Hot rolled black pipe is manufactured to ASTM A53 Grade B standards for pressure and mechanical applications. The term 'black' refers to the dark iron oxide scale on its surface, a byproduct of the hot rolling process. This finish offers minimal corrosion resistance. The pipe is valued for its strength, durability, and excellent weldability without requiring pre-heating.
As a large-diameter pipe, this 4-inch Schedule 40 size is commonly used for main water lines (non-potable), industrial process piping for fluids and gasses, structural columns in construction, and heavy-duty framework for industrial supports and scaffolding.
