01 / Material
Grade & standard
Provide the exact grade, applicable material standard and any service-specific requirements. Confirm these against the quotation.
Home / Quality
Quality
Details that belong
in every enquiry.
Clear specifications help align your material enquiry with the requirements of your project.
02 / Dimensions
Size & tolerance
Define diameter, wall thickness, length, tolerances and finish. For precision tubes, include any additional dimensional criteria.
03 / Documentation
Certificates & inspection
State any material certificate, traceability or inspection requirements at the enquiry stage so they can be reviewed before supply.
Choose the standard for the product form
A material grade identifies an alloy. A product standard establishes the relevant manufacturing and acceptance framework, while the project design determines service requirements. Begin an enquiry with all three.
| Product requirement | Reference to review |
|---|---|
| Austenitic stainless steel pipe | ASTM A312 |
| General-service austenitic tubing | ASTM A269 |
| Specified small-diameter tubing | ASTM A632 |
| Welded heat-exchanger tubing | ASTM A249 |
| Welded mechanical tubing and shapes | ASTM A554 |
| Passivation using electropolishing | ASTM B912 |
Certificates should match the ordered material
Identify the exact grade, material standard, dimensional requirements and document scope in your enquiry. Confirm the documentation available for the proposed material before ordering. A published standard reference is not a certificate for the supplied product.
