ASTM A795 Type E, Grade A Pipe SUBMITTAL DATA

SCOPE
Covers black and hot-dipped galvanized Electric Resistance Welded, Grade A pipe. Pipe is intended for use in fire protection systems. Pipe
produced under ASTM A795 is UL, ULC listed, sizes 1 1/4” to 6” S10 and FM approved S10, S40 (not included 3 ½, 5), for use in Fire
Sprinkler Pipe applications. Light-weight pipe is suitable for joining by welding and by rolled grooving while the standard-weight pipe is
suitable cut or rolled groove, threading, and welding. Produced to latest revisions of ASTM A795/A 795M, and ASME B36.10M

HOT-DIPPED GALVANIZED
The average weight of zinc coating determined by the ASTM A90 method shall be not less than 1.5 oz. per sq. ft. of surface (inside and outside),
and 1.8 oz. per sq.ft if UL /ULC marked.
When galvanized pipe is bent or otherwise fabricated to a degree which causes zinc coating to stretch or compress beyond the limit of elasticity,
some flaking of the coating may occur.
BLACK PIPE
The average thickness of black water base paint is 1 mil on the outside surface of the pipe

HYDROSTATIC TESTING and NONDESTRUCTIVE ELECTRIC TESTING


Hydrostatic test pressures for plain-end pipe are indicated below (PSI). Test pressures shall be maintained for a minimum of 5 seconds.
*As an alternative to the hydrostatic test, each length of ERW pipe can be tested with a nondestructive electric test.
NPS S10 and S40 Hydro test
1 1/4 1200 tested
1 1/2 1200 tested
2 1200 tested
2 1/2 1200 tested
3 1200 tested
3 1/2 1200 tested
4 1200 tested
5 1200 tested
6 1200 tested
END FINISH
Plain end: NPS 1 1/4 and larger: ends are beveled top a angle of 30°, + 5° – 0° with a root face of 1/16 ± 1/32
Threaded: To ANSI Standard B1.20.1, Couplings: To ASTM Standard A865, Rolled groove: CSA B242 standard

CHEMICAL REQUIREMENTS
Composition, max % »» Carbon: 0.25, Manganese: 0.95, Phosphorus: .035, Sulfur: .035

TENSILE REQUIREMENTS
Not required

FLATTENING TEST
As a test for quality of the weld, position of the weld at 90° from the direction of force and flatten until the OD is 2/3 of the original outside
diameter. No cracks shall occur along the inside or outside surface of the weld.

Pipe weight per foot shall not vary more than  5% from the standard specified

PRODUCT MARKING
Each length of pipe 1 1/4 NPS and larger is continuously stenciled to show the manufacturer name, ”Made in Canada“, the grade of pipe (ASTM
A795), the kind of pipe (E for electric-resistance welded, A for Grade A), the size (S10 for light wall, S40 for standard), length, the letters “NH“
if not hydrostatically tested, Galvanized lot number and date. Stencil markings indicate UL, ULC listing (ULC, UL LISTED 22ZL STEEL
SPRINKLER PIPE) and « FM » approved for sizes mentioned in scope for use in Fire Sprinkler Pipe applications. Bar coding is acceptable as a
