ASTM A500 SSAW steel pipe sizes

ASTM A500 typically refers to cold-formed welded carbon steel pipe used for structural applications. However, SSAW (Spiral Submerged Arc Welded) pipes, which are made using a different manufacturing process, are typically not categorized under ASTM A500. Instead, SSAW pipes are usually covered by specifications like ASTM A53 or ASTM A252, depending on their application.

That said, if you're looking for the general size range of SSAW steel pipes, here are the typical dimensions:

Common Sizes for SSAW Steel Pipes:

- Outer Diameter (OD):

Typically ranges from 219.1 mm (8 inches) to 2,500 mm (98 inches), though some manufacturers can produce larger sizes.

- Wall Thickness:

Usually ranges from 4 mm to 25 mm, but this can vary depending on the specific application and customer requirements.

- Length:

Standard lengths are often 6 meters (approximately 20 feet) or 12 meters (approximately 40 feet), though custom lengths can be made based on requirements.

Other Dimensions to Consider:

- Pipe Grade:

ASTM A252 (Grades 1, 2, 3), which is commonly used for structural applications such as piling.

Material Strength:

Minimum yield strength: 35,000 psi (240 MPa) for Grade 1

Minimum yield strength: 42,000 psi (290 MPa) for Grade 2

Minimum yield strength: 50,000 psi (345 MPa) for Grade 3

SSAW pipes are generally used in large-diameter applications, such as:

Water and Gas Transmission Pipelines

Structural Piling
