Dear friends,


I have received the customer order for pipeline valves with ASME SA216 Gr WCB.

My doubt is there any diff. between ASTM A216 Gr WCB Vs ASME SA216 Gr WCB.

Thank you,

SA-216 states the following:  "Identical with ASTM Specification A216/A216M-07 except for the addition of 2.3 and editorial differences in 2.1 and 10.1."
 
2.3 references ASME Section IX
10.1 requires welders and welding procedures used for repair to be qualified in accordance with ASME Section IX
 
 2.1 - no significant difference that I could quickly discern
 
All else is the same.

if the item SA 216 is meant for code stamped vessels and parts, then the acceptable ASTM editions are upto 2007 editions ( check the table of acceptable ASTM Editions in Part II-A).
You need to check the material certificates, if the same is of ASTM. If ASTM is mentioned in the MTC, instead of SA, then ASTM EDITION Year need to be in Certificate.

Sorry, I did not see the items for which this is used. For valves, it is acceptable to use ASTM, in place of SA.

Dear Muthu
 
There are few differences between SA material and ASTM material.  If you require SA216 material, please refer to the Sec. II Part A 2007 Edition and read the fine print under the ASME Monogram which reads (Identical with ASTM A216/A 216M-93 except for the addition of 2.3 and editorial differences in 2.1 and 10.1)
 
For any material please refer to such fine prints.  However, this is mostly applicable when the product has to be code stamped.Test certificate to be reviewed for compliance with SA material including the year and recertification is also to be done.
 
Hope this clarifies your doubts. 
 Regards
