ASTM Standard List - Structural and Constructional Steels Standards: Part Three

Abstract:

ASTM specifications represent a consensus among producers, specifiers, fabricators, and users of steel mill products. ASTM’s 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
  • Specialist carbon steel pressure vessel plates
  • Steels used in rail and rapid transport industries

For more information on the ASTM designation system see our related article:
Introduction to the ASTM Standard Designation.
