Article ASTM Standard List - Structural and Constructional Steels Standards: Part Two 10 min read • April, 2011 • Normes et classification › Normes internationales des matériaux • Dernière révision technique : 2026 Abstract This comprehensive guide presents ASTM standards applicable to structural and constructional steels. ASTM designations follow a consistent system where ferrous materials are identified with an "A" prefix followed by a sequential number. Introduction to ASTM Steel Standards ASTM specifications represent a consensus among producers, specifiers, fabricators, and users of steel mill products. The ASTM designation system for metals consists of a letter (A for ferrous materials) followed by an arbitrary sequentially assigned number. These designations often apply to specific products, for example, A548 is applicable to cold-heading quality carbon steel wire for tapping or sheet metal screws. This article contains a list of standards that covers among other things: Specific steel standards for applications in the construction industry Centrifugally cast steel pipes for use at elevated temperatures Numerous standards covering wires, chains and anti-friction bearings For more information on the ASTM designation system see our related article:Introduction to the ASTM Standard Designation. Structural and Constructional Steel Standards Classification The standards in this catalog are organized systematically to help professionals locate specifications relevant to their needs. Many standards specify properties for specialized applications such as high-temperature service, pressure vessels, and structural components. Historical Development of Steel Standards Many standards in this list have evolved over time, with some being replaced by newer specifications or withdrawn entirely. This progression reflects the ongoing refinement of material requirements and testing methodologies in the steel industry.
