ASTM A268 TP410, TP430, TP439 Stainless Steel Tubing

What is ASTM A268?
ASTM A268 is the standard specification for seamless and welded ferritic and martensitic stainless steel pipe for general service.
The pipe shall be manufactured by the seamless or welded process, reheated to 1200°F [650°C] or higher, and then cooled to conform to the requirements of this specification. Designations include TP410, TP405, TP420, TP430, TP430Ti, TP403, TP409, TP444, TP439, and TP446. This standard covers welded ferritic and martensitic stainless steel pipe in various nominal wall thicknesses for general corrosion-resistant and high-temperature service.
