Comparison of SA179 and SA106
SA179 and SA106 differ in four areas:
1.Objective and scope: SA179, the full name is“The regulation of industrial product production license management”, aims at strengthening the management of industrial product production license, ensuring the quality of industrial products, and promoting the overall competitiveness of our industrial products. SA106 is a standard developed by ASTM (American Society for Materials and tests) , which is used to regulate the manufacture of carbon steel pipe, especially for seamless carbon steel pipe used in high temperature, low temperature or impact test environment.
2.Application: SA106 standard is mainly used in petroleum, natural gas, chemical, electric power and other fields, used in high and low temperature conditions for the transfer of liquid or gas.
3. Standard Requirements: the SA106 standard requires piping materials to meet a range of chemical composition, mechanical properties and processing characteristics to ensure their reliability and safety under specific operating conditions. At the same time, the standard also stipulates the detection, testing and marking requirements in the manufacturing process, in order to monitor and verify the quality of pipelines.
4. Implementation Agency: SA179 is issued and implemented by the State Administration of Market Supervision and administration in the 2021. In general, there are differences between the two in terms of objectives, scope, application areas, and specific requirements.
Implementation Agency: SA179 is issued and implemented by the State Administration of Market Supervision and administration in the 2021. The regulation mainly aims at the management of industrial product production license, aiming at guaranteeing the quality of industrial products and promoting the overall competitiveness of our industrial products. In the process of implementation, the State Administration of Market Supervision and administration is responsible for formulating and interpreting relevant policies, and supervising the process of application, examination and issuance of production licenses. At the same time, the provincial-level market supervision and administration departments shall be responsible for the acceptance, examination, issuance, supervision and administration of industrial product production licenses within their respective administrative areas.
SA106 is the American ASTM standard, mainly used in petroleum, natural gas, chemical industry, electric power and other fields. In the process of implementation, ASTM is responsible for the development and interpretation of relevant standards, and the production of carbon steel pipe, testing, monitoring and other processes. At the same time, the relevant industry associations and production enterprises will also refer to SA106 standard for carbon steel pipe production and quality control. In summary, SA179 and SA106 are different in terms of purpose, scope, application area, and implementing agency. In the choice of use, need to be based on specific circumstances and needs to select and use.
5. Future Development: SA179 and SA106 in the future development may also be different. SA179 may be further improved and strengthened to better guarantee the quality and safety of industrial products with the increasing demand of the domestic market for industrial products. At the same time, with the development and application of science and technology, the management of industrial production license may introduce more intelligent and digital means to improve the efficiency and accuracy of management.
As the standard of ASTM, SA106 will be revised and perfected with the development of technology and the change of market demand. For example, as environmental requirements increase, the environmental performance of carbon steel pipes may become more demanding, and as application scenarios such as high-temperature, low-temperature or impact testing expand, more stringent requirements may be placed on the performance of carbon steel tubes. In short, SA179 and SA106 will face new challenges and opportunities in the future development. In the application process, we need to constantly pay attention to the development of relevant policies and technologies, in order to adjust and improve timely.
