ASTM A500 (ASME SA500) Pipe

a500 steel pipe is an economical, structural grade electric resistance welded pipe created from rolling a plate and welding it longitudinally to become a smooth pipe with a finished seam. erw pipes are commonly used in low or medium pressure applications, such as transporting oil or water. a500 is a cold formed carbon steel that is north america’s most commonly specified hollow structural section (hss).

the tolerances of a500 are tighter than those of a53, therefore the a500 round pipe hss has more quality and less variability than a53. round hss pipe has a superior surface finish and does not come with a lacquer coating. a500b structural pipe is manufactured for use in applications that demand greater strength, closer tolerances, and a superior finish. this product is an excellent choice for painted applications.

specifications:

od :10.3-820 mm

wall thickness: 0.8 to 75 mm

length: 6m

in addition, based on customer requirements, which can supply other grades and specifications of steel pipe.

a500 carbon steel material component properties

a500 carbon steel structural tubing is only manufactured from materials that match the criteria for carbon steel. the chemical composition for a500 is mostly iron with added carbon, manganese, phosphorus, sulfur, and copper. check out the chart below for exact a500 carbon steel chemical specifications.

a500 carbon steel mechanical properties

tensile strength refers to the amount of stretching stress a material can withstand before breaking or failing. the ultimate tensile strength of a500 carbon steel is calculated by dividing the area of the steel by the stress placed on it, which is expressed in terms of pounds or tons per square inch of material. tensile strength is an important measure of a500’s ability to perform in an application. a500 carbon steel’s tensile strength is described in the chart below.
