ASTM A252 is the standard specification for welded and seamless steel pipe piles. It covers the nominal wall thickness of cylinder shape steel pipe, rectangular pipe is not included. These round pipes are used for piling purposes, playing as a permanent role of load carrying and bearing the pressure. Further more, to act as a tank shell to fill with the concrete piles at sight of the project.
This standard stated the values units in inch-pound (also could be translated to SI units), which provides the reference A252 pipe data to engineer or designer, for a strength base of the constructions.

The standard has a limit for element P (phosphorous) maximum 0.050%, since P will make steel fragile, and most important is not good for welding performances. ASTM A252 standard specifications only defines the conten of phosphorous, other elements accord with general carbon steel material.
• ASTM A370 inspection methods and definitions for mechanical test of steel products.
• ASTM A751: Chemical analyze test methods.
• ASTM A941: Terminology for carbon, alloy and stainless steel.
• E29 practice for to use significant digits in test result to decide the conformance with specification.
Considering on the manufacturing types, ASTM A252 pipe piles could be made by seamless or welded processes.
Seamless pipe pile referred as hot rolled or cold drawn and thermal expanded seamless pipe.
Welded pipe pile including ERW (electric resistance welded), flash welded, fusion welded or sub-merged welded SSAW or LSAW. Longitudinal or helical spiral welded.
Raw material iron and steel could be made through the process of Open-hearth, Basic-oxygen, Electric-furnace.
Before purchase the pipe piles under ASTM A252 specification, below information will be required:
a. Quantity in feet, meter, or number of lengths
b. Material Name in steel pipe pile
c. Manufacturing types in seamless or welded (ERW, EFW, LSAW, SSAW)
d. Grades (There are three levels of ASTM A252 Grade 3, 2, and 1)
e. Size (OD and nominal wall thickness, schedule in ASME B36.10)
f. Length in SGL, DGL or fixed length.
g. Ends types beveled or plain ends
h. Inspection related and shipping mark
Generally the surface imperfections that exceed 25% are called defects, and for the defects that do not exceed 22.5% of the nominal wall in depth could be repaired by welding. Before do butt welding for two pipe pile, these defects shall be removed completely.
Based on the tensile strength and the yield strength the ASTM A252 is classified into three categories/grades:
a. ASTM A252 Grade 1
b. ASTM A252 Grade 2
c. ASTM A252 Grade 3
In three grades of this standard, ASTM A252 Grade 3 pipe piling is the most common and used in piling activities. Because it has a higher tensile strength (455 Mpa or 66,000 psi) and yield strength (310 Mpa or 45,000 psi).
It includes:
Heat Analysis: Limits to elements P, and heat result shall be reported in MTC to customer.
Product Analysis: Test frequency shall be determined by the pipe diameter, where, under 14 inch 2 samples per 200 pieces, 14 to 36 inch 2 samples per 100 pieces, above 36 inch is 2 per 3000 ft.
Tensile requirements: Values shall be complied to the above tensile strength and yield strength. It shall be noted that if got a vague yield point, then to test yield strength corresponding to a permanent offset of 0.2% of the gage length of the sample specimen, or to test a total extension of 0.5% of the gage length under load.
Pipe pile weights per units (Feet, meter or lengths)
Tolerance allowed: A252 pipe pile weight shall be in +15% or -5% of theoretic weight. OD tolerances at +/-1%, wall thickness +/- 12%.
Lengths: As specified SRL, DRL, or fixed length 20 ft or 40 ft and customized.
Hydrostatic test is not specified in ASTM A252 pipe specification, as normally piling pipe is filling with cement and concrete and forming, not for liquid transmission, so hydrotest is not required.
Seamless, welded, (Longitudinal or helical welded) test methods are different. Check ASTM A252 pipe standard specification for more details. But all of these types are tested in a room temperature.
Nowadays pipe piling is developed to a direction with deep distance and big diameters usage, because the constructions, buildings, bridges now is getting higher even super higher. In United States or Japan steel pipe pile length has reached to 100 meter, diameters reach to 2500 mm. And in China even more.
