3 Classification and Code
The steel tube can be divided into three types, such as straight tube, U-shaped tube
and serpentine tube according to the product shape. The outline diagram and size
code of U-shaped tube can refer to Figure 1; while the schematic diagram of serpentine
tube can refer to Figure 2.
Key:
1 – header;
2 – serpentine tube;
r – bending radius, in mm;
β – flatness, in mm.
NOTE: The header is the equipment component that connects with the serpentine tube, it does
not belong to the specified scope of this Standard.

4 Ordering Contents
The contract or ordering form ordering the steel tubes according to this Standard shall
include but not limited to the following contents:
a) This Standard number;
b) Product name;
c) Steel designation;
d) Product shape (straight tube, U-shaped tube or serpentine tube);
e) Drawing or size specification (nominal outer diameter × wall thickness × length
of straight tube section, bending radius, in mm);
f) Ordering quantity (total weight or total length);
g) Package requirements;
h) Special requirements.
5 Size, Shape, Weight and Allowable Deviation
5.1 Outer diameter
5.1.1 The nominal diameter of the steel tube is generally 12mm~32mm.
5.1.2 The allowable deviation for the outer diameter of the straight section of steel tube
shall conform to the provisions of Table 1.
ring gauge shall be the maximum allowable outer diameter of the steel tube; its
allowable deviation is +0.05 0 mm; its length shall be no less than 50mm. The degree of
bending for the straight section of other shape of steel tube shall be no more than
1.5mm/m. Through the negotiation between the supplier and the purchaser, indicated
in the contract, take other methods to check the degree of bending of the steel tube.
5.4.6 For U-shaped tube, the flatness β of the elbow measured at the two tangent
points shall not exceed 1.5mm (see Figure 1). For serpentine tube, unless otherwise
is specified, the flatness β of the elbow shall not exceed 4.0mm.
5.4.7 The actual size and shape of the serpentine tube shall conform to the provisions
of the drawings.
5.5 Weight
The steel tube shall be delivered according to the theoretical weight. The theoretical
weight per square meter of the steel tube shall be calculated as per Formula (2):
Where:
W – theoretical weight of steel tube per meter, in kg/m;
π- 3.1416;
ρ – the density of the steel, in kg/dm3; austenitic stainless steel is 7.93, other steel is
7.85;
S – wall thickness of steel tube, in mm; the steel tube delivered by the minimum wall
thickness shall take the average value between the allowable max. wall thickness and
the allowable min. wall thickness;
D – nominal outer diameter of the steel tube, in mm.
6 Technical Requirements
6.1 Designations and chemical compositions of steel
6.1.1 The designations and chemical compositions (smelting analysis) of steel shall
conform to the provisions of Table 5. According to the requirements of the purchaser,
through the negotiation between the supplier and the purchaser, indicated in the
contract, the steel tubes with other requirements of chemical compositions may be
supplied.
6.5.3 The blind area on the tube end during the hydraulic test shall be removed.
6.6 Process performance
6.6.1 Flattening
The steel tube shall be conducted the flattening test. The flattening test shall be carried
out as per the following two steps:
a) The first step is ductility test. Press the specimen till the distance between two
plates is H; the Value-H shall be calculated as per Formula (4). When the
specimen is pressed to the distance H between two plates, there shall be no
cracks or breakages on the specimen.
Where:
H – distance between two plates, in mm;
α – deformation coefficient per unit length; 0.09 for austenitic stainless-steel, and
0.08 for other steels;
S – wall thickness of steel tube, in mm;
D – nominal outer diameter of steel tube, in mm.
b) The second step is integrity test (closed flattening). The flattening shall be
continued till the specimen breaks or the two opposite walls of the specimen
collide. During the whole flattening test period, the specimen shall not appear
visible delamination, white spots and inclusions.
6.6.2 Flaring
The steel tube shall be conducted the flaring test. The top core taper of the flaring test
is 60°. The flaring ratio of the outer diameter of the specimen after flaring shall conform
to the provisions of Table 8. After flaring, the specimen shall not appear cracks or
breaches.
determined by the supplier; or determined through the negotiation between the
supplier and the purchaser; and indicated in the contract.
8 Test Methods
8.1 The analysis sampling for the chemical compositions of the steel tube shall be
conducted as per the rules specified in GB/T 20066. The analysis of chemical
compositions is generally conducted as per GB/T 4336, GB/T 11170, GB/T 20123,
GB/T 20124 or other general methods. The arbitration shall be conducted as per the
provisions of GB/T 223.5, GB/T 223.11, GB/T 223.12, GB/T 223.14, GB/T 223.19,
GB/T 223.23, GB/T 223.25, GB/T 223.26, GB/T 223.36, GB/T 223.59, GB/T 223.63,
GB/T 223.85, GB/T 223.86.
8.2 The dimensions of steel tubes shall be measure one by one by the measuring
gauges that meet the accuracy requirements.
8.3 The inner and outer surfaces of the steel tubes shall be visually inspected one by
one under full lighting conditions.
8.4 The sampling quantity, sampling method and test methods of other inspection
items of the steel tubes shall conform to the provisions of Table 10.
