New Editions released for 3 Best-selling ASTM standards: ASTM A240, ASTM A370, and ASTM A480

I’ve blogged about all 3 of these ASTM standards before, since they are some of the most frequently requested standards Document Center sells.   We want to keep you posted when new issues are released, so here is the latest information on ASTM A240, ASTM A370, and ASTM A480.

ASTM A240/A240M-11b, “Standard Specification for Chromium and Chromium-Nickel Stainless Steel Plate, Sheet, and Strip for Pressure Vessels and for General Applications.”  This is the third revision for 2011, and replaces the A240/A240M-11 and A240/A240M-11a editions.

ASTM A370-11a, “Standard Test Methods and Definitions for Mechanical Testing of Steel Products.”  The second revision for 2011, replacing A370-11.

ASTM A480/A480M-11b, “Standard Specification for General Requirements for Flat-Rolled Stainless and Heat-Resisting Steel Plate, Sheet, and Strip.”  The third revision for 2011, superseding the A480/480M-11 and A480/A480M-11a editions.

These ASTM standards are available from Document Center Inc.  in red-line editions.  These are a quick and easy way to compare all of the changes between the current, active standard and the previous version.  You get copies both of the new edition and the previous edition with the markup visible to show you additions, deletions and other changes to the old text to create the new.  There is a slight increase in the price of the standard to cover the cost of this service.

Just order on Document Center’s website, www.document-center.com, and request the redline edition in your order notes.  Or contact us by phone (650-591-7600), fax (650-591-7617) or email (info@document-center.com).  Not all ASTM’s have redline editions, but when they are available they can save you a lot of time and money.
