AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR TESTING AND MATERIALS

I don't care if they want to cheat me or lie to me, I really don't care. I know if someone made a promise they have to keep that promise, but I really don't care right now. What I want to do know is just keep blogging with this blog which is Piping & Fabrication and give some information to the other who want to know about Piping System well rather than think about something unsure.

The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) is a scientific and technical organization that develops and publishes voluntary standards on the characteristics and performance of materials, products, systems, and services. The standards published by the ASTM include test procedures for determining or verifying characteristics, such as chemical composition, and measuring performance, such as tensile strength and bending properties. The standards cover refined materials, such as steel, and basic products, such as machinery and fabricated equipment. The standards are developed by committees drawn from a broad spectrum of professional, industrial, and commercial interests. Many of the standards are made mandatory by reference in applicable piping codes.

The ASTM standards are published in a set of 67 volumes. Each volume is published annually to incorporate new standards and revisions to existing standards and to delete obsolete standards. Listed here are the 67 volumes, divided among 16 sections, published by the ASTM.
