ASTM A234: specification for piping fitting of wrought carbon steel and alloy steel for moderate and high-temperature service.
Ordering information and general requirement sees ASTM A960.
Material
__Killed steel, forging, bars, plates, seamless or fusion-welded tubular product with filler added. “fusion-welded tubular with filler added: SAW, GTAW (filler add), GMAW”. MTC shall be cleared marking specification number, grades and date.
__If product comply another standard like, the MTC shall be stated test value, “ex. NACE MR 0175, MTC shall state hardness value, forming and heat treatment, read more in NACE MR0175 part 1, 2, 3.

Manufacture
__Forging or shaping operation by cold and hot forming.
__NDE may be performed either prior to or after forming on welded product.
__NDE reports must state in the MTC and available review by purchase.

Heat treatment
__Heat treatment shall be performed after forming, see para. 7 on ASTM A960
__ASTM A234 WPB most finished by normalizing, Annualizing.
__Other grades see section 7.0.

Chemical composition
__See table 1, It is identification by trace number, heat number, casting number, or heat code.
____L- ladle: test on casting, another name heat, casing.
____P- product: test on production after forming, see ASTM A960 for acceptance criteria.
__Carbon equivalent (CE) % = C n+ Mn/6 + (Cr+Mo+V)/5 +(Ni+Cu)/15: there are limit in the project specification and application.
__And other content limitation in specification, don’t forget see any foot notes in each table. If piping fitting formed from pipe, the MTC shall be stated “Material made from seamless pipe/welded pipe” and traceable heat number of pipe. NDE reports such RT/UT MP/PT shall attach to MTC if fitting made from welded tubular.
