ASTM D3350

ASTM D3350 is a standard that classifies and grades underground pipeline steels used in water and wastewater systems. It provides a consistent method for specifying the material's properties, such as strength, ductility, and toughness, based on the steel’s chemical composition and testing results. The classification system helps engineers select appropriate steel grades for durability, safety, and longevity of pipelines. Essentially, ASTM D3350 ensures that the steel used for pipelines meets certain quality standards and performs reliably under various conditions, facilitating safe and effective infrastructure design and construction.
