ASTM A513/A513M-20a Electric-Resistance-Welded Carbon and Alloy Steel Mechanical Tubing

Scope:

ASTM A513/A513M-20a test method covers the mechanical tubing and the use of electric-resistance-welded carbon and alloy steel tubing in it. The method proceeds with the quality check, heat treatment, and testing of the chemical composition of materials. The results obtained from this method help in quality control, research, and performance evaluation of mechanical tubing.

Procedure:

The specimen is manufactured as per the specified measurements, and limits are specified for the chemical composition of the material. The analysis is done by the agreement between the purchaser and the producer. Tensile strength is measured, and heat treatment is applied. Then, a stress-corrosion resistance test is performed, and the cracking capabilities of various alloys are tested. The destructive weld tests, hydrostatic test round tubing, and nondestructive electric test are performed. The method also covers the packaging and certification. 

Specimen Size:

Specimen size should be as per the requirements. In this case, the length of the specimen should be 1.5m or 5ft.

Data:

The method covers the certification, sampling, testing, and specimen inspection within the set limits. The hydrostatic pressure is denoted by P, and S stands for stress.

Conclusion:

THE ASTM A513/513M-20a test method is specifically important for the quality assurance and durability of mechanical tubing. In this regard, the top service provider is the Infinita Lab, which ensures efficient and reliable testing.
