U.S.F. Standard

[swearingen]

Anyone heard of this? It is on a drawing for an equipment skid and the notation is:


Fabricated per U.S.F. standards A-36 steel




If you "heard" it on the internet, it's guilty until proven innocent. - DCS

As you probably know (?) "A36 is a American Society for Testing Materials (ASTM)for steel with a 36,000 psi yield strength. What U.S.F. is, I have no idea.

good luck

University of San Francisco (USF) standards:

You are probably looking at some foreign stuff with labelling not precisely translated.

Kenvlach,

What on earth does the USF Law Library have to do with specifications for an equipment skid ?

If the translation, if it is one, is faulty what do you think it should have been ?

RWF7437,
In answer to your questions,
1) No connection. But I knew those USF initials, did a Google search & didn't find anything else likely.

2) I think it's just a foreigner's way of saying fabricated per the (US) ASTM A36 structural steel standard.
