Some manufacturer's from round bar declares on the relating certificate that material is according to ASTM A182 (and also A276 / A479). In my opinion the Standard ASTM A182 is only applicable for Pipe Flanges, Forged Fittiings, Valves and Parts, not for round bar.(ASTM A182 - Scope - par 1.2)
Am i right?
Note: some manufacturer declare that only the chemical analysis and mechanical values are acc to ASTM A182, this is correct and true.

Therefore products for use in boilers and pressure vessels made from round bar, may not be marked with "A182", but with "A479".
Am i right?

Thank you for your reply.
 
Round bar is frequently found acc. A182. See e.g. para 7.5.
