CHEMICAL COMPOSITION
- The chemical composition for the specified category includes A513 and A500 specifications. For A513, the percentages are carbon (C) ranging from 0.17 to 0.23, iron (Fe) ranging from 99.08 to 99.53, manganese (Mn) ranging from 0.3 to 0.6, phosphorus (P) with a maximum of 0.04, and sulfur (S) with a maximum of 0.05. For A500, the chemical composition is as follows: carbon (C) with a maximum of 0.3, copper (Cu) with a maximum of 0.18, iron (Fe) with a minimum of 99, sulfur (S) with a maximum of 0.063, and phosphorus (P) with a maximum of 0.05.
MECHANICAL INFORMATION
- The mechanical tubing category is divided into two main types: A513 and A500. The ASTM A513 tubing, suitable for applications with less than 2" OD or less than or equal to 11ga wall thickness, features chemical compositions of 0.17-0.23% Carbon, 99.08-99.53% Iron, 0.3-0.6% Manganese, a maximum of 0.04% Phosphorus, and 0.05% Sulfur. Its mechanical properties include an ultimate tensile strength of 132,000 psi (602 MPa) and a yield tensile strength of 74,185 psi (512 MPa). In contrast, the A500 structural tubing, appropriate for dimensions greater than or equal to 2" OD and greater than 11ga wall thickness, has varying grades A through D with different mechanical strengths; for instance, Grade A displays an ultimate tensile strength of 45,000 psi (310 MPa) with a yield tensile strength of 39,000 psi (269 MPa), while Grade C offers higher strengths of 62,000 psi (427 MPa) and 50,000 psi (345 MPa) respectively. The A500 tube is primarily composed of Iron (minimum 99%), with controlled amounts of Carbon (max 0.3%), Copper (max 0.18%), Sulfur (max 0.063%), and Phosphorus (max 0.05%). Both A513 and A500 tubing are available in a range of sizes and gauges to suit different structural applications.
