Astm A53

ASTM A53 is a carbon steel alloy specification set by ASTM International for structural steel pipe. It comes in three types - furnace butt welded (Type F), electric resistance welded (Type E), and seamless (Type S) - and two grades (A and B). Grade B has a minimum tensile yield strength of 240 MPa and ultimate strength of 415 MPa, making it suitable for structural or pressure applications.

ASTM A53 1

ASTM A53
ASTM A53 is a carbon steel alloy, used for structural steel pipe. The alloy specifications are set by ASTM
International, in specification ASTM A53/A53M[1] . A53 pipe is suitable for structural or pressure applications.
A53 pipe comes in three types and two grades, A53 Type F, which is longitudinally furnace butt welded or
continuous welded (Grade A only), A53 Type E, which is longitudinally electric resistance welded (Grades A and
B), and A53 Type S, which is seamless pipe, produced by hot working, and possibly cold finishing, the steel (Grades
A and B).
This is a standard set by the standards organization ASTM International, a voluntary standards development
organizations that sets technical standards for materials, products, systems, and services.

Specifications
As with other steels, A53 has a specific gravity of approximately 7.85, and therefore a density of approximately
7850 kg/m3.
A53 pipe comes in two grades, A and B. Grade A is not commonly used for structural applications.
A53 Grade A has a minimum tensile yield strength of 205 MPa (30 ksi), and minimum tensile ultimate strength of
330 MPa (48 ksi). A53 Grade B has a minimum tensile yield strength of 240 MPa (35 ksi), and minimum tensile
ultimate strength of 415 MPa (60 ksi).
