ASTM A105/A105M Carbon Steel Forgings for Piping Applications
ASTM A105/A105M test method determines the role of forged carbon steel piping components for ambient and higher temperature services in pressure systems. This method does not cover the tube sheets and hollow cylindrical forgings for pressure vessel shells. The final results of this method are displayed keeping in view the international standards and inch-pound units.
Scope:
ASTM A105/A105M test method covers the characteristics of steel forgings and steel bars. It determines their applications and specifications. The method proceeds with the quality check, heat treatment, and the testing of the chemical composition of materials. The results obtained from this method help in quality control, research, and performance evaluation of steel forgings.
Procedure:
In ASTM A105/A105M, the specimen is manufactured as per the specified measurements, and limits are specified for the chemical composition of the material. The analysis is done in accordance with the agreement between the purchaser and the producer. The mechanical properties of the steel bars are determined. Tensile strength is measured, and heat treatment is applied. The hardness test and the hydrostatic tests are performed. The method also covers packaging and certification.
Specimen detail:
Specimen size should be as per the requirements. In this case, the specimen is taken such that the forgings produced weigh 4540 Kg.
Result:
The method covers the certification, sampling, testing, and inspection of the specimen within the set limits. E stands for elongation, and T represents thickness.
Conclusion:
ASTM A105/A105M test method is specifically important for the quality assurance and durability check of steel forgings or steel bars. Their role in the piping services is determined.
