This table is intended to give a "quick and dirty" comparison of American, British, German, and

Japanese Standards for common boiler tubing and boiler piping specifications.This table

must not be used for design. There is seldom an exact match between specifications in twodifferent Standards. Use this table only to find an approximate equivalent, then compare the

details of the specifications to determine if substitution is permissable. The best source I have

found (and it's neither completely accurate nor easy to use) is the Handbook of ComparativeWorld Steel Standards, published by ASTM. It's a revision of a handbook originally done by the

Japanese, and it's still half in Japanese, but it seems to be about the only thing available, short of

buying all of the individual Standards. You can buy it off the Web at www.astm.org.Click on

the Bookstore, then Technical Publications, then Steel. You may have to up the credit limit on

your plastic.

The table is divided into tubing, (which is used inside the boiler setting, as in steam generating

tubes, wall tubes, superheaters and economizers) and piping (which is used ouside the boiler

setting, as in headers, steam piping, and feedwater lines). The German (DIN) Standards don't

appear to differentiate between the two. Heat exchanger tube specs are not included here. In

general, the Japanese (JIS) specs match up pretty well with the American(ASME/ASTM), whilethe British (BS) and German specs are usually more difficult to find an equivalent in.

We welcome input on any poor choices, downright errors, or blank spots in the table. Please

email your comments to [email protected].
