ASTM A179 Carbon Steel Pipe Specification

2. Seamless API 5CT Casing Pipe - Tianjin United Steel Pipe

ASTM A179/A179M

ASTM A179/A179M (ASME SA179) pipes are designed with seamless cold-drawn low-carbon steel tubes. It is mainly used in tubular heat exchangers, condensers, and other heat transfer equipment.

Required inspections and tests: hardness, flattening, flaring, flange, and hydrostatic tests.

The manufacturing process is seamless, and the tubes are cold-drawn to provide unmatched strength and longevity.

We analyze heat and products thoroughly. This ensures our pipes meet the needed chemical compositions. These include carbon, manganese, phosphorus, and sulfur.
