This specification covers three grades of seam-welded, round, tapered steel tubes for structural use. Grades A and B are of low-carbon steel or high-strength low-alloy steel composition and Grade C is of weather-resistance steel composition. The tube steel shall be hot-rolled aluminum-semikilled or fine-grained killed sheet or plate manufactured by one or more of the following processes: open-hearth, basic-oxygen, or electric-furnace. The tubes shall be made from trapezoidal sheet or plate that is preformed and then seam welded. They shall be brought to final size and properties by roll compressing cold on a hardened mandrel. A tensile test shall be done to determine the yield strength and the ultimate tensile strength of the tubes.
