ASTM’s steel standards are instrumental in classifying, evaluating, and
specifying the material, chemical, mechanical, and metallurgical properties of
the different types of steels, which are primarily used in the production of
mechanical components, industrial parts, and construction elements, as well as
other accessories related to them. The steels can be of the carbon, structural,
stainless, ferritic, austenitic, and alloy types.These steel standards are helpful in guiding metallurgical laboratories
and refineries, product manufacturers, and other end-users of steel and its
variants in their proper processing and application procedures to ensure
quality towards safe use.
A pipe is a tubular section or hollow cylinder, usually but not
necessarily of circular cross-section, used mainly to convey substances which
can flow — liquids and gases (fluids), slurries, powders, masses of small
solids. It can also be used for structural applications; hollow pipe is far
stiffer per unit weight than solid members.
