Seamless steel tube is a steel pipe that is perforated from the entire round steel and has no welds on the surface, which is called seamless steel tube. According to production methods, seamless steel pipes can be divided into hot-rolled seamless steel pipes, cold-rolled seamless steel tube, cold-drawn seamless steel pipes, extruded seamless steel pipes, top pipes, etc. According to the cross-sectional shape, seamless steel tube are divided into two types: circular and irregular. The irregular pipes have various complex shapes such as square, elliptical, triangular, hexagonal, melon seed, star, and finned pipes. The maximum diameter is 900mm, and the minimum diameter is 4mm. According to different purposes, there are thick walled seamless steel pipes and thin-walled seamless steel pipes. Seamless steel tube are mainly used for petroleum geological drilling pipes, cracking pipes for petrochemical industry, boiler pipes, bearing pipes, and high-precision structural steel pipes for automobiles, tractors, and aviation
Seamless pipes for structural purposes (GB/T8162-1999) are seamless pipes used for general structures and mechanical structures. It is a variety of seamless steel pipes classified according to their different uses.
Application field of seamless pipes for structural purposes
Stainless steel seamless pipes for structural purposes (GB/T14975-2002) are hot-rolled (extruded, expanded) and cold-drawn (rolled) seamless pipes made of stainless steel, which are widely used in industries such as chemical, petroleum, light textile, medical, food, machinery, and other corrosion-resistant pipelines and structural components.
GB/T8162-1999 (Seamless Pipe for Structural Purposes) is mainly used for general structures and mechanical structures. Its representative material (grade): carbon steel 20, 45 steel; Alloy steel Q345, 20Cr, 40Cr, 20CrMo, 30-35CrMo, 42CrMo, etc.
