Standard Specification for Tables, Mess, Marine, Steel
ABSTRACT
This specification covers the construction of round, square, and rectangular marine mess tables with or without adjustable lee rails for use in crew, officer, and passenger dining areas aboard ship. These tables are classified into three types. Type I shall be a round mess table with a single pedestal, Type II is a square mess table with a single pedestal and Type III is a rectangular mess table. Type III table may be designated according to the number of pedestals it contains: Grade 1 with single pedestal and Grade 2 with two pedestals. These tables can also be designated into two classes: Class 1 has fixed lee rails and Class 2 has adjustable lee rails. Table tops shall be steel construction with a decorative melamine laminate top cover. Other materials or components of the table shall include lee rails, edge binders, pedestals, and support plate. Joining of metal components shall be done by welding or gluing with a structural adhesive. Tops for mess tables shall be capable of supporting a load of a certain kilogram uniformly distributed over an area of determined and placed at any location on the top. Load shall remain on top for a certain minimum time, and there shall be no indication of permanent set after removal of load.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers the construction of round, square, and rectangular marine mess tables with or without adjustable lee rails for use in crew, officer, and passenger dining areas aboard ship.
1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.
1.3 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.

Overview
ASTM F824-22 is the Standard Specification for Tables, Mess, Marine, Steel developed by ASTM International. This specification establishes requirements for the construction of marine mess tables designed for use in crew, officer, and passenger dining areas aboard ships. The scope includes round, square, and rectangular tables, with options for adjustable or fixed lee rails. The standard ensures these marine tables are robust, safe, and suitable for demanding maritime environments by specifying materials, construction methods, and performance criteria.
Key Topics
- Table Classification and Types:
- Type I: Round mess table with a single pedestal
- Type II: Square mess table with a single pedestal
- Type III: Rectangular mess table, available as Grade 1 (single pedestal) or Grade 2 (two pedestals)
- Class Designation:
- Class 1: Fixed lee rails
- Class 2: Adjustable lee rails
- Materials:
- Steel construction for durability and strength
- Decorative melamine laminate as table top covering
- Use of anodized aluminum alloy and stainless steel for lee rails and edge binders
- Manufacturing and Assembly:
- Welding or structural adhesive for metal component joining
- Commercial quality workmanship following marine industry best practices
- Surface finish requirements for corrosion prevention (standard baked enamel unless otherwise specified)
- Load and Performance:
- Table tops must support a substantial uniformly distributed load with no permanent deformation
- Proper fit, finish, and removal of sharp edges to prevent injury
Applications
ASTM F824-22 compliant marine mess tables are essential for:
- Crew and Officer Mess Rooms: Providing robust, stable, and safe dining surfaces in demanding shipboard environments.
- Passenger Areas: Delivering consistent quality and finish suitable for public dining spaces on marine vessels, including ferries and cruise ships.
- Shipbuilding and Outfitting Projects: Ensuring standardized furnishings for new builds and retrofits that match industry and regulatory expectations.
- Maritime Procurement: Allowing ship owners, operators, and procurement professionals to specify durable, tested marine furniture for long service life in harsh environments.
Related Standards
The following standards are closely related and may be referenced when implementing ASTM F824-22:
- ASTM A53/A53M: Specification for Pipe, Steel, Black and Hot-Dipped, Zinc-Coated, Welded and Seamless
- ASTM A240/A240M: Specification for Stainless and Heat-Resisting Chromium-Nickel Steel Plate, Sheet, and Strip

Practical Value
Implementing ASTM F824-22 improves safety, durability, and performance in shipboard dining facilities. Marine mess tables built to this standard resist corrosion, meet strict load and performance criteria, and help ensure a safe, comfortable dining environment for crew and passengers. By referencing this specification, shipbuilders and owners benefit from reliable procurement, simplified maintenance, and the assurance of regulatory compliance.
