Historical ASTM A 313

[spedly]

Hello,
Can anyone please direct me to where I may purchase historical versions of ASTM specifications? In particular I need the ASTM A313 standard which was in effect in 1980.

Regards

Yes, you check with ASTM directly.

Maybe not so easy; I believe ASTM &

http://www.techstreet.com

only go back one edition, to 1998 in this case. For ASTM A313, a partial listing of versions by year:

2003
1998
?
1992
1987
1981
?
1947

So, you need the version superceded by the 1981 version.
A limited search found that Document Engineering

& Global

http://global.ihs.com

both sell the 1992 version, but nothing earlier.

Anyone whose company has an extensive library?

Document Center, Inc. lists ASTM A313 versions back to 1981 at

"Contact for QUOTE."

If you really, really need the 1980 version, order a reprinted Annual Book of Astm Standards 1980. P3 Steel Plate Sheet Strip and Wire; Metallic coated Products; Fences. (from microfilm) for $240:

But delivery time is listed as 6-8 weeks, so may cost $$$ to expedite.

The IHS online subscription service goes back to A 313-81e1.

Here's their individual document purchase page

but I don't immediately see how to get a historical document.
