Features of ASTM A179/A179M

ASTMA179/ASME SA179 standard is applicable for steel pipes together with outside diameter of 1/8in-3in. (32 mm to 76.2 mm). Our rolling technology has reached the international advanced spot. JST is able to manufacture cold drawn seamless steel tubes with uniform wall depth. Their tolerance is relatively smaller standard your own.

When seamless carbon steel pipes are during the last cold drawing procedure, they will enter micro oxidization and non-oxidation heat treatment furnace for thermal treatment (Temperature is 1200℉ (650℃) if not more.). This makes the surface of cold drawn seamless steel tubes match the no oxide scale standards, and guarantees smooth surface and stable performance.

JST adopts professional hardness testing equipment to find out the hardness of seamless carbon steel pipes. The Rockwell hardness value not able to exceed 72 HRB.

Top rated program customers' requirements, we can analyze the cold drawn seamless steel tube advertise its chemical composition meet standards. We choose one from 250 pipes or select one in a furnace to investigate. If the product analysis fails, then choose another two seamless carbon steel pipes. All elements of two steel pipes tend to be in accordance with standards, and then these pipes can be delivered.

Note:

• Mill test certificates will be issued according to EN10204.3
• All tubes shall be supplied as per applicable ASTM Specification.
• The tubes Shall be Seamless and the testing shall be as per A 450 / A450M.
