High-quality Carbon Steel Pipes For Low And Medium-pressure Boilers
Gb 3087 grade 10 seamless pipes, compliant with gb 3087-2008, are high-quality carbon structural steel pipes designed for low and medium-pressure boilers, offering excellent plasticity and weldability for heating surfaces and steam pipelines.
GB 3087 Grade 10 seamless pipes, compliant with GB 3087-2008, are high-quality carbon structural steel pipes designed for low and medium-pressure boilers operating at pressures ≤5.9 MPa. These pipes are manufactured using seamless processes, either hot-rolled (extruded, expanded) or cold-drawn (rolled), ensuring uniformity in quality and strength. They are suitable for heating surfaces with wall temperatures ≤480°C and headers or steam pipes with wall temperatures ≤430°C, as specified by the standard.
Available in outer diameters from 33 mm to 323 mm and wall thicknesses from 3.2 mm to 21 mm, GB 3087 Grade 10 seamless pipes offer excellent mechanical properties, including high strength and superior plasticity. The manufacturing process involves electric furnace, oxygen converter, or open-hearth smelting, with tube blanks produced via hot rolling, continuous casting, or steel ingots. Normalizing heat treatment at 900–940°C enhances mechanical properties, while rigorous testing (hydraulic, flattening, flaring, and optional ultrasonic) ensures defect-free surfaces and compliance with GB/T 699 for chemical composition.
Compared to Grade 20 or alloy steel grades like 15CrMo, Grade 10 offers better plasticity and weldability, making it ideal for manual welding (e.g., using E4303 or E4315 electrodes) or gas-shielded welding without preheating or post-weld heat treatment. These pipes are widely used in industrial boilers, heat exchangers, and locomotive boilers for applications such as superheater tubes, steam pipelines, and headers. Surface finishes like varnishing or galvanizing prevent rust, and pipes are delivered in hot-rolled or heat-treated conditions with plain, beveled, or threaded ends.
GB 3087 Grade 10 seamless pipes provide a cost-effective, reliable solution for low and medium-pressure boiler systems, ensuring durability and performance in demanding industrial environments.
