In this post I'll talk about and give details about ASTM A214. First let's describe it and then have a look at its material's properties.
Ok let's start with ASTM A214 chemical composition.
Learn more about chemical composition.
Now it's the mechanical properties turn:
Learn more about what is hardness.
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 A214 currently ranks 141 in my yield strength index. This means there are other 140 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?

That gives credibility to your paper and it is sometimes required in higher education.
To make your life (and citation) easier just copy & paste the information below into your assignment or essay:

What is ASTM A214?
ASTM A214 is a Specification for Electric-Resistance-Welded Carbon Steel Heat-Exchanger and Condenser Tubes.Category
Steel TubesScope
This specification covers minimum-wall-thickness, electric-resistance-welded, carbon steel tubes to be used for heat exchangers, condensers, and similar heat-transfer apparatus.Ok let's start with ASTM A214 chemical composition.
Chemical Composition
C max.
0.18Mn
0.27 - 0.63P max.
0.035S max.
0.035Learn more about chemical composition.
Now it's the mechanical properties turn:
Hardness Requirements
72 HRB max
Learn more about what is hardness.
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 A214 currently ranks 141 in my yield strength index. This means there are other 140 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.
