.Amazinga wezinto ezibonakalayo we-ASTM athuthukiswa yi-American Society for Materials and Testing, amazinga wezinto ezibonakalayo we-ASTM angabandakanya izakhiwo zamakhemikhali, ezomshini, ezingokwenyama nezikagesi.Lawa mazinga ahlanganisa kokubili incazelo yezindlela zokuhlola okufanele zenziwe ezintweni zokwakha, kanye nosayizi nokuma okuzothathwa yilezi zinto.Izinto zokwakha ezifana nokhonkolo zingadingeka ngokomthetho wendawo ukuze zihlangabezane namazinga e-ASTM ngaphambi kokuba zisetshenziswe ekwakheni.Phakathi kwe-ASTM A53(ipayipi yensimbi yesakhiwo）kanye ne-ASTM A106 asetshenziswa kabanzi.

I-ASME izinga le-American Society of Mechanical Engineers.Ukucaciswa kwezinto ze-ASME kusekelwe kulokho okushicilelwe i-ASTM, i-AWS namanye amazinga aziwayo kazwelonke nakwamanye amazwe.Izindinganiso ze-ASME ziyadingeka ngokomthetho lapho kwakhiwa ingqalasizinda njengamabhuloho, amapayipi emishini kagesi namabhayela.Phakathi kwe-ASME b16.5 isetshenziswa kabanzi.

I-ASTM inesibopho sokuthuthukisa kanye nokwenziwa kabusha kwamazinga azo zonke izinhlobo zezinto ezindala nezintsha.Ngoba kuwukuhlangana kokuhlolwa nezinto zokwakha.

I-ASME iwukuba imunce futhi ihlunge lawa mazinga emisebenzi efanele esetshenzisiwe, futhi ilungiswe ukuze ithuthuke.

I-ASTM iyindinganiso yempahla yase-US, efana ne-GB713 yasekhaya

I-ASME iyincazelo yedizayini, kodwa i-ASME iwuhlelo oluphelele.
