ASTM A519 - Standard Specification for Seamless Carbon and Alloy Steel Pipe for Mechanical Engineering.
What is ASTM A519 Seamless Mechanical Tube?
ASTM A519
Seamless Mechanical Tube is a standard developed by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) and is primarily used to regulate the manufacture and use of seamless carbon and alloy steel mechanical tubes. In China, the corresponding national standard is GB/T 8162, which is the "Seamless Steel Pipe for Structural Use" standard issued by the China National Standardization Administration Committee and is applicable to the production and inspection of seamless steel pipes for general structural use.
ASTM A519 seamless steel pipe is mainly used in the fields of mechanical engineering and automobile manufacturing. Its standard includes requirements for the chemical composition, mechanical properties, dimensions, allowable deviations, inspection methods, etc. of the pipe. This seamless steel pipe has high precision and excellent mechanical properties, making it widely used in many industrial applications.
ASTM A519 Mechanical Tube Manufacturers and Suppliers
The ASTM A519 mechanical tubes provided by
Hunan Standard Steel Co., Ltd are manufactured in accordance with the ASTM A519 standard mechanical
seamless carbon steel pipes and alloy steel pipes, and are mainly used for high temperature applications. Husteel manufactures these ASTM A519 Mechanical Pipes, including alloy pipes in various size ranges. Additionally, Husteel can be customized to suit
boiler tube requirements. To ensure optimum quality standards, we procure these alloy steel raw materials from premium vendors.
ASTM A519 Standard Specification for Seamless Carbon and Alloy Steel Mechanical Tubing covers many grades of carbon and alloy steel mechanical tubing, whether hot-finished or cold-finished. The steel used in mechanical tubing can be cast as ingots or flow cast. When different grades of steel are continuously cast, the resulting transition material needs to be qualified.
Seamless pipe is a weldless forged steel pipe made of hot-processed steel. It is a steel pipe of standard size after pressing, stretching, heat treatment and other processes. and, if necessary, by subsequent cold finishing of the hot-worked tubular product to produce the desired shape, size and properties. Seamless pipes can be made into shapes such as round, square, rectangular and special cross-sections. Thermal analysis is used to determine the percentage of specified elements, and when specified, steel pipes should be coated with an oil film before forming to prevent rust.
ASTM A519 Mechanical Tube includes seamless hot-finished mechanical tubing and seamless cold-finished mechanical tubing in sizes up to and including 12 3/4 in. (323.8 mm) outside diameter for round tubes with wall thickness as required.
