Introduction of U.S. Standard ASTM

ASTM

Which means the American Society for Testing and Materials, is a globally recognized leader in the development and delivery of international voluntary consensus standards. Today, some 12,000 ASTM standards are used around the world to improve product quality, enhance safety, facilitate market access and trade, and build consumer confidence.

Standard designations usually consist of a letter prefix and a sequentially assigned number. Prefix letters correspond to the following subjects:

A = Iron and Steel Materials
B = Nonferrous Metal Materials
C = Ceramic, Concrete, and Masonry Materials
D = Miscellaneous Materials
E = Miscellaneous Subjects
F = Materials for Specific Applications
G = Corrosion, Deterioration, and Degradation of Materials

We have some Pipe tools suit the following standards: ASTM F1807, ASTM F1960, ASTM F877, ASTM F2098.

Let me show you the brieves of these ASTM standards.

ASTM F877: Standard Specification for Crosslinked Polyethylene (PEX) Hot- and Cold-Water Distribution Systems. Check the details here http://www.astm.org/cgi-bin/resolver.cgi?F877.

ASTM F1807: Standard Specification for Metal Insert Fittings Utilizing a Copper Crimp Ring for SDR9 Cross-linked Polyethylene (PEX) Tubing and SDR9 Polyethylene of Raised Temperature (PE-RT) Tubing. Check the details here http://www.astm.org/cgi-bin/resolver.cgi?F1807.

ASTM F1960: Standard Specification for Cold Expansion Fittings with PEX Reinforcing Rings for Use with Cross-linked Polyethylene (PEX) Tubing. Check the details here http://www.astm.org/cgi-bin/resolver.cgi?F1960.

ASTM F2098: Standard Specification for Stainless Steel Clamps for Securing SDR9 Cross-linked Polyethylene (PEX) Tubing to Metal Insert and Plastic Insert Fittings. Check the details here http://www.astm.org/cgi-bin/resolver.cgi?F2098.
