However, neither the SSINA norits member companies warrants theaccuracy of the information contained inthis HANDBOOK or its suitability for anygeneral and specific use. The SSINA assumes no liability or responsibility ofany kind in connection with the use ofthis information. The reader is advisedthat the material contained herein shouldnot be used or relied on for any specificor general applications without firstsecuring competent designer HANDBOOK has been written to provide the designer,engineer, specification writer, producer and user of stainless steel with a listing of all the current ASTM (American Society for Testing andMaterials) standards.

3 These standards are listed by mill shape (BAR,SHEET, WIRE, etc.) and by product (bolts, fittings). stainless types arealso listed, along with a selection of applicable society and original version was initially published by the Committee ofStainless steel Producers, American Iron and steel Institute (AISI),Washington, , and was used, with thanks, as a basis for thisupdated 2001 Annual Book of ASTM Standards, Sections 1 and 13 wereused as the reference base for listed ASTM steel is not a single alloy, but rather the name applies to agroup of iron based alloys containing a minimum of elements are added and the chromium content is increased toimprove corrosion resistance and/or enhance mechanical are over 50 stainless steel types originally recognized by theAISI and are detailed in a designer HANDBOOK , Design Guidelines forthe Selection and Use of stainless steel , available from the SpecialtySteel Industry of North America ( SSINA ).

4 The assumption is made that the reader is well aware of the varioustypes of stainless steels including the five metallurgical classifications(austenitic, ferritic, martensitic, austenitic/ferritic-or-duplex, andprecipitation hardening). Where possible, these five classifications aregenerally shown with austenitic first. In some cases the ASTM reference is to the content rather than the classification. In those casesthe basic content is listed ( , iron-chromium-nickel).Specifications by type are listed by the types generally in use and donot cover all the stainless steel types that are ..Plate, sheet and strip, chromium-nickelA176 ..Plate, sheet and strip, chromiumA182 ..Forged flanges, fittings and valvesA193 ..BoltsA194 ..NutsA213 ..Seamless ferritic and austenitic alloy boiler,superheater and heat exchanger tubesA217 ..Castings, martensitic stainless and alloyA240 ..Plate, sheet and strip for pressure vesselsA249.
