Bull Moose Tube manager assists in development of new ASTM standards

St. Louis-based Bull Moose Tube Co., a manufacturer of steel pipe and tube, has announced ASTM Intl.’s numeric designation for new standards for steel structural tubes. The ASTM A1112-18 standard covers cold-formed-welded, high-strength carbon steel, as well as low-alloy steel hollow structural sections.

For more than a year, Manager of Field Applications Mark Abernathy assisted ASTM in the development of these standards by serving as a member of its committee on steel, stainless steel, and related alloys. According to Abernathy, the new standards will have a tremendous impact on the construction industry – particularly as it relates to the use of new alloys in the construction of buildings, bridges, and other structures.
