Brief Explanation |
| A-179 |
This specification covers minimum-wall-thickness, seamless cold-drawn low-carbon steel tubes for tubular heat exchangers, condensers, and similar heat transfer apparatus. This specification covers tubes 1/8 to 3 in. [3.2 to 76.2 mm], inclusive, in outside diameter. |
| A-214 |
This specification covers minimum-wall-thickness, electric-resistance-welded,carbon steel tubes to be used for heat exchangers, condensers, and similar heat-transfer apparatus. Covers tubes 1/2 in. to 5 in. O.D. and 0.035 in. to 0.320 in. minimum wall thickness. |
| A-500 |
This specification covers cold-formed welded and seamless carbon steel round, square, rectangular, or special shape structural tubing for welded,riveted, or bolted construction of bridges and buildings, and for general structural purposes. |
| A-513 |
This specification covers electric resistance welded carbon and alloy steel tubing for use as mechanical tubing. This specification covers mechanical tubing made from hot or cold rolled steel. This specification covers round, square, rectangular, and special shape tubing. |
| A-519 |
This specification covers several grades of carbon and alloy steel seamless mechanical tubing. When welding is used for joining the weldable mechanical tube grades, the welding procedure shall be suitable for the grade, the condition of the components, and the intended service. |
