When talking about industrial materials such as welded tubes, it is essential to understand the meaning of acronyms such as ASTM and the standards associated with them. Eurotubi, a leading manufacturer of precision welded steel tubes, strictly follows the specifications established by ASTM standards to guarantee the quality and safety of its products.
What is the meaning of ASTM and what is its role?
ASTM is the abbreviation for American Society for Testing & Materials, an authoritative organization that publishes technical specifications covering a wide range of materials, including the steels used in tube production. ASTM’s main role is to establish international standards for ordering steel, the types of tests needed and the requirements for the various types of tubes produced.
Eurotubi is committed to producing high-quality welded tubes that meet the strict specifications set by the ASTM standard, namely:
- ASTM A513: This specification covers resistance-welded carbon tubes used in construction. Eurotubi strictly adheres to the specifications of ASTM A513 to ensure that its tubes meet the highest standards of quality and safety.
- ASTM A787: The ASTM A787 specification covers a wide range of pipes, including round, square, rectangular and special-shaped electric resistance welded pipes. These tubes can be galvanized after welding (hot-dip galvanized) or produced from coils pre-coated with materials such as zinc, aluminum or zinc-aluminum-magnesium alloys. Eurotubi ensures that its round tubes strictly follow the specifications of ASTM A787 to ensure reliable and durable performance.
