ASTM A53 seamless and welded steel pipe is a general, all-purpose pipe. Designed for coiling, bending and flanging, A53 carbon steel pipe is suitable for welding. The grades denote certain chemical and mechanical properties and should be noted in selection. A53 pipe is intended for mechanical and pressure applications and is also acceptable for ordinary uses in steam, water, gas and air lines, Low pressure systems, Structural applications, Mechanical components, Bollards, Casing, generator plants, refineries, compressor stations, natural gas transmission, and steam conduction.

A53 PIPE COATING TYPRES FOR CARBON STEEL PIPE AGAINST CORROSION EVIRONMENTS
In order to increase the resistance of steel pipe in corrosion environment, Octal offers different types of coating systems to protect against from the corrosive and abrasion break.
- 3PE coated, 3 layer Polyethylene coating
- FBE coated, Fusion bonded epoxy coating
(Check here to find out differences between 3PE and FBE.)
- Zinc coated, Hot dipped galvanized steel pipe, cold electric galvanized
- Solid, CRA, Clad and lined pipes, Cladding and lining alloy steel material on the carbon steel material
APPLICATIONS
1. Construction: the pipeline underneath, the groundwater, and the hot water transportation.
2. Mechanical processing, bearing sleeves, processing machinery parts, etc.
3. Electrical: Gas delivery, Hydroelectric power fluid pipeline
4. Anti-static tubes for wind power plants, etc.
