ASTM standards in sections and volumes

Sponsored Links

ASTM International is composed of more than 132 technical standards writing committees. Together, they have published more than 9,100 standard specifications, tests, practices, guides, and definitions for materials, products, systems, and services.

ASTM International has published standards dealing with metals, flammability, chemical products, lubricants, fossil fuels, textiles, paint, plastics, rubber, pipe, forensic sciences, electronics, energy, medical devices and countless other topics.

Sections and Volumes

The ASTM Standards are organized in the Sections and Volumes

  • Section 1 - Iron and Steel Products
  • Section 2 - Nonferrous Metal Products
  • Section 3 - Metals Test Methods and Analytical Procedures
  • Section 4 - Construction
  • Section 5 - Petroleum Products, Lubricants, and Fossil Fuels
  • Section 6 - Paints, Related Coatings, and Aromatics
  • Section 7 - Textiles
  • Section 8 - Plastics
  • Section 9 - Rubber
  • Section 10 - Electrical Insulation and Electronics
  • Section 11 - Water and Environmental Technology
  • Section 12 - Nuclear, Solar, and Geothermal Energy
  • Section 13 - Medical Devices and Services
  • Section 14 - General Methods and Instrumentation
  • Section 15 - General Products, Chemical Specialties, and End Use Products

where each Section contains of several volumes.

Section 1 - Iron and Steel Products

This volume features standards for various types of steel pipe which specify requirements for high-temperature service, ordinary use, and special applications such as fire protection use. Specifications for steel tubes list standard requirements for boiler and super heater tubes, general service tubes, still tubes in refinery service, heat exchanger and condenser tubes, mechanical tubing, and structural tubing. Steel casting specifications call out the standard properties for valves, flanges, fittings, and other pressure containing parts for high-temperature and low-temperature service. Also in this volume, are specifications that cover black, plain end steel pipe for use in the conveyance of fluids under pressure.

Section 2 - Nonferrous Metal Products

Section 3 - Metals Test Methods and Analytical Procedures

Section 4 - Construction

Section 5 - Petroleum Products, Lubricants, and Fossil Fuels

This volume features gaseous fuels, and coal and coke. Under Gaseous Fuels, tables and practices fix standard procedures for sampling and calculating thermo physical properties. In addition, several tests define methods for analyzing the properties of gaseous fuels. And under Coal and Coke, tests and practices establish procedures for evaluating properties of coal and coke such as dustiness, moisture content, plastic properties, and sulphur content.

Section 6 - Paints, Related Coatings, and Aromatics

Section 7 - Textiles

Section 8 - Plastics

Section 9 - Rubber

Section 10 - Electrical Insulation and Electronics

Section 11 - Water and Environmental Technology

Section 12 - Nuclear, Solar, and Geothermal Energy

Section 13 - Medical Devices and Services

Section 14 - General Methods and Instrumentation

Section 15 - General Products, Chemical Specialties, and End Use Products
