High-pressure carbon steel pipes are commonly made of high-quality carbon steel, low-alloy steel, and heat-resistant alloy steel. Chinese suppliers offer 20#, 45#, 16Mn (Q345B), 12CrMoG, and 15CrMoG. Exported to the US standard, they commonly use ASTM A106 Gr.B, Gr.C, and API 5L series, meeting the high-pressure fluid transportation needs under various pressure and high-temperature conditions.
High-pressure carbon steel pipes are mainly used for high-temperature, high-pressure, and heavy-duty fluid transportation and pressure-bearing structural applications with pressure ≥10MPa. The materials are primarily high-quality carbon steel and low-alloy heat-resistant carbon steel.
