ASTM F821/F821M-01(2012)

Standard Specification for Domestic Use Doors and Frames, Steel, Interior, Marine

ABSTRACT
This specification covers the design and dimensional requirements for the construction of standard and custom-built interior steel doors and frames intended for use in staterooms, lavatories, passageways, and other weather-protected areas of ships, including U.S. Coast Guard certificated vessels, with domestic routes. The doors and frames are to be of hollow metal construction with the door insulated for sound or fire. The doors and frames shall conform to the specified dimensional and construction procedures established for each class and type, which shall be indicated in the ordering information.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers the construction of standard and custom-built interior steel doors and frames for ships including U.S. Coast Guard certificated vessels with domestic routes.  
1.2 Doors and frames are to be hollow metal construction with the door insulated for sound or fire.  
1.3 The doors are intended for use in staterooms, lavatories, passageways, and other areas protected from weather.  
1.4 The values stated in either inch-pound units or SI units are to be regarded separately as standard. Within the text, the SI units are shown in brackets. The values stated in each system are not exact equivalents; therefore, each system must be used independently of the other.
