ASTM steel pipe is carbon steel pipe that has been created by ASTM and meets certain performance requirements. Manufacturers follow ASTM standard voluntarily.
ASTM International is an organization that publishes documents and develops standards on a wide variety of materials and processes.
ASTM grades
steel according to alloy, stainless steel or carbon. It tests steel’s properties, hardness, resistance to corrosion, pitting, heat treating processes and others.The results are listed in a main ASTM steel grade for steel pipe as below.
ASTM A106 covers carbon steel pipe for high-temperature service.ASTM A335 covers seamless ferritic alloy-steel pipe for high-temperature service.ASTM A333 covers wall seamless and welded steel pipe intended for use at low temperatures.ASTM A312 specification for seamless, straight-seam welded, and cold worked welded austenitic coating steel pipe intended for high-temperature and general corrosive service.Steel Materials according to ASTM standard.
Difference of PSL1 and PSL2(API 5L)
The API 5L has two standards, PSL1 and PSL2, which are very different from each other. I'll talk more about the differences between PSL1 and PSL2.
Production Process of Pipe Fitting
There are many kinds of processing methods for pipe fittings.
The Future of Steel Pipe Development
The future of steel pipe development is looking promising, according to expert analysis and data. The price of carbon steel pipe is predicted to bounce back this year, with China leading the way in increasing steel consumption demands. This is due to a series of government initiatives aimed at stimulating domestic demand, including the construction of affordable housing and infrastructure projects. The demand for structural steel pipe is also on the rise, thanks to state investment in housing and engineering projects. With private investment projects also gaining popularity, the steel pipe market is set to thrive in 2017.
