ASTM A234 is a materials standard developed by ASTM International, the American Society for Testing and Materials. It specifies the chemical composition, mechanical properties, heat treatment, and impact testing requirements for welded pipe fittings made of carbon steel and alloy steel. This standard requires materials to meet specific chemical composition requirements to ensure the strength and corrosion resistance of the fittings.
