ASTM A193/A193M

ASTM A193/A193M is a specification from the ASTM International that primarily govern industrial piping applications. In the assembly of an industrial plant, many complex components are bolted together of which include parts such as valves, piping, and pressure vessels. ASTM A193 defines the methodology to procure and certify externally threaded fasteners according to specific chemical and mechanical criteria. It is standards such as this that allow industrial process applications to be safely engineered so they do not exceed the tensile strength of the fasteners that hold them together.[1]

Material grades that are governed under ASTM A193 include:

Ferritic steels
