ASTM A53/ ASME SA-53 Type E, Grade B Pipe SUBMITTAL DATA SCOPE Covers black and hot-dipped galvanized Electric Resistance Welded, Grade B pipe. Pipe is intended for mechanical and pressure applications and is acceptable for ordinary uses in steam, water, gas and air lines. Pipe is suitable for welding, threading, grooving and bending. Pipe is not intended for flanging. Produced to the latest revisions of ASTM A53/A 53M, ASME SA53 /SA53M and ASME B36.10M. Pipe is also UL, ULC listed, sizes 1/2”to 6” S40, and FM approved 1 to 6” S40( not included 3 ½,5), for use in Fire Sprinkler Pipe applications. MANUFACTURE The weld seam of electric-resistance welded pipe in Grade B shall be heat treated after welding to a minimum of 1000°F ( 540°C ) or otherwise processed in such a manner that no untempered martensite remains. HOT-DIPPED GALVANIZED The average weight of zinc coating determined by the ASTM A90 method shall be not less than 1.8 oz. per sq. ft. of surface (inside and outside) When galvanized pipe is bent or otherwise fabricated to a degree which causes zinc coating to stretch or compress beyond the limit of elasticity, some flaking of the coating may occur. BLACK PIPE The average thickness of black water base paint is 1 mil on the outside surface of the pipe HYDROSTATIC TESTING and NONDESTRUCTIVE ELECTRIC TESTING Hydrostatic test pressures for plain-end pipe are indicated below.(PSI). Test pressures shall be maintained for a minimum of 5 seconds. Nondestructive electric testing of the weld seam is done on each length of ERW pipe NPS 1/2 and larger NPS S40 S80 NPS S40 S80 1/2 700 850 2 1/2 2500 2500
