Steel Pipe – Types, Specifications, Applications & Export Standard

Steel pipe is one of the most fundamental and widely used steel products in global construction, pipeline transportation, mechanical manufacturing and industrial engineering. With stable mechanical performance, complete specifications and strong adaptability, steel pipe has become an essential material for infrastructure projects worldwide.

We supply a full range of seamless steel pipes and welded steel pipes for export. This blog introduces steel pipe types, standard specifications, advantages and application fields to help global buyers make fast and accurate procurement decisions.

1. Main Types of Steel Pipe

1.1 Seamless Steel Pipe

Seamless steel pipe has no welding seam on the pipe body. It is produced by hot rolling, cold drawing and extrusion processes.

Features: high pressure resistance, uniform structure, high safety factor

Common grades: 20#, 45#, Q355, ST52, S355JR

Best for: high-pressure fluid transportation, machinery parts, engineering load-bearing structures

1.2 Welded Steel Pipe

Welded steel pipe is made by rolling steel plate and welding. It has low cost, large output and fast delivery.

Features: high dimensional accuracy, neat appearance, cost-effective

Common grades: Q235B, Q355B

Best for: construction structure, low-pressure water and gas delivery, fencing and support

1.3 Galvanized Steel Pipe

Hot-dip galvanized treatment provides excellent rust-proof and anti-corrosion performance.

Widely used in outdoor engineering, municipal water supply and building pipeline systems.

2. Executive Standards

Our steel pipes strictly comply with international export standards:

- Chinese Standard: GB/T 8163, GB/T 3091
