1. SCOPE 



1.1 This specification covers electric-resistance-welded carbon and alloy steel tubing for use as mechanical tubing. 
1.2 This specification covers mechanical tubing made from hot- or cld-rolled steel. 

1.3 This specification covers round, square, rectangular, and special shape tubing. 

Type Size Range(Round Tubing)
Electric-Resistance-Welded Tubing from Hot-Rolled Steel outside diameter from 3/4 to 15 in.(19.0 to 38.1mm)
wall from 0.065 to 0.650 in.(1.65 to 16.50mm)
Electric-Resistance-Welded Tubing from cold-Rolled Steel outside diameter form 3/8 to 8 in.(9.52 to 203.2mm)
wall from 0.028 to 0.134 in.(0.71 to 3.40mm)


1.4 Optional supplementary requirements are provided and when desired, shall be so stated in inch-pound units 
are to be refarded as the standard. 1.5 The values stated in inch-pund units are to be regarded as the standard.

A Rimmed or capped steels which may be used for the above grades are characterized by a lack of uiiformity
in their chemical composition, and for this reason produt analysis is not technologically appropriate unless 
misapplication is clearly indicated.

TALBE 21 Hardness Limits and Tensile Properties for Round Tubing
 


Note 1- These values are on normal mill street relieving temperatures. 
For particular applisations, properties may be ajusted by nagotiation between puechaser and producer.
Note 2-For longitudinal strip tets, the width of the gage section shall be 1 in.(25.4mm) and a deduction of 
0.5 percentage points from the basic minimum elongation for each 1/32 in. (0.8mm) decrease in wall thickness 
under 5/16 in. (7.9mm) in wall thickness shall permitted.
