16mn seamless steel pipe is one of the materials of seamless steel pipe. Now we all call it Q345B seamless steel pipe. The similar materials are Q345C, Q345D and Q345E. The quality grade symbol ABCDE indicates that impact test is not required. The impact test temperature is+20 ° 0 ° - 20 ° 40 °.

Yield strength and chemical composition of 16mn seamless steel pipe:

16mn seamless steel pipe is a low alloy high-strength structural steel, with a carbon content of 0.1% - 0.25%. The main alloy elements such as manganese, silicon, vanadium, silver and titanium are added; Its total alloy content is less than 3%. According to the strength, it can be divided into four levels: 300, 350, 400 and 450MPa. It mainly includes Q295, Q345, Q390, Q420 and Q460.

"Q" is the initial of the Chinese phonetic alphabet of the yielding character "Qu", followed by the number of the minimum yield point (as) value of the brand, and the following symbol is divided into A, B, C, D according to the content of impurity elements (sulfur, phosphorus) in the steel from high to low, accompanied by changes in carbon and manganese.

Chemical composition of 16Mn seamless steel pipe: C: 0.12~0.20; Mn:1.20~1.60; Si:0.20~0.55; Tensile strength: 470~660 N/mm2; Yield strength: 275~345 N/mm2; Elongation: 21%.

　　Seamless steel pipe actual bearing pressure may be affected by many factors such as the quality of the pipe, processing technology, and use environment Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions Email : pipe@stpipefitting.cn
(SMLS pipe) is a type of pipe produced without welds by deforming the metal as a whole using piercing and rolling techniques. Compared to welded steel pipe, its core advantage stems from the continuity of the material and the uniformity of its structure, providing superior reliability and safety under high pressure, high temperature, and complex stress environments. This makes seamless steel pipe a fundamental and reliable material in the petroleum, chemical, natural gas, and power industries for critical processes and the transportation of hazardous media.

Seamless carbon steel pipe Sch 40

Sep .15.2026

Seamless Carbon Steel Pipe Sch 40 (Schedule 40) is a seamless steel pipe specification that meets the American standard. Its pipe wall thickness is Sch40 (corresponding to the standard wall thickness series), which represents the standard wall thickness under a specific pressure level and is often used in occasions with higher pressure and temperature.

Schedule 80 Carbon Steel Pipe: Thickness, Dimensions & Weight in mm

Sep .10.2026

Schedule 80 Carbon Steel Pipe is made up of carbon steel materials. The carbon steels can vary in composition based on the grades. The strengths and the toughness vary. To have an international and equal identification of the pressure capacities of the pipes, the schedule scale is used. The wall thickness grades of the steel pipe range from Schedule (SCH) 5 to Schedule (SCH) 160. SCH 5 has the lowest pressure resistance, while SCH 160 has the highest.
