ASTM A53 carbon steel pipe applications

ASTM A53 Standard is the most common standard for carbon steel pipe, no matter for seamless carbon pipes and tubes or welded steel pipes, bare pipes and zinc coated pipes. It’s widely applied in many industries, like water, common piling, or construction applications.

Black and Hot-Dipped Galvanized nominal (average) wall pipe for coiling, bending, flagging, and other special purposes and is suitable for welding. The continuous-Welded pipe is not intended for flanging. Each length of pipe shall be subjected to the hydrostatic test. Also, each pipe shall be examined by a non-destructive examination method in accordance with the required practices. Our company has had rich experience with carbon seamless pipes for many years and we had a strict inspection for each program.
