AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR TESTING AND

MATERIALS (ASTM)
The main objectives of the American Society For Testing & Materials are (1) to further the
knowledge of many types of materials, and (2) establish standardized specifications of and
standardized test methods for these materials.

The chemical and mechanical tests that apply to welding filler metals, as de-

scribed by the AWS and other professional organizations, are often based on the ASTM

The ASME is instrumental in establishing many codes and specifications. The

ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code is of primary importance for welding materials and
applications. This code is extensive, and is published in several different sections. Those
parts that refer to welding filler metals and welding requirements are:
