Key Material Features
|
ASTM A709
|
Grades 36, 50, 50W, HPS 70W, etc.
|
Specifically designed for bridge construction, these grades offer high strength, good toughness, and excellent weldability. For example, Grade 50 provides a minimum yield strength of 345 MPa, ensuring the pipe can withstand heavy loads. The "W" in grades like 50W and HPS 70W indicates weathering resistance, reducing the need for extensive maintenance in outdoor bridge environments.
|
ASTM A500
|
Grades A, B, C, D
|
Manufactured through cold - forming processes, these grades offer a balance of strength and ductility. Grade B, for instance, has a minimum yield strength of 248 MPa, making it suitable for various bridge structural components. The cold - forming process enhances the material's mechanical properties, allowing for precise shaping to meet different bridge design requirements.

Details
|
Outer Diameter (OD)
|
Ranging from 1/2 inch to 24 inches (12.7 mm - 609.6 mm), catering to diverse bridge structural needs. Smaller diameters can be used for intricate details or support in pedestrian bridges, while larger diameters are ideal for main load - bearing components in large - scale highway bridges.
|
Wall Thickness
|
Varies from thin - walled options for lightweight structures to thick - walled for high - load applications, typically ranging from 0.065 inches to 1.5 inches (1.65 mm - 38.1 mm). The precise wall thickness is carefully calculated to ensure the pipes can bear the expected loads while maintaining an optimal weight - strength ratio.
|
Length
|
Available in standard lengths of 20 feet, 40 feet (6.1 m, 12.2 m), etc., and can also be customized according to bridge project requirements. Custom lengths reduce the need for excessive on - site cutting and welding, improving construction efficiency.

Quality Control Measure
|
Description
|
Material Testing
|
Rigorous chemical composition analysis and mechanical property tests are conducted on raw materials to ensure compliance with ASTM A709 and ASTM A500 standards. Tensile tests, yield strength tests, and impact tests are performed to verify the material's performance.
|
Welding Inspection
|
Welding processes are closely monitored, and non - destructive testing methods such as ultrasonic testing and radiographic testing are employed to detect any internal flaws in the welds, ensuring the quality and reliability of the welded joints.
|
Dimensional Inspection
|
Precise measurement of outer diameter, wall thickness, and length is carried out to ensure the pipes meet the specified dimensional tolerances, guaranteeing a perfect fit during bridge construction.
|
Surface Inspection
|
Visual inspection is conducted to check for any surface defects, such as cracks, dents, or unevenness, ensuring that only pipes with high - quality surfaces are delivered for bridge projects.
