ABSTRACT
This practice is intended as a guide to shipbuilders, shipowners, and design agents for use in the preparation of piping system material schedules for commercial ship design and construction. The materials and limitations listed in this specification meet the minimum requirements of the U.S. Coast Guard and the American Bureau of Shipping and should be considered to be the minimum acceptable materials in regard to material, design, and testing.
SCOPE
1.1 This practice is intended as a guide to shipbuilders, shipowners, and design agents for use in the preparation of piping system material schedules for commercial ship design and construction.
1.2 The materials and limitations listed in Tables 1-28 meet the minimum requirements of the U.S. Coast Guard and the American Bureau of Shipping and, except for titanium, should be considered to be the minimum acceptable materials in regard to material, design, and testing. This document is not intended to limit the selection of material strictly to those listed. Other equal or superior materials may be used provided that they are acceptable to the regulatory bodies and classification societies.
Note 1: Titanium has been added as its use in fresh and sea water systems is becoming more common.
1.3 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
ASTM F1155-10(2019), Standard Practice for Selection and Application of Piping System Materials, provides comprehensive guidelines for selecting and applying materials in shipboard piping systems. Developed by ASTM Committee F25 on Ships and Marine Technology, this standard supports shipbuilders, shipowners, and design agents during the commercial ship design and construction process. ASTM F1155 identifies minimum material requirements, design criteria, and testing considerations, consistent with regulations by the U.S. Coast Guard and the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS).
The document is internationally recognized and aligns with principles under the World Trade Organization's Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee, promoting global interoperability and compliance in maritime construction.
Key Topics
- Minimum Material Requirements: Specifies minimum acceptable materials for different piping applications, meeting or exceeding Coast Guard and ABS rules.
- Material Selection Flexibility: While tables list recommended materials, the standard is not restrictive-superior materials may be used with regulatory approval.
- Expanded Material Options: Recognizes the increasing use of titanium and composite materials (e.g., fiberglass-reinforced plastics) for their corrosion resistance in marine environments.
- Comprehensive Material Tables: Detailed tables specify material options, limitations, and maximum temperature or pressure ratings for all major ship piping systems, including cargo, fuel, steam, exhaust, seawater, and domestic systems.
- Referenced Industry Standards: Links with major ASTM, ASME, MSS, and other specifications, covering pipe, fittings, flanges, valves, and joint types.
- Regulatory Alignment: Ensures compatibility with 46 CFR (Code of Federal Regulations), ABS vessel rules, and navigational circulars, embedding safety and performance requirements.
Applications
ASTM F1155-10(2019) is essential for the following practical applications:
- Commercial Vessel Design: Used by naval architects and marine engineers to develop piping schedules that ensure regulatory compliance from the earliest design phase.
- Material Procurement: Supports procurement specialists in selecting compliant materials and components-reducing risk of rework or inspection failure.
- Shipbuilding and Installation: Guides contractors and shipyards during the installation of piping systems across new builds and retrofits, ensuring material compatibility and long-term system integrity.
- Regulatory Compliance: Assures owners and operators that ships meet minimum statutory and classification society requirements, facilitating inspection and certification approval.
- Maintenance and Upgrades: Assists maintenance teams in choosing suitable replacement materials for repairs or system upgrades, benefiting safety and operational reliability.
- Innovation Integration: Allows adoption of new, high-performance materials (like titanium or advanced composites), provided regulatory consent is obtained.
Related Standards
ASTM F1155-10(2019) references and complements numerous key standards in the marine and piping industry, including:
- ASTM Standards: A53, A106, A182, A216, A234, A307, A395, B61, B381, D2996, D4024, among others, covering steel, copper, titanium, and fiberglass piping and fittings.
- ASME Standards: Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (Sections I and VIII), B16.5 (Pipe Flanges), B31.1 (Power Piping), B36.10 (Welded/Seamless Steel Pipe).
- MSS Standards: SP-43, SP-44, SP-67, SP-80, SP-83, SP-119, addressing pipeline fittings and valves.
- Government and Classification: U.S. Coast Guard 46 CFR, ABS Rules for Building and Classing Steel Vessels, relevant NVIC guidelines for composite piping.
For those involved in shipbuilding, marine engineering, or regulatory compliance, ASTM F1155-10(2019) provides a reliable framework for the selection and application of piping system materials, streamlining project execution and ensuring adherence to both safety and performance standards.
