Structural tubing.

New standards, which cover the general requirements for alloy and stainless steel pipes, and
editorial form and style for writing product specifications are also included.
