Standard Specification for Door Fittings, for Watertight /Gastight /Airtight, Weathertight, and Non-Tight Doors, for Marine Use
ABSTRACT
This specification covers the principal design and type of material for manufacturing fittings for watertight/gastight/airtight, weathertight, and non-tight doors, for marine use. The fittings are intended for use on all doors for marine use, except joiner and expanded metal doors. The dogs and hinges shall be classified as follows: Dog A and B; hinge A and B. All securing screws and fasteners shall be of stainless steel.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers the principal design and type of material for manufacturing fittings for watertight/gastight/airtight, weathertight, and non-tight doors, for marine use. Note that “gastight” is commercial terminology which also means “airtight” in naval terminology.
1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.
1.3 The fittings are intended for use on all doors for marine use, except joiner and expanded metal doors.
1.4 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.

Overview
The ASTM F1073-19 Standard Specification for Door Fittings, for Watertight/Gastight/Airtight, Weathertight, and Non-Tight Doors, for Marine Use defines the principal design and material requirements for door fittings used in the marine industry. This standard ensures the safety, tightness integrity, and durability of doors exposed to challenging marine environments. Fittings covered include those for watertight, gastight (also recognized as airtight in naval terminology), weathertight, and non-tight doors onboard marine vessels-excluding joiner and expanded metal doors.
By following ASTM F1073-19 recommendations, manufacturers and operators can ensure compliance with international standards for marine door fittings, supporting safety and performance across maritime applications.
Key Topics
- Classification of Fittings:
- Door Dogs:
- Type A: Fitted to the door
- Type B: Fitted to the frame
- Hinges:
- Type A: With clenched pin
- Type B: With clenched pin secured by cotter pin
- Door Dogs:
- Material Requirements:
- Wide use of stainless steel (notably Type 316) for screws and fasteners ensures corrosion resistance.
- Material selection differs for mild steel, aluminum, and glass-reinforced plastic doors, covering items like handles, bushings, washers, and glands.
- Construction and Installation:
- Fittings designed for welding, riveting, or bolting depending on door and material type.
- Insulation required at points of contact between different metals to prevent galvanic corrosion.
- Surface Preparation and Coating:
- Mild steel surfaces must be abrasive blasted to “near white” and coated with inorganic zinc silicate.
- Aluminum requires chemical conversion coating and epoxy primer before assembly.
- Workmanship and Marking:
- Smooth finish and precise marking with purchase order and type for each fitting, attached via waterproof tag.
- Compliance and Units:
- Measurements are listed in inch-pound units as the standard; metric equivalents are for reference only.
Applications
- Shipbuilding:
- Ensures reliable performance of watertight, gastight, and weathertight doors in the construction of cargo ships, passenger vessels, military craft, and offshore platforms.
- Marine Retrofitting and Repair:
- Guides replacement and repair work to maintain integrity in marine doors, contributing to overall vessel safety.
- Manufacturing of Marine Hardware:
- Applies to component suppliers and fabricators of door fittings for newly-built marine vessels and spare part markets.
- Regulatory and Safety Compliance:
- Supports compliance with international maritime safety standards, reducing risk and ensuring consistent performance under harsh sea conditions.
