ASTM A252 Grade

ASTM A252 grades are classified as Grade 1 Grade 2 and Grade 3.

Raw Material Production Process

The steel shall be made by one or more of the following processes: open-hearth, basic-oxygen, or electric furnace.

Materials and Manufacture

Piles shall be made by the seamless, electric resistance welded, flash welded, or fusion welded process.

The seams of welded pipe piles shall be longitudinal, helical-butt, or helical-lap.

ASTM A252 Chemical Composition

Experimental method: ASTM A751.

The steel shall contain no more than 0.050 % phosphorous. This is because high phosphorus levels may cause steel to become brittle at low temperatures, reducing the toughness of the material.

ASTM A252 specification does have limited requirements for chemical composition: this is because ASTM A252 applies primarily to structural applications, especially as load-bearing elements, where physical properties (such as yield strength, tensile strength, and elongation) are more important than chemical composition. These physical properties can be achieved through proper manufacturing and heat treatment processes without strict control of chemical composition other than phosphorus.

ASTM A252 Tensile Requirements

Experimental method: ASTM A370.

Hydrostatic Pressure Test

The reason that ASTM A52 does not specify hydraulic testing is primarily due to the application characteristics and design requirements of these pipes.

For steel pipe piles in the ASTM A252 specification, the primary design purpose is to withstand axial loads, not internal pressures. This is in contrast to piping for the transportation of liquids or gases, such as those under API 5L specification, which must be subjected to a direct test of internal pressure to ensure its tightness and strength.

Dimensional Tolerances

Dimensional tolerances
List	sort	scope
Weight	Theoretical Weight	95%-125%
Diameter	Specified Outside Diameter	±1%
Thickness	specified nominal wall thickness	min 87.5%
Lengths	Single random lengths	16 to 25 ft [4.88 to 7.62 m]
	Double random lengths	over 25 ft [7.62 m] with a minimum average of 35 ft [10.67 m]
	Uniform lengths	length as specified with a permissible variation of ±1 in.
Beveled	Pipe piles shall be furnished with plain ends: When the ends are designated as beveled	30°- 35°

Pipe Surface Defects

1. Surface imperfections having a depth not in excess of 12.5 % of the specified nominal wall thickness shall be acceptable.

It shall be permissible to establish the depth of such imperfections by grinding or filing.

2. Surface imperfections having a depth in excess of 12.5% of the specified nominal wall thickness shall be considered to be defects.

It shall be permissible for defects not deeper than 33.3 % of the specified nominal wall thickness to be repaired by welding, provided that the defect is completely removed prior to welding.
