Mechanical Properties:

ASTM A53 seamless steel pipes also adhere to strict mechanical property standards:

Property

Grade A

Grade B

Tensile Strength (min)

48,000 psi (330 MPa)

60,000 psi (415 MPa)

Yield Strength (min)

30,000 psi (205 MPa)

35,000 psi (240 MPa)

Elongation (min)

Varies by size

Varies by size

 

The elongation percentage varies depending on the pipe diameter and wall thickness. These properties ensure the pipes' ability to withstand pressure and mechanical stress in various applications.
