- A53B Carbon Steel Construction
- ASTM A53 Certified
- 60,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Weldability and Formability
Hot Rolled Black Pipe is a versatile and economical carbon steel material used for fluid transfer and structural support. The term "black" refers to the dark iron oxide mill scale on its surface from the manufacturing process, which offers minimal corrosion resistance. Meeting ASTM A53 Grade B standards, it is a go-to choice for non-potable water, gas, and air lines.
As a large-diameter pipe, this 6" Schedule 40 size provides significant strength and volume capacity. It is commonly specified for main water lines, industrial process piping for non-corrosive fluids, heavy-duty structural columns, and security bollards where impact resistance is required.
