If you review the referenced ASTM specification, you will find there are limited chemical composition requirements but no reference to a particular grade of material with which to manufacture the fittings. The OP actually posed a good question related to starting material to manufacture fittings.
As I stated, a good starting material is API 5L Grade X60, which meets A 860 chemical composition and strength requirements to manufacture fittings. There are others starting materials as well.

Depends on how the material responds to the mandated heat treatment. Starting with a TMCP pipe and then heat treating it might lead to grief.

Thankyou all. API 5l Gr X60 seems to be the best option.
