ASTM A179/ASME SA179------American Association of Materials and testing Standards
The main production grades of steel pipes are as follows:
A179、SA179
Typical Size
It is important to note that the ASTM A179/ASME SA179 is a standard that covers tubes ranging from 1/8 to 3 in. [3.2 to 76.2 mm] as typical size, inclusive, in outside diameter. Mechanical property requirements do not apply to tubing smaller than 1/8 in, [3.2 mm] in outer diameter or with a wall thickness under 0.015 inches [0.4 mm].

These permissible variations in length apply to tubes before bending. They used to cut lengths up to 24 ft [7.3 m]. For lengths longer than 24 ft [7.3 m], the above over-tolerances shall be increased by 1⁄8 in. [3 mm] for each 10 ft [3 m] or fraction over 24 ft or 1⁄2 in. [13 mm], whichever is the lesser.
