Ben,

I posted my question thru that link you mentioned. I am not sure if that is the place to approach ASME code committee. I will forward the answer, if i ever receive one.

However, as of today as per my all colleagues (Including me) who are in piping field, did not find any such explanation anywhere in ASME/ASTM codes.

Umesh,

>Is it on all ASTM specs or any particular one you could highlight?

I do not have any of the ASTM specs, but do remember seeing and deducting from context a few. You can ask your question to ASTM tech support online at

Wonderfull, Is it on all ASTM specs or any perticuler one you could highlight?

If such thing exist, i would like to withdraw my previous posting on "WP"

This is too simple. The words "tubular products" and "wrought products" are shown in titles or in the introductory text of ASTM specs for pipes/tubes and fittings. Thus, "TP312" and "WP312". Short descriptions used in specs, drawings, bills of material, etc. "Wrought Products" are made from many forms of material: bar, plate, sheet, rod, , (oh, what else?) .

That's two different answers out of two responses. I wonder if anyone really knows.
