Specification
| ASTM A 276 |
| Standard specification for stainless and heat resisting steel bright bars and shapes. This specification covers hot finished or cold finished bars except bars for re-forging and hot rolled or extruded shapes, such as angles, tees and channels in the more commonly used type of stainless steel, excluding the free matching types of general corrosion resistance and high temperatures services. |
| ASTM A 314 |
| Standard specification for stainless and heat resisting and bars for |
| forgings. The specification covers stainless and heat resisting steel billets |
| and bars intended only for forgings. |
| ASTM A 476 |
| Standard specification for stainless and heat-resisting steel bars and |
| shapes for used in boilers and other pressure vessels. |
| The specification covers hot and cold finished bars of stainless and heat |
| resisting steel, including rounds, squares and hexagons and hot-rolled or |
| extruded shapes such a angles, tees and channels for use in boiler and |
| pressure vessels construction. It is also related to the ASME boiler and |
| ressure vessel code SA-279 section II. |
| ASTM A 484 |
| Standard specification general requirements for stainless and heat- |
| resisting bars, billets and forgings. |
| This specification covers general requirements which shall apply to |
| stainless and heat resisting wrought steel bars, shapes forgings and |
| billets or other semi-finished material (except wire) for forging. Pertinent |
| details contained in this specification are tolerances for size, width, |
| thickness, length and straightness of bars materials. |
| ASTM Tolerance |
| Stainless and heating resisting bars are produced in various conditions |
| and surface finished. It is important that conditions be associated with the |
| appropriate finish because each finish is not applicable to every |
| condition. |
| Conditions and Surface Finish |
