ASTM A 53/A 53M Document Information:
Title
Standard Specification for Pipe, Steel, Black and Hot-Dipped, Zinc-Coated, Welded and Seamless
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Sep 1, 2007
Scope:
This specification2 covers seamless and welded black
and hot-dipped galvanized steel pipe in NPS 1/8 to NPS 26 [DN 6 to
DN 650] (Note 1), inclusive, with nominal wall thickness (Note 2)
as given in Table X2.2 and Table X2.3. It shall be permissible to
furnish pipe having other dimensions provided that such pipe
complies with all other requirements of this specification.
Supplementary requirements of an optional nature are provided and
shall apply only when specified by the purchaser.
NOTE 1—The dimensionless designators NPS (nominal pipe size) [DN
(diameter nominal)] have been substituted in this specification for
such traditional terms as "nominal diameter," "size," and "nominal
size".
NOTE 2—The term nominal wall thickness has been assigned for the
purpose of convenient designation, existing in name only, and is
used to distinguish it from the actual wall thickness, which may
vary over or under the nominal wall thickness.
This specification covers the following types and grades:
Type F—Furnace-butt-welded, continuous welded Grade
A,
Type E—Electric-resistance-welded, Grades A and B,
and
Type S—Seamless, Grades A and B.
NOTE 3—See Appendix X1 for definitions of types of pipe.
Pipe ordered under this specification is intended for mechanical
and pressure applications and is also acceptable for ordinary uses
in steam, water, gas, and air lines. It is suitable for welding,
and suitable for forming operations involving coiling, bending, and
flanging, subject to the following qualifications:
Type F is not intended for flanging.
If Type S or Type E is required for close coiling or cold
bending, Grade A is the preferred grade; however, this is not
intended to prohibit the cold bending of Grade B pipe.
Type E is furnished either nonexpanded or cold expanded at the
option of the manufacturer.
The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to
be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each
system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system is to
be used independently of the other.
The following precautionary caveat pertains only to the test
method portion, Sections 7, 8, 9, 13, 14, and 15 of this
specification: This standard does not purport to address all of
the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the
responsibility of the user of this standard to establish
appropriate safety and health practices and determine the
applicability of regulatory requirements prior to use.
The text of this specification contains notes or footnotes, or
both, that provide explanatory material. Such notes and footnotes,
excluding those in tables and figures, do not contain any mandatory
requirements.
*A Summary of Changes section appears at the end of this
standard.
