ASTM A672 vs ASTM A671
ASTM A672
- • Designed for Moderate Temperatures and high pressure.
- • Generally does not require rigorous low-temperature impact testing.
- • Frequently used in refineries, power plants, and high-pressure steam lines.
- • Base plate is often ASTM A515 or A516.
ASTM A671
- • Designed for Atmospheric and Lower Temperatures.
- • Often requires Charpy V-Notch impact testing depending on class/grade.
- • Commonly used in low-temp chemical processing and storage.
- • Base plate is exclusively ASTM A516 (or similar low-temp plate).
