ASTM A53 steel pipe type and grade
The ASTM A53 specification covers the types of fabrication of welded and seamless steel tubes with black carbon steel material. Hot dipped galvanized steel tubes, black, welded and seamless. The diameters range from NPS 1?8 to NPS 26 (10.3 mm to 660 mm) of nominal wall thickness. The ASTM A106 standard specification covers the seamless carbon steel tube, applied for high temperature services. Different types and grades for both standards Types and grades of ASTM A53 steel pipes For ASTM A53 there are ERW and seamless steel tubes Type F, E, S covering Grades A and B. A53 Type F, butt welding in furnace, continuous welding Grade A A53 Type E, electric resistance welding (ERW), in Grade A and Grade B. A53 Type S, seamless steel pipe, in Grade A and Grade B. If the steel raw material of different grades is in continuous casting process, the result of the transition material will be identified and the manufacturer should eliminate the transition material wi...
