The ASTM A513 specification covers electric resistance welded carbon steel tubing for use as mechanical tubing. This standard outlines the requirements for mechanical properties, chemical composition, manufacturing methods, and dimensional tolerances of carbon steel tubes used for various industries and applications.
ASTM A513 carbon tubing is manufactured from hot-rolled or cold-rolled steel, depending on the desired finished product. The tubing is produced by electric resistance welding (ERW) process, which involves the use of electricity to join the edges of the steel strip together. This welding method ensures a strong and continuous bond, resulting in reliable and durable mechanical tubing.
The standard specification for ASTM A513 covers various grades of carbon steel tubing with different wall thicknesses, diameters, and dimensional tolerances. These specifications ensure that the tubes meet the required mechanical properties and dimensional accuracy for their intended applications.
