ASTM A333 Low Temperature Steel Pipe
Date:2019-06-24      View(s):1361      Tag:ASTM A333 Low Temperature Steel Pipe

ASTM A333 standard specification for seamless and welded steel pipe for low-temperature service and other applications with required notch toughness.

This specification covers wall seamless and welded carbon and alloy steel pipe intended for use at low temperatures. The pipe shall be made by the seamless or welding process with the addition of no filler metal in the welding operation.
