Material Specification Relationships
Valve material selection follows a hierarchical approach based on service conditions:
- Temperature Service Classification
- High-temperature service → ASME A182/A182M (alloy steels)
- Standard-temperature service → ASME A105/105M (carbon steel)
- Low-temperature service → ASME A350 (carbon/alloy steel) or ASME A522 (nickel alloy)
- Corrosion/Chemical Service
- High-temperature corrosion → ASME B462 (UNS N08020, N08024, etc.)
- Powder metallurgy alloys → ASME B834 (UNS N08367, N06625)
- Specialized Services
- Marine applications → ASME F-series (F1020, F1271, F1370, etc.)
- Gaseous oxygen → ASME F1792
- Steam systems → ASME F1565, F1508
- Air/nitrogen systems → ASME F1793, F1795

Standard Designation Interpretation
Common suffixes and their meanings in ASME valve standards:
- M suffix (e.g., A105/105M): Metric version of the standard
- R(year): Revision year (e.g., R(1996))
- EI: Engineering Index designation (older standards)
- UNS: Unified Numbering System for materials (e.g., UNS N08367)
Note: The "Envelope Dimensions" standards (F885, F1098) specify installation space requirements rather than performance characteristics.
