ASTM A795 Standard Explained: High-Performance Steel Pipes for Fire Protection Systems
What is ASTM A795?
ASTM A795 is an international standard from ASTM International (American Society for Testing and Materials) for seamless and welded steel pipes specifically designed for fire sprinkler systems and water distribution lines.
This standard specifically used to ensure that steel pipes have the required quality, strength, and reliability for use in
fire protection applications.
Types of ASTM A795 Pipes
- Black Steel Pipe
- Without galvanizing coating.
- Commonly used in indoor fire sprinkler systems.
- Galvanized Steel Pipe
- Zinc-coated to resist corrosion.
- Suitable for outdoor or humid environments.
ASTM A795 Technical Specifications
- Nominal Pipe Size (NPS): 1” – 10”.
- Manufacturing Types: seamless and welded (mostly ERW).
- Schedules: available in SCH 10, SCH 40, SCH 80.
- Lengths: random (6–7 m) and double random (12–14 m).
Connection Types: compatible with
threaded, grooved, or welded joints.
Applications of ASTM A795 Pipes
- Fire sprinkler systems
Used in office buildings, apartments, shopping centers, hospitals, and factories.
- High-standard water supply lines
Supports the distribution of clean water in buildings that require stable piping system quality and reliability.
- Industrial fire protection networks
Used in industrial safety systems such as hydrant networks and sprinkler installations to ensure a quick response to potential fires.
