Understanding ASTM A240 & ASTM A270
What It Is:
This product is governed by a powerful combination of standards to ensure both material integrity and hygienic performance.
ASTM A240: Defines the precise chemical composition and mechanical properties of the S31254 super austenitic plate, guaranteeing its superior corrosion resistance.
ASTM A270: The critical standard for sanitary tubing. It dictates the required surface finishes (Ra values), cleanliness, welding process, and inspection methods to ensure a hygienic, contamination-free product.
A Dual Guarantee: We use A240-compliant material to create a tube that meets or exceeds all A270 requirements, delivering unparalleled quality.
Why It Is Your Core Focus:
Our unwavering adherence to both standards is our promise of total system integrity and product purity for your most sensitive processes.
This ensures ultimate protection against corrosion from high-chloride solutions, brines, or aggressive cleaning agents where 316L would fail.
It guarantees an ultra-smooth, crevice-free surface that prevents microbial growth and ensures effective Clean-in-Place (CIP) and Sterilize-in-Place (SIP).
This dual certification provides you with a fully compliant, traceable tube and MTCs, simplifying validation for pharmaceutical and food-grade applications.
