Welded and Cold Drawn Low-Carbon Steel Tubing Annealed for Bending and Flaring J525

This SAE Standard covers normalized electric-resistance welded, cold-drawn, single-wall, low-carbon steel pressure tubing intended for use as pressure lines and in other applications requiring tubing of a quality suitable for bending, flaring, forming, and brazing.   In an effort to standardize within a global marketplace and ensuring that companies can remain competitive in an international market it is the intent to convert to metric tube sizes which will: • Lead to one global system • Guide users to preferred system • Reduce complexity • Eliminate inventory duplications
