ASTM A334 grade 3 Seamless pipe tube for low temperature

ASTM A334 is the Standard Specification for Seamless and Welded Carbon and Alloy-Steel Tubes for Low-Temperature Service

We are a professional manufacturer and exporter of ASTM A334 grade 3 tube in China.

This specification covers several grades of minimumwall-thickness, seamless and welded, carbon and alloy-steel tubes intended for use at low temperatures. Some product sizes may not be available under this specification because heavier wall thicknesses have an adverse affect on low-temperature impact properties

Grade 3 is one of the steel grade under ASTM A334 standard.

ASTM A334 grade 3 seamless pipe Manufacture: the tubes shall be made by the seamless process and shall be either hot-finished or cold-finished, as specified.

Heat Treatment: all seamless tubes shall be treated to control their microstructure in accordance with one of the following methods:

a: Normalize by heating to a uniform temperature of not less than 1550°F [845°C] and cool in air or in the cooling chamber of an atmosphere controlled furnace.

b: Reheat and control hot working and the temperature of the hot-finishing operation to a finishing temperature range from 1550 to 1750°F [845 to 955°C] and cool in a controlled atmosphere furnace from an initial temperature of not less than 1550 °F [845°C].

Inspection & Test: chemistry composition analysis, tension test, flattening test, flaring test, hardness test, impact test, NDT, surface inspection and dimension check.
