ASTM A36 – Standard specification for carbon structural steel. This specification covers shapes of structural quality for use in riveted, bolted, or welded construction of bridges and buildings, and for general structural purposes.

ASTM A572 – Standard specification for high-strength low-alloy structural steel. This specification covers five grades of high-strength low-alloy shapes intended for riveted, bolted, or welded construction of bridges, or for other construction applications.

ASTM A588 – Standard specification for high-strength low-alloy structural steel. This specification covers shapes for welded, riveted, or bolted construction but intended primarily for use in welded bridges and buildings where savings in weight or added durability is important. The atmospheric corrosion resistance of this steel in most environments is substantially better than that of carbon steels with or without copper addition.

ASTM A514 – Standard specification for high-yield-strength, quenched and tempered alloy steel plate, suitable for welding. This specification covers quenched and tempered alloy steel plates of structural quality intended primarily for use in welded bridge construction and other structures.

ASTM A709 – Standard specification for carbon and high-strength low-alloy and quenched-and-tempered alloy structural steel plates for bridges. This specification covers carbon HSLA plates intended for use in bridges. Seven grades are available in four yield strength levels.

ASTM – A285 – Standard specification for pressure vessel plates, carbon steel, low-and-intermediate-tensile strength. This application covers carbon steel plates of low and intermediate-tensile strength and is intended for fusion-welded pressure vessels. The plates are available in three grades having different strength levels.

ASTM – A515 – Standard specification for pressure vessel plates, carbon steel, for intermediate-and-higher-temperature service. This specification covers carbon-silicon steel plates primarily for intermediate and higher-temperature service in welded boilers and other pressure vessels. The plates are available in three grades each having different strength levels.

ASTM – A516 – Standard specification for pressure vessel plates, carbon steel, for moderate-and-lower-temperature service. This specification covers carbon steel plates intended primarily for service in welded pressure vessels where improved notch toughness is important. The plates are available in four grades each having different strength levels.
