ASME SA513 1010 1015 1020 Electric Resistance Welded Steel Pipe Welded Carbon Steel Tube
Mechanical
ASME SA513 steel pipes are manufactured using electric resistance welding (ERW) technique for producing welded carbon steel tubes with excellent mechanical properties. These tubes are designed primarily for mechanical applications requiring durability, strength, and good weldability. The grades 1010, 1015, and 1020 differ mainly in their carbon content, affecting their tensile strength and hardness.
Material
The material used for ASME SA513 pipes is carbon steel, manufactured under strict quality controls to meet ASTM and ASME standards. The steel is hot rolled and cold finished based on application requirements. Electric Resistance Welded (ERW) processes ensure the tube has high structural integrity with a smooth and consistent surface finish.

Steel Grade
- SA513 Grade 1010: Low carbon steel with good ductility, suitable for light to moderate mechanical applications.
- SA513 Grade 1015: Medium carbon steel offering a balance between strength and machinability.
- SA513 Grade 1020: Higher carbon content for improved strength and hardness, suited for heavier mechanical load requirements.
Application
ASME SA513 ERW carbon steel pipes are widely used in:
- Mechanical tubing for automotive parts, agricultural equipment, and machine frames
- Structural applications requiring medium strength tubular sections
- Hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders
- Industrial machinery and equipment
- Conveyor rollers and furniture components
Equivalent Grades
- ASTM A513 carbon steel tubes
- API 5L (for some structural and mechanical applications)
- EN 10305-3 (cold drawn seamless tubes – similar chemical and mechanical properties)
- JIS G3445 (carbon steel tubes for mechanical engineering applications)
