In this post I'll talk about and give details about ASTM A134. First let's describe it and then have a look at its material's properties.
Ok let's start with ASTM A134 chemical composition.
Learn more about chemical composition.
Now it's the mechanical properties turn:
Learn more about density.
Learn more about the Elastic Modulus.
Learn more about the poisson ratio.
Learn more about the what is allowable stress.
I ranked materials according to their yield strengths and ASTM A134 currently ranks 138 in my yield strength index. This means there are other 137 materials that are more resistant.
Note: I've analysed 134 materials in order to create an yield strength index. Check my astm material's comparison post for more details.
What is the difference between Code, Standard & Specification?

What is ASTM A134?
ASTM A134 is a Specification for Pipe, Steel, Electric-Fusion (ARC)-Welded (Sizes NPS 16 and Over).Category
Steel PipeScope
This specification covers electric-fusion (arc)-welded straight seam or spiral seam steel pipe NPS 16 and over in diameter.Ok let's start with ASTM A134 chemical composition.
Chemical Composition
A283/A283M, A285/A285M, A570/A570M, or A36/A36M
The steel from which the pipe is made shall conform to Specifications A283/A283M, A285/A285M, A570/A570M, or A36/A36M
Learn more about chemical composition.
Now it's the mechanical properties turn:
Density
7800 - 8000 kg/m3 (around 7.9 g/cm3 or 0.285 lb/in3).Learn more about density.
Elastic Modulus
190 GPa (27557 ksi) - 210GPa (30458 ksi).Learn more about the Elastic Modulus.
Poisson's Ratio
0.27 – 0.30.Learn more about the poisson ratio.
Allowable Stress
Depends on the project (And its factor of safety).Learn more about the what is allowable stress.
My Material's Rank
While engineers will often look for the cheapest material they can use, I took a different approach to material's selection to help newbie students.I ranked materials according to their yield strengths and ASTM A134 currently ranks 138 in my yield strength index. This means there are other 137 materials that are more resistant.
Note: I've analysed 134 materials in order to create an yield strength index. Check my astm material's comparison post for more details.
