ASTM A252 TORICH 455Mpa Cold Drawn Seamless Steel Tube

ASTM A252 for Welded and Seamless Steel Pipe

American Standard ASTM A252 is pipe piling material standard that has been widely used in constructions and structural buildings. A252 specification includes three grades (1, 2, and 3), Grade 3 pipe piling material is the most used option.

This specification covers nominal wall cylindrical steel pipe piles in which the steel cylinder acts as a permanent load-carrying member or as a shell to form cast-in-place concrete piles. Each welded pile shall be made by seamless, electric resistance welding, flash welding or fusion welding with longitudinal, helical-butt, or helical-lap seams. This specification also deals with material tensile requirements, minimum elongation values and common size and weights per unit length values.

In three grades of this standard, ASTM A252 Grade 3 pipe piling is the most common and used in piling activities. Because it has a higher tensile strength (455Mpa or 66,000 psi) and yield strength (310 Mpa or 45,000 psi).

Chemical composition:

The standard has a limit for element P (phosphorous) maximum 0.050%, since P will make steel fragile, and most important is not good for welding performances.

Material analysis

Heat Analysis: Limits to elements P, and heat result shall be reported in MTC to customer.
Product Analysis: Test frequency shall be determined by the pipe diameter, where, under 14 inch 2 samples per 200 pieces, 14 to 36 inch 2 samples per 100 pieces, above 36 inch is 2 per 3000 ft.
Tensile requirements: Values shall be complied to the above tensile strength and yield strength. It shall be noted that if got a vague yield point, then to test yield strength corresponding to a permanent offset of 0.2% of the gage length of the sample specimen, or to test a total extension of 0.5% of the gage length under load.

Weight and dimension tolerances

Pipe pile weights per units (Feet, meter or lengths)
Tolerance allowed: A252 pipe pile weight shall be in +15% or -5% of theoretic weight. OD tolerances at +/-1%, wall thickness +/- 12%.
Lengths: As specified SRL, DRL, or fixed length 20 ft or 40 ft and customized.

Different than other pipelines

Hydrostatic test is not specified in ASTM A252 pipe specification, as normally piling pipe is filling with cement and concrete and forming, not for liquid transmission, so hydrotest is not required.

Different test methods for seamless and welded pipe piles

Seamless, welded, (Longitudinal or helical welded) test methods are different. Check ASTM A252 pipe standard specification for more details. But all of these types are tested in a room temperature.
