Designation:A530/A530M12Standard Specification forGeneral Requirements for Specialized Carbon and AlloySteel Pipe1This standard is issued under the fixed designation A530/A530M;the number immediately following the designation indicates the yearof original adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.A superscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.1.Scope*1.1 This specification2covers a group of requirementswhich,with the exceptions of Section 6.3,Section 14,Section21,and Section 22,are mandatory requirements to the ASTMpipe product specifications noted below unless the productspecification specifies different requirements,in which case therequirement of the product specification shall prevail.1.2 Sections 6.3 or 21 are mandatory if the product speci-fication has a requirement for product analysis or flatteningtests.1.3 Section 22 is mandatory if the product specification hasa hydrostatic test requirement without defining the test param-eters.1.4 Section 14 is for information only.1.5 In case of conflict between a requirement of the productspecification and a requirement of this general requirementspecification,only the requirement of the product specificationneed be satisfied.Title of SpecificationASTM DesignationASeamless Carbon Steel Pipe for High-TemperatureServiceA106/A106MMetal-Arc-Welded Steel Pipe for Use With High-Pressure Transmission SystemsA381Seamless Carbon Steel Pipe for Atmospheric andLower TemperaturesA524Centrifugally Cast Carbon Steel Pipe for High-Temperature ServiceA660Electric-Fusion-Welded Steel Pipe for Atmosphericand Lower TemperaturesA671/A671MElectric-Fusion-Welded Steel Pipe for High-PressureService at Moderate TemperaturesA672/A672MCarbon and Alloy Steel Pipe,Electric-Fusion-Weldedfor High-Pressure Service at High TemperaturesA691/A691MAThese designations refer to the latest issue of the respective specifications.1.6 The values stated in either inch-pound units or SI unitsare to be regarded separately as standard.Within the text,theSI units are shown in brackets.The values stated in eachsystem are not exact equivalents;therefore,each system mustbe used independently of the other.Combining values from thetwo systems may result in nonconformance with the specifi-cation.The inch-pound units shall apply unless the“M”designation(SI)of the product specification is specified in theorder.NOTE1The dimensionless designator NPS(nominal pipe size)hasbeen substituted in this standard for such traditional terms as“nominaldiameter,”“size,”and“nominal size.”1.7 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:3A106/A106M Specification for Seamless Carbon Steel Pipefor High-Temperature ServiceA370 Test Methods and Definitions for Mechanical Testingof Steel ProductsA381 Specification for Metal-Arc-Welded Steel Pipe for UseWith High-Pressure Transmission SystemsA450/A450M Specification for General Requirements forCarbon and Low Alloy Steel TubesA524 Specification for Seamless Carbon Steel Pipe forAtmospheric and Lower TemperaturesA660 Specification for Centrifugally Cast Carbon Steel Pipefor High-Temperature ServiceA671/A671M Specification for Electric-Fusion-WeldedSteel Pipe for Atmospheric and Lower Temperatures1This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee A01 on Steel,Stainless Steel and Related Alloys and is the direct responsibility of SubcommitteeA01.09 on Carbon Steel Tubular Products.Current edition approved May 1,2012.Published June 2012.Originallyapproved in 1965.Last previous edition approved in 2010 as A530/A530M04a(2010).DOI:10.1520/A0530_A0530M-12.2For ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code applications see related Specifi-cation SA-530 in Section II of that Code.3For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.*A Summary of Changes section appears at the end of this standardCopyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United States1Copyright by ASTM Intl(all rights reserved);A672/A672M Specification for Electric-Fusion-WeldedSteel Pipe for High-Pressure Service at Moderate Tem-peraturesA691/A691M Specification for Carbon andAlloy Steel Pipe,Electric-Fusion-Welded for High-Pressure Service at HighTemperaturesA700 Practices for Packaging,Marking,and Loading Meth-ods for Steel Products for ShipmentA751 Test Methods,Practices,and Terminology for Chemi-cal Analysis of Steel Prod
