What are ASTM pipes?
ASTM pipes are pipes manufactured in accordance with standards set by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), an international organization that publishes technical standards for materials and products. Pipes made to ASTM standards follow strict requirements for dimensions, wall thickness, pressure rating and material quality. This ensures consistent performance and a proper fit with standard fittings.
Where are ASTM pipes used?
ASTM pipes are mainly used in plumbing and water supply systems for:
- Residential houses and apartments
- Commercial buildings, offices and shopping complexes
- Hotels, hospitals and schools
- Internal and external water supply lines
- Overhead and underground water tank connections
- Bathroom and kitchen plumbing
