DIN Numbers and Steel

>Good morning,

Can someone point me to where I can find the DIN Numbers for Steel in English? I need to educate myself on this and I can only find it in German, Czech, etc.

Thanks.

>Hi Vlad -

What you're looking for is the ASTM data.... DIN is for the drug industry...

Try www.astm.com ....

ps. DIN is more general than just the drug industry. In Germany the acronymn stands for something like "Deutch Industry Normals". I work with a number of DIN standards, some of which take pedantic points to ridiculous lengths...very German.

>In the US, one generally uses AISI designations for steel.

There are DIN (Deutsches Institut f�r Normung) equivalents.

>Thanks GolfSteve and fellas. This helps.

DIN is only applicable to CDN marketed products. NDC is for US products. Don't get me started on INDs, CTAs, GMPs or NCRs....
