ASTM A178 ERW Steel Pipe

 

ASTM A178 standard covers carbon steel and carbon manganese ERW pipes, which can be divided into Grade A (low carbon steel), Grade C (medium carbon steel) and Grade D (carbon manganese steel). ASTM A178 ERW steel pipes are mainly used in boilers, superheaters and other applications. Next, we will introduce ASTM A178 ERW steel pipe in detail.
