PROGRESSO
A reliable seamless pipe for pressure and structure
20# is a high-quality carbon structural steel widely used for seamless pipes. Produced by hot rolling or cold drawing without any weld seam, it delivers a smooth bore, uniform wall and dependable pressure resistance to GB/T 8163 (fluid service) E GB/T 8162 (structural service).
With a balanced composition of carbon, silicon and manganese, 20# pipe offers good strength, excellent machinability and weldability, and stable performance at moderate temperatures — the first-choice material for conveying water, aria, petrolio e gas, for boiler and heat-exchanger tubing, and for machined shafts and cylinders.
Why choose 20# seamless pipe
Chemical composition (wt%) — GB/T 8163 · 8162, Grado 20#
| Elemento | Carbonio (C) | Silicon (E) | Manganese (Mn) | Zolfo (S) | Phosphorus (P) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Contenuto | 0.17 – 0.24 | 0.17 – 0.37 | 0.35 – 0.65 | ≤ 0.035 | ≤ 0.035 |
Note: single values are maximum limits. Residual elements Cr ≤ 0.25, Ni ≤ 0.30, Cu ≤ 0.25 per standard. Heat analysis applies to ladle samples.
