ASTM A53 Grade A is a specification for carbon steel pipes used in structural and low-pressure applications. It is part of the ASTM A53 standard, which includes different grades designed for specific uses. Grade A is known for its balance of affordability and adequate strength for medium to low-pressure applications.

Chemical Composition

Carbon (C): Up to 0.25%
Manganese (Mn): Up to 0.95%
Phosphorus (P): Up to 0.05%
Sulfur (S): Up to 0.045%
Copper, Nickel, Chromium, Molybdenum, Vanadium (total): Up to 1.00%

Physical Properties

Tensile Strength: A minimum of 330 MPa
Yield Strength: A minimum of 205 MPa
Elongation: Typically around 28%

These properties ensure that Grade A pipes can withstand certain levels of stress without permanent deformation or failure.

Differentiator between Grade A and Grade B

Chemical Requirements
Composition,max,%
	Carbon	Manganese	Phosphorus Sulfur	Sulfur	Copper^A	Nickel^A	Chromium^A	Molybdenum^A	Vanadium^A
Grade A	0.25^B	0.95	0.05	0.045	0.4	0.4	0.4	0.15	0.08
Grade B	0.3^C	1.2	0.05	0.045	0.4	0.4	0.4	0.15	0.08

^A The total composition for these five elements shall not exceed 1.00%.

^B For each reduction of 0.01% below the specified carbon maximum,an increase of 0.06% manganese above the specified maximum will be pemitted up to a maximum of 1.35%.

^C For each reduction of 0.01% below the specified carbon maximum,an increase of 0.06% manganese above the specied maximum wil be pemitted up to amaximum of 1.65%.

Grade B's higher carbon and manganese content result in increased strength and durability, making it suitable for more demanding applications.

Tensile Requirements
	Grade A	Grade B
Tensile strength,min,psi [MPa]	48000 [330]	60000 [415]
Yield strength,min,psi [MPa]	30000 [205]	35000 [240]
Elongation in 2 in.or 50 mm	uaually up to 28%	uaually up to 22%

Grade B's higher tensile and yield strengths make it more suitable for high-pressure applications.

Applications

Plumbing and Water Supply Systems: For lower pressure needs.
Structural Applications: In non-critical structural support roles.
Mechanical Tubing: Depending on wall thickness and specific mechanical requirements.

Advantages

Cost-Effectiveness: Grade A is more economical compared to higher grades.
Adequate Strength: Offers sufficient strength for low to medium pressure applications.
Wide Availability: Being a standard grade, it is widely available in the market.

ASTM A53 Grade A is a carbon steel pipe specification designed for lower pressure and non-critical applications. Its chemical composition and physical properties make it a cost-effective choice for applications where high strength is not a primary concern.

ASTM A53 GR.A WELDED PIPE

ASTM A53 GR.A Welded Pipe Outside Diameter: 1/2inch - 16inch Wall Thickness: 1.5MM - 16MM LENGTH:5 - 12M,commonly uesd,5.8M,6M,12M Surface Treatment: Galvanizing, Black vanish, Carving, threading, Slightly oil painting, PVC clothes cover each bundle ect.
