Designation:A513/A513M15Standard Specification forElectric-Resistance-Welded Carbon and Alloy SteelMechanical Tubing1This standard is issued under the fixed designation A513/A513M;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.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the U.S.Department of Defense.1.Scope*1.1 This specification covers electric-resistance-welded car-bon and alloy steel tubing for use as mechanical tubing.1.2 This specification covers mechanical tubing made fromhot-or cold-rolled steel.1.3 This specification covers round,square,rectangular,andspecial shape tubing.TypeSize Range(Round Tubing)Electric-Resistance-Welded Tubingfrom Hot-Rolled Steeloutside diameter from12to 15 in.10 to 380 mmwall from 0.065 to 0.650 in.1.65 to 16.50 mmElectric-Resistance-Welded Tubingfrom Cold-Rolled Steeloutside diameter from38to 12 in.9.5 to 305 mmwall from 0.022 to 0.134 in.0.56 to 3.40 mm1.4 Optional supplementary requirements are provided andwhen desired,shall be so stated in the order.1.5 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard.Within the text the SIunits are shown in brackets.The values stated in each systemmay not be exact equivalents;therefore each system shall beused independently of the other.Combining values from thetwo systems may result in non-conformance with the standard.The inch-pound units shall apply unless the“M”designation ofthis specification is specified in the order.In this specificationhard or rationalized conversions apply to diameters,lengthsand tensile properties.Soft conversion applies to other SImeasurements.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2A370 Test Methods and Definitions for Mechanical Testingof Steel ProductsA700 Guide for Packaging,Marking,and Loading Methodsfor Steel Products for ShipmentA751 Test Methods,Practices,and Terminology for Chemi-cal Analysis of Steel ProductsA1008/A1008M Specification for Steel,Sheet,Cold-Rolled,Carbon,Structural,High-Strength Low-Alloy,High-Strength Low-Alloy with Improved Formability,SolutionHardened,and Bake HardenableA1011/A1011M Specification for Steel,Sheet and Strip,Hot-Rolled,Carbon,Structural,High-Strength Low-Alloy,High-StrengthLow-AlloywithImprovedFormability,and Ultra-High StrengthA1039/A1039M Specification for Steel,Sheet,Hot Rolled,Carbon,Commercial,Structural,and High-Strength Low-Alloy,Produced by Twin-Roll Casting ProcessA1040 Guide for Specifying Harmonized Standard GradeCompositions for Wrought Carbon,Low-Alloy,and AlloySteelsE213 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 Products1This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee A01 on Steel,Stainless Steel and Related Alloysand is the direct responsibility of SubcommitteeA01.09 on Carbon Steel Tubular Products.Current edition approved May 15,2015.Published May 2015.Originallyapproved in 1964.Last previous edition approved in 2014 as A513/A513M 14.DOI:10.1520/A0513_A0513M-15.2For 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.*A Summary of Changes section appears at the end of this standardCopyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United States1 2.2 ANSI Standard:3B 46.1 Surface Texture2.3 Military Standards:4MIL-STD-129 Marking for Shipment and Storage2.4 Federal Standard:4Fed.Std.No.123 Marking for Shipments(Civil Agencies)3.Ordering Information3.1 Orders for material under this specification shouldinclude the following as required to adequately describe thedesired material:3.1.1 Quantity(feet,metres,or number of lengths),3.1.2 Name of material(electric resistance-welded carbonor alloy steel mechanical tubing),3.1.3 Types,conditions and code letters,(See Sections 1 and12),3.1.4 Thermal condition,(See 12.2),3.1.5 Flash condition,(See 12.3),3.1.6 Grade designation,if required,(See Section 5),3.1.7 Report chemical analysis and product analysis,ifrequired(See Sections 6 and 7),3.1.8 Individual supplementary requirements,if required(S1 to S10,inclusive),3.1.9 Cross section(round,square,rectangular and specialshapes),3.1.10 Dimensions,round,outside and inside and wallthickness(See 8.1 and 8.2)or square and rectangular,outsidedimension and wall thickness and corner radii,if required(See9.1 and 9.2),3.1.11 Length,round,mill lengths or definite cut length(See8.3),squa
