ASTM A252

Independence Tube has been producing

square and rectangular products for over
thirty-five years. Our experience with these
products has led to the creation of our round
and pipe size line. Independence Tube can now
supply your pipe piling needs with the same
excellence.
Independence Tube is now manufacturing ERW
Pipe Piling to ASTM A252 in Grades 1, 2, and
3. Pipe Piling is produced from 6.625" O.D. to
12.750" O.D. in walls from .188" to .625" up to
78 feet long.
The most popular Pipe Piling sizes of 10.75" OD
and 12.75" OD are produced in our Decatur,
Alabama Division on a 4-week production cycle
for your immediate needs.
When it comes to the versatility of designing with tube and pipe products, designers,
architects, and engineers specify Independence
Tube. We have expanded our product line to
expand your possibilities.
