ASTM A333 Standard Specification for Seamless and Welded Steel Pipe for Low-Temperature Service

ASTM A333 Standard Specification for Seamless and Welded Steel Pipe for Low-Temperature Service

ASTM A333 Standard Specification covers nominal (average) wall seamless and welded carbon and alloy steel pipe intended for use at low temperatures. Several grades of ferritic steel are included as listed in Table 1. Some product sizes may not be available under this specifification because heavier wall thicknesses have an adverse affect on low-temperature impact properties. 

Supplementary Requirement S1 of an optional nature is provided. This shall apply only when specifified by the purchaser. 

The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. Within the text, the SI units are shown in brackets. The values stated in each system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in non-conformance with the standard. The inch-pound units shall apply unless the “M” designation of this specifification is specifified in the order. NOTE 1—The dimensionless designator NPS (nominal pipe size) has been substituted in this standard for such traditional terms as “nominal diameter,” “size,” and “nominal size.”
