This specification covers carbon steel sheet piling of structural quality for use in the construction of dock walls, sea walls, cofferdams, excavations, and like applications. When the steel is to be welded, it is presupposed that a welding procedure suitable for the grade of steel and intended use or service will be utilized.

This specification is applicable to orders in either SI units (as M 202M) or inch-pound units (as M 202). SI units and inch-pound units are not necessarily equivalent. Inch-pound units are shown in brackets in the text for clarity, but they are the applicable values when the material is ordered to M 202.

For structural products cut from coiled product and furnished without heat treatment or with stress relieving only, the additional requirements of ASTM A6/A6M, including additional testing requirements and reporting of additional tests, apply.
