ASTM A268 Standard Specification for Seamless and Welded Ferritic and Martensitic Stainless Steel Tubes for General Service

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of ASTM A268 testing. This specification covers a range of nominal wall thickness, stainless steel pipe grades for general corrosion resistant and high temperature service. Many of these grades are commonly known as "straight chromium" types and are characterized by being ferromagnetic.

Two of these grades, TP410 and UNS S 41500, are suitable for heat treatment hardening, and high chromium, ferritic alloys are susceptible to notch brittleness on slow cooling to normal temperatures. These properties must be recognized in the use of these materials. Grade TP439 is primarily used for hot water tank service and does not require post weld heat treatment to prevent attack of the heat affected zone.

An optional additional requirement is provided and will be specified as such in the order when requested.

Values ​​stated in inch-pound units or SI units should also be considered standard. In the text, SI units are shown in parentheses.

This standard does not purport to address all, if any, safety concerns associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and to determine the applicability of regulatory restrictions prior to use.
