Standards for Industrial Stainless Steel Pipes

Quality standards are of paramount importance in manufacturing, and industrial stainless-steel tubes are no different. This article from Son Ha SSP outlines the prominent global standards for industrial stainless steel pipes

1. General introduction to standards for industrial stainless steel pipes

The Law on Standards and Technical Regulations – 2006 states that ‘Standards are regulations on technical specifications and management requirements used as benchmarks to classify and assess products, goods, services, processes, environments, and other objects in socio-economic activities to enhance their quality and performance.’

Why Standards Matter for Industrial Stainless-Steel Tubes?

• Quality Assurance: The standards precisely define the chemical composition and mechanical properties to guarantee quality of the tubes, thereby enhancing durability and corrosion resistance even in demanding environments like chemicals, high temperatures, or outdoor use.
• Achieving Uniformity: Fundamentally, standards exist to standardize something.  Aligning the production of stainless-steel tubes to standards helps maintain uniformity across the product range.
• Elevating Corporate Reputation: Manufacturing to standards not only assures quality of industrial stainless-steel tubes but also reflects the company’s dedication to customer safety and satisfaction.

2. Internationally Renowned Standards for Industrial Stainless Steel Pipes

2.1. ASTM Standards

The ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) standards represent a highly respected set of technical specifications for materials and products globally. Established in 1898, ASTM has evolved into one of the largest standardization bodies worldwide, maintaining over 12,575 active standards.

The ASTM standards are internationally recognized among the most prestigious ones for industrial stainless steel tubes.

ASTM standards covering 15 key areas, including stainless steel tubes, are widely regarded for their role in ensuring product quality, technology, and safety. Top ASTM Standards Governing Industrial Stainless-Steel Tubes:

ASTM A312: The most widely adopted standard for industrial stainless steel pipes,  covering seamless, straight-welded, and spiral-welded tubes intended for high-pressure and high-temperature uses.

ASTM A213: The standard is for seamless stainless-steel tubes employed in boilers, heat exchangers, and overheated applications.

ASTM A269: The standard is for seamless and welded stainless steel tubes used in general applications without high-pressure or high-temperature requirements.

ASTM A778: The standard is for circular welded stainless steel tubes utilized across industrial and civil applications.

2.2. Japan Industrial Standards (JIS)

The JIS system represents a comprehensive set of industrial standards from Japan,  developed and coordinated by the Japanese Industrial Standards Committee (JISC) and published through the Japanese Standards Association (JSA).  JIS standards play a crucial role in establishing quality and safety guidelines for products, including industrial stainless steel tubes.

While widely adopted in Japan, these standards are also hold prominent global recognition. The two leading JIS Standards for stainless steel tubes are: JIS G3459 – Governs stainless steel tubes used in plumbing systems, and JIS G3463 – Applies to stainless steel tubes intended for boilers and heat exchangers.

2.3 DIN Standards

DIN standards are a framework of industrial specifications developed by the German Institute for Standardization, headquartered in Berlin. DIN’s primary mission is to establish a unified set of specifications for products and processes, thereby promoting consistency in quality throughout industries.
