20# Carbon Steel Seamless Pipe: Properties, Sizes and Applications
A 20# carbon steel seamless pipe is the standard tubing material for boilers, pressure lines, shafts and general machinery. This article explains the 20# grade, its chemical and mechanical properties, standard sizes, and the difference between seamless and welded pipe. All sizes are available as 20# carbon steel seamless pipe from QIDAMT.
What Is 20# Seamless Steel Pipe?
“20#” is a Chinese designation for a high-quality carbon structural steel with a nominal carbon content of about 0.20 %, produced to กิกะไบต์/ที 8162 (seamless steel tubes for structural purposes) or กิกะไบต์/ที 8163 (seamless steel tubes for liquid service). The pipe is pierced and rolled from a solid billet without any weld seam, which gives it uniform strength around the circumference and makes it suitable for pressure and high-stress service.

Standard lengths: 6 m and 12 m (fixed or random). พื้นผิว: black (mill scale), pickled & oiled, or painted. Ends: plain or beveled for welding.
Seamless vs Welded Pipe
Seamless pipe is formed from a solid billet, so it has no longitudinal weld — it is preferred for pressure, high-temperature and dynamic-loading service. Welded pipe is more economical for large volumes and non-critical lines. For structural frameworks around your piping, QIDAMT also supplies Q235B square tube และ แผ่นเหล็ก Q235B.
การใช้งาน
20# seamless pipe is used for boiler tubes, เครื่องแลกเปลี่ยนความร้อน, hydraulic cylinders, shafts, structural supports, gas and liquid transmission lines, and general machinery parts. For higher-strength structural steel in the same project, consider Q355B low alloy high strength steel plate.
Buying Checklist
- Specify OD × wall × length and the standard (กิกะไบต์/ที 8162 or 8163).
- Confirm surface and end preparation (plain or beveled).
- Ask about hydrostatic test, flattening test and ultrasonic test certificates.
- Request the mill certificate and, for critical service, third-party inspection.
- Bundle small-diameter pipes on steel pallets for safe ocean shipment.
Send OD, wall thickness, length and quantity — we will confirm price, stock and delivery within 24 hours.
