SA423/A423M Grade 1 , Grade 2 , Grade 3 electric welded steel pipe , Electric-Welded Low-Alloy Steel Tubes
Standard Specification for
Seamless and Electric-Welded Low-Alloy Steel Tubes1
1. Scope
1.1 This specification2 covers minimum-wall-thickness, seamless and electric-resistance welded, low-alloy steel tubes
for pressure containing parts such as economizers or other applications where corrosion resistance is important.
1.2 The tubing sizes and thicknesses usually furnished to this specification are 1⁄2 to 5 in. [12.7 to 127 mm] in outside
diameter and 0.035 to 0.500 in. [0.9 to 12.7 mm] inclusive, in minimum wall thickness. Tubing having other dimensions may
be furnished, provided such tubes comply with all other requirements of this specification.
1.3 Mechanical property requirements do not apply to tubing smaller than 1⁄4 in. [3.2 mm] in inside diameter or 0.015
in. [0.4 mm] in thickness.
1.4 An optional supplementary requirement is provided and, when desired, shall be so stated in the order.
1.5 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. Within the text, the
SI units are shown in brackets. The values stated in each system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system
shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in non-conformance with the
standard. The inch-pound units shall apply unless the “M” designation of this specification is specified in the order.
