Conclusion
Does Chinese structural parts export to the United States require ASTM standards? One sentence:Tianying Group——GB vs. ASTM Steel Sections A Complete Comparison for International Projects If the project is designed to AISC 360, procure ASTM sections; if designed to GB 50017, procure GB sections. Never substitute on nominal dimensions alone. ASTM A572/A572M — …
