ASTM A252

Nowadays, ASTM A252 pipe piling is being developed for use in a direction with deep distances and large diameters, since structures, buildings, and bridges are becoming increasingly tall, even super tall. Piling pipe has a cylindrical design that bears weight and is suitable for a wide range of applications, including Buildings, Retaining walls, and Different structures that need a tough base. This guarantees that the construction is solid, stable, and of the greatest quality, ensuring toughness that satisfies international quality standards. The large diameter of the pipe prevents it from breaking under the weight of the structure or building. The pipe is also essential in stabilizing the foundation of the Retaining wall. Different structures need a tough base material that can resist different types of loads without bending or breaking. In conclusion, piling pipes have a large variety of applications due to their durability and strength.

The ASTM A252 pipes must obey the demands for tensile properties that are set out in the tables below. The yield point is the point at which the beam falls, as detected by the gauge of the testing machine, dividers, or other accepted methods. If there is no definite yield point apparent, then the yield strength corresponding to either a 0.2% permanent offset of the gage length specimen or a 0.5% total extension of the gage length under load shall be determined instead. In other words, the material must meet certain standards for tension and yield to be viable for use. This is to ensure that it will not break under stress or strain and cause injury.

- Tensile Requirements

- Minimum Elongations

• The ASTM A252 standard specifies that each length of pipe pile must be weighted separately, and the weight must not vary more than 15% over or 5% under the theoretical weight. This ensures that the pipe will be able to support the load that it is intended to bear. The manufacturer must also ensure that the pipe conforms to the specified calculation formula unless otherwise specified on the purchase order. 

• The outside diameter of pipe piles shall not deviate from the required outside diameter by more than 1%.
• At no point shall the wall thickness deviate by more than 12.5% below the nominal wall thickness.
