1.1 This specification covers a group of common requirements that, unless otherwise specified in an individual specification, shall apply to steel castings for pressure-containing parts under each of the following ASTM specifications:

Title of Specification ASTM Designation
Steel Castings, Carbon, Suitable for Fusion Welding, A 216/A 216M
for High-Temperature Service
Steel Castings, Martensitic Stainless and Alloy, for A 217/A 217M
Pressure-Containing Parts, Suitable for High-
Temperature Service
Castings, Austenitic, Austenitic-Ferritic (Duplex), A 351/A 351M
Pressure-Containing Parts
Steel Castings, Ferritic and Martensitic, for Pressure- A 352/A 352M
Containing Parts, Suitable for Low-Temperature
Service
Steel Castings, Alloy, Specially Heat-Treated, for A 389/A 389M
Pressure-Containing Parts, Suitable for High-
Temperature Service
Steel Castings Suitable for Pressure Service A 487/A 487M
Castings, Iron-Nickel-Chromium and Nickel Alloys, Specially Controlled for Pressure Retaining Parts for Corrosive Service A 990
Castings, Austenitic-Ferritic (Duplex) Stainless Steel, for Pressure-Containing Parts A 995/A 995M

1.2 This specification also covers a group of supplementary requirements which may be applied to the above specifications as indicated therein. These are provided for use when additional testing or inspection is desired and apply only when specified individually by the purchaser in the order.

1.3 In case of conflict between the requirements of the individual specification and this general specification, the former shall prevail.

1.4 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in non-conformance with the standard.
