The production and quality inspection of alloy steel pipes must comply with corresponding standards. Below are the currently applicable main standards:
| Standard No. | Standard Name (English) | Scope of Application |
|---|---|---|
| GB/T 8162-2018 | Seamless steel tubes for structural purposes | General structural and mechanical parts |
| GB/T 8163-2018 | Seamless steel tubes for fluid transport | Fluid pipelines for engineering and equipment |
| GB/T 3087-2018 | Seamless steel tubes for low/medium pressure boilers | Low/medium pressure pipelines for industrial and domestic boilers |
| GB/T 5310-2018 | Seamless steel tubes for high-pressure boilers | High-temperature, high-pressure headers and pipelines for power station boilers |
| GB/T 6479-2018 | Seamless steel tubes for high-pressure chemical fertilizer equipment | High-temperature, high-pressure fluid pipelines for fertilizer equipment |
| GB/T 9948-2018 | Seamless steel tubes for petroleum cracking | Boilers and heat exchangers in petroleum refineries |
Latest Update:
GB/T 9948-2025 "Seamless steel tubes for petrochemical and chemical plants" was issued on June 30, 2025, and will take effect on January 1, 2026. This new standard consolidates several previous standards, including those for petroleum cracking and high-pressure chemical fertilizer equipment.
Material Selection Suggestion:
Select the appropriate grade and inspection level according to actual operating conditions — temperature, pressure, and medium corrosivity — referencing the corresponding standards.
