Specification Notes
-
ASTM A513 covers carbon steel grades starting at 1008 and higher, in addition to specified alloy steels. Please visit our Finishes & Chemistries page for a listing of our standard chemistry capabilities.
-
Physical testing (yield, tensile and elongation) is not required under A513. If there is a specific strength requirement for your application, please be sure to include at the time of inquiry, as that will affect the chemistry required.
-
Flash control of the ID weld bead is discussed in section 12.3 to 12.3.4 of the specification. Valmont produces tubing to flash control 0.015" maximum, 0.010" maximum, 0.005" maximum and flash in.
-
Valmont does not produce tubing to meet ASTM A513 Types 3, 4, 5 or 6. Depending upon actual tolerances requested, however, Valmont's ability to produce tubing to tolerances tighter than A513 Type 1 and 2 allows us to explore options to replace ASTM A513 Type 5 DOM (drawn over mandrel) tubing. Please inquire with one of our knowledgeable salespeople if your needed tolerances lie between A513 Type 1 or 2 and A513 Type 5, so we can explore alternatives to drawn over mandrel.
-
ASTM A787 is a related mechanical tubing specification that covers metallic coated (galvanized, hot-dip galvanized, aluminized and galvannealed) carbon steel tubing. Please refer to the ASTM 787 page for more information.
