Comparative International Boiler Tubing Specifications

Use this table only to find an approximate equivalent, then compare the details of the specifications to determine if substitution is permissible. In general, the Japanese (JIS) specs match up pretty well with the American(ASME/ASTM), while the British (BS) and German specs are usually more difficult to find an equivalent in.
