ASTM Standards: How Are Rolled, Forged, Pipe, Tube, and Wire Products Made?
Course Description
This on demand webinar is designed for all individuals who work with steels. You will learn how rolled, forged, pipe, tube, and wire steel products are made, improving your ability to understand the ASTM specification requirements for these wrought products.
These new skills will improve your ability to identify the correct ASTM specification, grade, and their requirements when ordering steel products and reviewing material test reports (MTRs). These goals are achieved through the use of many Connecting-the-Standards© examples, including: ASTM product specifications, general requirements specifications, test methods, and terminology standards.
Online access is available for one year from the date of purchase.
Learning Outcomes
Participants who successfully complete this on demand webinar will be able to:
- identify and apply ASTM standard steel terminology for wrought steel products;
- describe how steel plates, sheet, strip are made and the purposes of hot and cold rolling;
- describe how steel pipe and tube are made;
- identify the advantages and disadvantages of seamless versus welded pipe and tube;
- identify the advantages and disadvantages of the different welded pipe and tube making processes (FBW, ERW, and EFW);
- describe how steel forgings are made;
- describe how steel wire is made; and
- compare the ASTM Standard requirements for rolled, forged, pipe, tube, and drawn steel products.
Who Should Attend
This on demand webinar is designed for all personnel involved with steels, such as, engineers, inspectors, QA/QC technicians, NDE examiners, purchasers, inventory control personnel, tradespeople, manufacturing and repair companies, engineering procurement companies, and others working in most industries that use steel, including: civil construction (buildings, bridges), pressure equipment, ship building, water treatment, pipelines, oil and gas industries (oilfield, upgraders, refineries, etc.), chemical plants, petroleum refining, petrochemical plants, power plants, pulp and paper plants, fertilizer plants, and many others.
