What is A512?

ASTM A512 Mechanical Steel Tube ASTM A512 covers cold-drawn buttweld carbon steel tubes for use as mechanical purpose.

What is A512 steel?

This ASTM specification covers cold drawn, butt welded tube for mechanical applications. The steel involved is similar to AISI series of steels from 1010 through to 1117 steel. Applications. Used for general purpose mechanical applications – not for pressurized applications. Machinability.

What is A519 tubing?

ASTM A519 covers several grades of carbon and alloy steel seamless mechanical tubing. It is manufactured by hot working and then cold finishing the steel into round, square, rectangle or special shapes.

What is the difference between A513 and a519?

Due to the extra cold working at the steel mills, A513 Type 2 tubing will have tighter wall thickness tolerances, improved surface condition and a more narrow range of mechanical properties than Type 1. …

What is mechanical tube?

Definitions. Mechanical Tubing: tubing used for mechanical and light gauge structural applications. Mechanical tube is produced to meet specific end use requirements, specifications, tolerances and chemistries. This allows for more specific property uniformity throughout the tube compared to standard pipe.
