Title
Standard Specification for Steel Investment Castings General Requirements, for Pressure-Containing Parts

ASTM International

Publication Date:
Jul 1, 2004

Scope:

(Footnote *)

This specification covers a group of common requirements that are mandatory for steel castings produced by the investment casting process for pressure-containing parts under each of the following ASTM Specifications:

This specification also covers a group of supplementary requirements, which may be applied to the above specifications as indicated therein. These requirements are provided for use when additional testing or inspection is desired and apply only when specified individually by the purchaser in the order.

When investment casting is ordered, the requirements of this specification shall take precedence over the individual material specification requirements.

The values stated in either inch-pound or SI units are to be regarded separately as the standard. Within the text, the SI units are shown in brackets. The values in each system are not exact equivalents; therefore, each system must be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in nonconformance with this specification. Inchpound units are applicable for material ordered to Specification A 985 and SI units for material ordered to Specification A 985M.

This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

Footnote * - A Summary of Changes section appears at the end of this standard.
