British and american standards for stainless steels for pressure vessel applications

Introduction

The table shows both current and obsolete British standards, (where these may be of current interest), in the ‘Status’ column. ‘C’ is current and ‘W’ is withdrawn.
The ‘date’ is the original publication year.

For ASTM standards, the table shows current standards only.
ASTM standards are reviewed each year and the status updated, even if no changes have been made to the standard. The original and current year of issue is not therefore shown.

These lists cannot be guaranteed as complete and accurate by the BSSA.
In cases of doubt the catalogues maintained by the British Standards Institution or the American Society for Testing and Materials should be used.

Use the ‘Ctrl’ and ‘F’ keys to ‘find’ the standard you are looking for.
