A519 4130 pipe

American Piping Products stocks A519-4130 pipe in the following grades:
  • L80 and P110 heat treated mechanicals.
  • NPS 2” to 12”
  • Schedules 120 through XXH.
  • Non-scheduled walls through 1.5”

Scope

ASTM A519 covers several grades of carbon and alloy steel seamless mechanical tubing. The standard is also acceptable in the manufacture of piping. It is manufactured by hot working and then cold finishing the steel into round, square, rectangle or special shapes. AISI 4130 is a steel formula designation indicating medium carbon content with strengthening alloys that include chromium, manganese, silicon, molybdenum, sulfur and phosphorus.
