In the context of the globalization of the industrial sector, the unification of technical requirements is becoming a critical factor in ensuring product quality and safety. EV Group China provides in-depth expert analysis of international standards that define modern requirements for rolled metal products and industrial equipment.<\/p>\n
International standardization is based on the activities of specialized scientific and technical associations that issue the following types of documentation:<\/p>\n
It is important to note that international standards are advisory in nature; however, their implementation increases product competitiveness in foreign markets. The United States holds a leading position in the development of these standards, relying on the expertise of ASTM and ASME.<\/p>\n
ASTM International (American Society for Testing and Materials)<\/strong> is an expert non-profit organization founded in 1898. Currently, ASTM unites more than 30,000 specialists from over 100 countries, ensuring the development of consensus standards for materials, systems, and services.<\/p>\n The ASTM database includes over 12,000 standards, which are reviewed every 5 years to align with the current level of technology. ASTM standards cover metallurgy, energy, petrochemicals, and construction, defining chemical composition, physical-mechanical properties, and material testing methods.<\/p>\n Classification of ASTM Committees:<\/strong><\/p>\n An example is the ASTM A193\/A193M standard, which regulates requirements for fasteners used in high-pressure and high-temperature applications. The document strictly defines requirements for the heat treatment of ferritic steels and strength parameters of alloys.<\/p>\n ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers)<\/strong> is a world-leading organization that has been setting the direction for development in mechanical engineering since 1880. More than 130,000 engineers and designers use ASME standards to ensure the safety and efficiency of equipment.<\/p>\n The organization’s key product is the ASME BPVC (Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code), which is updated every two years. The scope of ASME standards covers:<\/p>\n The ASME B16.5 standard is a benchmark document establishing pressure and temperature ratings for flange connections, as well as requirements for component geometry and testing.<\/p>\n Although ASTM and ASME are often mentioned together, they have different areas of competence. ASTM focuses on materials science: chemical composition, testing methods, and steel properties. ASME focuses on the final product and its performance characteristics within engineering systems.<\/p>\n When designating standards, a joint notation is often used, for example, ASTM A312 \/ ASME SA 312. The “S” prefix in the ASME code indicates that the ASTM standard has been adopted as a basis, though additional requirements regarding heat treatment or alloying element content may be introduced to ensure operational safety.<\/p>\n EV Group China provides supplies of rolled metal products that fully comply with the current versions of these standards, guaranteeing high quality and full documentary support for the products.<\/p>\n M* \u2014 indicates the use of the metric system of measurement in the standard.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":[],"wiki_category":[112],"class_list":["post-69917","wiki","type-wiki","status-publish","hentry","wiki_category-astm"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/evgroupchina.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/wiki\/69917","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/evgroupchina.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/wiki"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/evgroupchina.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/wiki"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/evgroupchina.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/wiki\/69917\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/evgroupchina.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=69917"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"wiki_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/evgroupchina.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/wiki_category?post=69917"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}\n\n
