Seamless steel pipe is a high-strength, high-temperature resistant and corrosion-resistant steel product, which is widely used in many fields such as petroleum, chemical industry, aviation, aerospace, etc. According to its load-bearing capacity and performance characteristics, seamless steel pipes are divided into different strength grades, the common ones are as follows:
1. Commonly used steel grades such as 20#, 35#, 45#, Q345B, 20G, 16MnG, etc., with strength grades of GB/T8162-2008 B and C.
2. Medium and high-strength steel grades such as Q345, Q390, 12CrMoV, etc., with strength grades of GB/T309-2001 A, B, and C.
3. Special high-strength, high-corrosion-resistant, high-temperature performance pipes, such as 00Cr17Ni14Mo2, 0Cr18Ni11Nb, 0Cr18Ni9Ti and other seamless stainless steel pipes, with strength grades of GB/T14976-2002 A, B, and C.
The following table lists the common seamless steel pipe strength grades and their corresponding grades, sizes, weights and other parameters.
