ASTM A 500-89 / ASME SA 500 

COLD FORMED WELDE AND SEAMLESS CARBON STEEL 

STRUCTURAL TUBING IN ROUNDS AND SHAPES

1. Scope

1.1 This specification covers cold-formed welded and seamless carbon steel round, square, rectangular, or special shape structural tubing for welded, riveted, or bolted conshape structural tubing for welded, riveted, or bolted construction of bridges and buildings, and for general structural purposes. 

1.2 This tubing is produced in both welded and seamless seizes with a maximum periphery of 64in.(1626 mm) and a maximum wall of 0.625 in.(15.88 mm). Grade Drequires heat treatment. Note 1 - Products manufactured to this specificationmay not be suitable for those applications such as dymanically loaded elements in welded structures, etc, where low-temperature notch-toughness properties may be important. 

1.3 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the standard.

A
The minimum Elongation values Specified apply only to testing performed prior to shipment because of the possibility of strain aging. Test perfomed after shipment may show values below those stated
B
Applies to specified wall thicknesses 0.120 in.(3.05mm) and over. For wall thicknesses under 0.120 in., the minimum elongation shall be calculated by the formula: percent elongation in. 2 in.=56t + 17.5.
C
Applies to specified wall thicknesses 0.180 in. (5.57mm) and over. For wall thicknesses under 0.108 in,. The minimum elongation shall be calculated by the formula: percent elongation in 2 in.=61t+12
D
Applies to specfied wall thicknesses 0.120 in. (3.05mm) and over. For lighter wall thicknesses, elongation shall be by agreement with the manufature.

Over 5½ (139.7) 0.01 times lager flat dimension

 

A
Tolerances include allowance for convexity or concavity. For rectangular tubing having a ratio of outside larger to small flat dimesion less than 1.5, and for square tubing, the tolerance on small falt dimension shall be identical to the lager flat dimension in the range of 1.5 to 3.0 inclusive, the tolerance on small flat dimentsion shall be 1.5 times the lager flat dimension tolerance. For rectangular tubing having a ratio of outside lager to small flat dimension greater than 3.0 the tolerance on small flat dimension shall be 2.0 times the large flat dimension tolerance.
