Scope:
The ASTM A105/A105M-21 test method covers the characteristics of steel forgings and steel bars, determining their applications and specifications. The method proceeds with quality checks, heat treatment, and 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:
The specimen is manufactured per the specified measurements, and limits are defined for the chemical composition of the material. The agreement between the purchaser and the producer does the analysis. 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 the packaging and certification.

Specimen Size:
The specimen size should be according to the requirements. In this case, the specimen was taken so that the forgings produced weighed 4540 Kg.
Data:
The method covers the certification, sampling, testing, and specimen inspection within the set limits. E stands for elongation, and T represents the thickness.
Conclusion:
ASTM A105/A105M-21 test method is essential for the quality assurance and durability check of steel forgings or bars. Their role in the piping services is determined.
