Alloy Steel Pipe Product Specification
1. Product Introduction
Alloy steel pipe is manufactured from carbon steel billets with alloy elements including Chromium (Cr), Molybdenum (Mo), Vanadium (V), Manganese (Mn) and Nickel (Ni). Different from ordinary carbon steel pipes, alloy steel seamless pipes feature outstanding high-temperature resistance, high-pressure resistance, corrosion resistance and high toughness via optimized alloy composition. Mainly supplied in seamless structure and customized welded pipes upon request.
Classified into three categories: structural alloy pipe, high-pressure boiler heat-resistant alloy pipe and petrochemical anti-corrosion alloy pipe. Widely applied in thermal power boiler, petrochemical industry, coal chemical engineering, construction machinery, oil & gas transportation, nuclear power and aerospace industries.
2. Main Steel Grades
Domestic GB Standard
15CrMo, 12Cr1MoVG, 1Cr5Mo, 12Cr2MoWVTiB, 42CrMo (for structural usage)
International ASTM/ASME Standard for Export
A335 P11/P12/P22/P91/P92, A213 T11/T12/T22/T91 (for high-temperature boiler service)
Function of Alloy Elements
Chromium (Cr): Improve oxidation resistance, chemical corrosion resistance and high-temperature stability
Molybdenum (Mo): Boost high-temperature tensile strength and creep resistance for service above 500℃ piping
Vanadium (V): Refine grain structure to enhance toughness and fatigue resistance
3. Applicable Standards
Chinese GB Standards
GB/T8162 (Structural Pipe), GB/T8163 (Liquid Transportation Pipe), GB5310 (High-pressure Boiler Pipe), GB6479 (Chemical Fertilizer High-pressure Pipe), GB9948 (Petrochemical Furnace Pipe)
International Standards
ASTM A335, ASTM A213, ASME SA335, DIN17175, EN10216
4. Dimension Specification
Outside Diameter (OD): 6mm ~ 1200mmSmall size cold-drawn pipe: 6mm–168mm for hydraulic & instrument pipingMedium & large hot-rolled pipe: 168mm–660mm for petrochemical and boiler main pipelineExtra-large size: 660–1200mm by customized hot extrusion process
Wall Thickness (WT): 2mm ~ 100mmThin wall (2–5mm): heat exchanger & coil pipe; Medium wall (5–30mm); Heavy wall (>30mm): high-pressure hydrogenation & power station main steam pipeline
Standard Length: 6m/9m/12m; customized length from 3m to 18m available
Dimensional Tolerance: Grade D3/D4 for high-pressure boiler grade, OD tolerance ±0.5%~±1%, WT tolerance ±7.5%~±10%
5. Manufacturing Process
Raw Material Inspection: Premium alloy round billet with chemical composition tested by spectrometer
Heating & Piercing: Billet heated in annular furnace then pierced into hollow shell by cross rolling
Forming: Hot rolling for large OD pipes, cold rolling/cold drawing for precise small size pipes
Heat Treatment: Normalizing + Tempering / Quench & Temper to eliminate internal stress and optimize metallurgical structure (Grade 15CrMo: normalized at 930℃, tempered at 700℃)
Straightening & End Facing: Pipe straightening, end chamfering; straightness ≤0.5mm per meter
Non-destructive Test: 100% UT (Ultrasonic Test) + ET (Eddy Current Test) to eliminate inner/outer crack and lamination defects
Marking & Warehousing: Mark steel grade, dimension, heat number, standard on pipe body; plastic end caps for pipe ends protection
6. Core Mechanical & Service Performance
Mechanical Property: Tensile strength 470–900MPa, Yield Strength ≥275MPa, Elongation ≥21%. 30%~50% higher strength than regular carbon steel pipe with excellent anti-impact and anti-burst capacity under high pressure.
High-temperature Resistance: Continuous long-term service up to 550℃; P91 & 12Cr2MoWVTiB can work steadily under max 650℃ without high-temperature creep deformation.
Medium Corrosion Resistance: Resist erosion from steam, hydrogen sulfide and acid-base medium for corrosive chemical pipeline.
Low-temperature Toughness: Keep stable ductility above -45℃ without brittle fracture for cold-region oil & gas transmission pipeline.
