What is ASTM steel pipe?
ASTM steel pipe refers to steel pipe produced according to the standards set by the American Society for Testing and Materials. ASTM is an international standards organization whose standards cover a wide range of materials, products, systems and services.
The main features of ASTM steel pipe include:
1. Quality and consistency: ASTM standards ensure that steel pipes are consistent and high quality in terms of chemical composition, mechanical properties and dimensional tolerances.
2. Wide application: ASTM steel pipes are widely used in many industries such as oil, gas, construction, and machinery manufacturing.
3. Various types: According to different uses and performance requirements, ASTM standards cover a variety of types of steel pipes, including Seamless Pipe, Welded Pipe, and Spiral Welded Pipe.
Common ASTM steel pipe standards are:
ASTM A106: Seamless carbon steel pipes for high temperatures.
ASTM A53: Black and hot-dip galvanized seamless and welded steel pipes for general use.
ASTM A252: Welded and seamless steel pipes for piles.
ASTM A333: Seamless and welded steel pipes for low temperature environments.
ASTM A335: Seamless ferritic alloy steel pipe for use in high temperature environments.
These standards specify the chemical composition, mechanical properties, manufacturing processes, and testing methods of steel pipes to ensure their performance and reliability in specific applications.
