ASTM A333 GR3 Carbon Steel Seamless Pipes
ASTM A333 Grade 3 (A333 GR3) is a specification for low-temperature carbon steel seamless pipes.
ASTM A179 (SA 179) standard specification covers seamless cold drawn low carbon steel pipe, for tubular heat exchanger, condensers and other similar heat transfer equipment.
The ASTM A179 tube covers the OD from 1/8” to 3”, which is 3.2m m to 76.2 mm. Other diameters and thickness smaller than the specified sizes also applicable to this standard, but mechanical properties is not applicable for the size smaller than 1/8” and 3.2 mm, or thickness smaller than 0.015 inch 0.4 mm.
