ASTM A519 is a seamless steel pipe for mechanical purposes with an outside diameter not exceeding 12 3/4 inches (325 mm).
Grade 1020, Grade MT 1020, and Grade MT X 1020 are three of the grades, all of which are carbon steel pipes.
ASTM A519 shall be manufactured using a seamless process, which is a tubular product without welded seams.
Seamless steel tubes are usually manufactured by hot working. If required, the hot-worked product can also be cold-worked to obtain the desired shape, size, and properties.

ASTM A519 contains round, square, rectangular, or other special shapes.
Botop Steel specializes in round steel tubing and can customize shapes upon request.

We have detailed the requirements for round dimensional tolerances in Dimensional Tolerance of ASTM A519, which can be viewed by clicking on it.
ASTM A519 steel pipe usually requires a coating before shipment, commonly rust preventive oils, paints, etc., which prevents rust and corrosion from occurring during transportation and storage.
We can offer a wide range of packaging options for you to choose from.
Boxing, crating, cartons, bulk packing, strapping, etc., which can be customized to meet your project requirements.
