ASTM A795 ERW (Electric Resistance Welded) steel pipe is specifically designed for fire protection systems. This standard, established by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), covers black and hot-dipped zinc-coated (galvanized) welded and seamless steel pipes for fire protection use. Here is a detailed look at the ASTM A795 ERW steel pipe.

Applications of ASTM A795 ERW Steel Pipe:
- Fire Sprinkler Systems: These pipes are commonly used in sprinkler systems for commercial, industrial, residential, and public buildings due to their ability to withstand the thermal and mechanical stress associated with fire conditions.
- Standpipe Systems: ASTM A795 pipes are also suitable for standpipe systems, which require pipes that can deliver water to hose connections, primarily for fire department use and building occupants during a fire.
