Designation:A135/A135M09(Reapproved 2014)Standard Specification forElectric-Resistance-Welded Steel Pipe1This standard is issued under the fixed designation A135/A135M;the number immediately following the designation indicates the yearof original adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.A superscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This specification2covers two grades of electric-resistance-welded steel pipe in NPS 2 to NPS 30 DN 50 to DN750 inclusive,with nominal(average)wall thickness up to0.500 in.12.70 mm,inclusive,and in nominal sizes NPS34to NPS 5 DN 20 to DN 125 inclusive with nominal(average)wall thickness 0.083 in.2.11 mm to 0.134 in.3.40 mm,depending on size.Pipe having other dimensions(Note 1)maybe furnished provided such pipe complies with all otherrequirements of this specification.The pipe is intended forconveying gas,vapor,water or other liquid;only Grade A isadapted for flanging and bending(Note 2).The suitability ofpipe for various purposes is somewhat dependent upon itsdimensions,properties,and conditions of service,so that thepurpose for which the pipe is intended should be stated in theorder.The pipe may be furnished either nonexpanded or coldexpanded at the option of the manufacturer.When pipe is coldexpanded,the amount of expansion shall not exceed 1.5%ofthe outside diameter pipe size.NOTE1A comprehensive listing of standardized pipe dimensions iscontained in ASME B36.10M.NOTE2This provision is not intended to prohibit the cold bending ofGrade B pipe.1.2 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard.The values stated ineach system may not be exact equivalents;therefore,eachsystem shall be used independently of the other.Combiningvalues from the two systems may result in non-conformancewith the standard.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:3A370 Test Methods and Definitions for Mechanical Testingof Steel ProductsA700 Practices for Packaging,Marking,and Loading Meth-ods for Steel Products for Shipment(Withdrawn 2014)4A751 Test Methods,Practices,and Terminology for Chemi-cal Analysis of Steel ProductsA865 Specification for Threaded Couplings,Steel,Black orZinc-Coated(Galvanized)Welded or Seamless,for Use inSteel Pipe JointsA941 Terminology Relating to Steel,Stainless Steel,RelatedAlloys,and FerroalloysE6 Terminology Relating to Methods of Mechanical TestingE29 Practice for Using Significant Digits in Test Data toDetermine Conformance with SpecificationsE213 Practice for Ultrasonic Testing of Metal Pipe andTubingE273 Practice for Ultrasonic Testing of the Weld Zone ofWelded Pipe and TubingE309 Practice for Eddy-Current Examination of Steel Tubu-lar Products Using Magnetic SaturationE570 Practice for Flux Leakage Examination of Ferromag-netic Steel Tubular ProductsE1806 Practice for Sampling Steel and Iron for Determina-tion of Chemical Composition2.2 ASME Standard:B1.20.1 Pipe Threads,General Purpose5B36.10M Welded and Seamless Wrought Steel Pipe5,62.3 Federal Standards:Fed.STD No.123 Marking for Shipments(Civil Agencies)7Fed.STD No.183 Continuous Identification Marking ofIron and Steel Products72.4 Military Standards:MIL-STD-129 Marking for Shipment and Storage81This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee A01 on Steel,Stainless Steel and Related Alloys and is the direct responsibility of SubcommitteeA01.09 on Carbon Steel Tubular Products.Current edition approved March 1,2014.Published March 2014.Originallyapproved in 1931.Last previous edition approved in 2009 as A135/A135M 09.DOI:10.1520/A0135_A0135M-09R14.2For ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code applications,see related Specifi-cation SA-135 in Section II of that Code.3For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.4The last approved version of this historical standard is referenced onwww.astm.org.5Available from American National Standards Institute(ANSI),25 W.43rd St.,4th Floor,New York,NY 10036,http:/www.ansi.org.6Available from American Society of Mechanical Engineers(ASME),ASMEInternational Headquarters,Two Park Ave.,New York,NY 10016-5990,http:/www.asme.org.7Available from General Service Administration,Washington,DC 20405.8Available from Standardization Documents Order Desk,Bldg.4 Section D,700Robbins Ave.,Philadelphia,PA 191115094.Attn.:NOPD.Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United States1Copyright by ASTM Intl(all rights reserved);3.Terminology3.1 For definitions of terms relating to steel manufacturingand properties,refer to Terminology A941.3.2 For definitions of terms relating to mechanical testing,refer to Terminology E6.3.3 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standar
