Description

ASTM A53 pipe covers Seamless and Welded, cangzhou wilson pipeline  sales@wilsonpipeline.com Black and Hot-Dipped Galvanized nominal (average) wall pipe for coiling, bending, flanging and other special purposes and is suitable for welding. Continuous-Welded pipe is not intended for flanging. Purpose for which pipe is intended should be stated on order.

Materials and Manufacture

The steel for both seamless and welded pipe shall be made by one or more of the following processes: open-hearth, electric furnace, or basic-oxygen. The weld seam of electric-resistance welded pipe in Grade B shall be heat treated after welding.

Permissible Variations in Wall Thickness

The minimum wall thickness at any point shall not be more than 12.5% under the nominal wall thickness specified.


Permissible Variations in Weights per Foot

Plus or minus 10%


Permissible Variations in Outside Diameter

Outside Diameter at any point shall not vary from standard specified more than:

For NPS 1 1/2 and Smaller Sizes   For NPS 2 and Larger Sizes
1/64″ 1/32″ under 1% over 1%under
