ASTM A252 Grade 3 Piling Pipe

ASTM A252 Grade 3 is the most widely used of the three grades of A252. grade 3 piling pipe has a higher load-carrying capacity and is capable of withstanding extreme loads and complex geologic conditions. It is suitable for heavy loads and demanding geological conditions. Such as large commercial buildings, large structures, offshore platforms, and large bridges.

ASTM A252 grade 3 steel pipe is a type of steel material used specifically for steel pipe piles, which are structural components designed to support heavy loads in construction and civil engineering applications. Among the three grades specified under the ASTM A252 standard, A252 grade 3 steel pipe is the strongest and most commonly used due to its high yield and tensile starength.

A252 Grade 3 carbon steel pipes are available with various end treatments, such as beveling or flush, to suit different applications. ASTM A252 Grade 3 steel pipes also offer a range of coating options, such as FBE, 3PE, and galvanized coatings, providing them with toughness, abrasion resistance, and corrosion resistance. Due to their high strength, they are commonly used in power transmission lines. The A252 specification also includes Grades 1 and 2. All steel pipes can be up to 48 inches in outer diameter.

Characteristics of A252 grade 3 steel pipe Material

A252 grade 3 steel pipeMechanical Properties:
Yield Strength (minimum): 45,000 psi (310 MPa).
Tensile Strength (minimum): 66,000 psi (455 MPa).
A252 grade 3 steel pipe elongation: At least 20% in 2 inches (50.8 mm) for seamless or welded pipes. Varies slightly based on pipe wall thickness and diameter.

Applications of A252 Grade 3 Piling pipe.

Foundation Piling:Used to transfer building loads to stable subsurface layers.Suitable for bridges, high-rise buildings, and industrial structures.Marine and Offshore Construction:Piers, docks, wharves, and seawalls.

Resistant to heavy dynamic loads and harsh environmental conditions when coated.
Structural Uses:Retaining walls, bracing systems, and support columns.
Casing for Drilled Shafts:Acts as a protective casing in drilled shafts for pile foundations.
