ASTM A179 Cold Drawn Carbon Steel Pipe

Cold Drawn Seamless Carbon Steel Tube ASTM A179

Cold Drawn Tube ASTM A179

Because of ASTM A179 grade’s temperature withstanding capabilities, it is applied to steel pipe of tubular heat exchanger, condensers and similar heat transfer equipment. Our ASTM A179 seamless tubes are used in sugar mills & distilleries, pumps and petrochemicals, cement and construction industries and steel plants. Sunny Steel can supply ASTM A179 steel tube from stock or from reputed steel mills. We also offer steel fabrication service where steel plates can go through processings like cutting, welding, bending, machining, pre-coating, pre-lined, beveling, or as you require.

This specification covers minimum-wall thickness, seamless cold-drawn low-carbon steel tubes for tubular heat exchangers, condensers, and similar heat transfer apparatus. Tubes shall be made by the seamless process and shall be cold drawn. Heat and product analysis shall be performed wherein steel materials shall conform to required chemical compositions of carbon, manganese, phosphorus, and sulfur. The steel materials shall also undergo hardness test, flattening test, flaring test, flange test, and hydrostatic test.

Note:

Mill test certificates will be issued according to EN10204.3
All tubes shall be supplied as per applicable ASTM Specification.
The tubes Shall be Seamless and the testing shall be as per A 450 / A450M.

Tech & Service of Seamless pipe

Seamless pipes are extensively applied for the nuclear device, gas, petrochemical, ship building and boiler industries. Seamless pipes dominates 65% of market share in Chinese boiler industry.

How to make seamless pipe(seamless pipe process)?

Piercing process
The cross roll piercing and pilger rolling process in the size range from approx. 250 to 660 mm outside diameter.

Precision cold drawn steel tube production process

Pipe weld cracks
often follow different mechanisms can be divided into two types of thermal cracking and cold cracking.

How to calculate a steel pipe and tube theoretic weight

Calculate a steel pipe?
Pipe fittings are necessary to join together pipes, or to change the direction of an existing pipe.

Pipe beveling
Pipe beveling is the process where an angle is formed between the edge of the end of a pipe or tube and a plane perpendicular to the surface.

Pipe cutting
Cutting tools have a grinding wheel piece cutting machine (also known as toothless saw), hand saw, cutter and other hand tools.

Packing the steel pipes
There are probably hundreds of different methods for packing a pipe, and most of them have merit, but there are two principles that are vital for any method.
