The Difference between 20# Seamless Steel Pipe and 20G Seamless Steel Pipe

 20# and 20G are the material of seamless steel pipe. 20G steel pipe uses GB5310 national standard steel grade, and 20# steel pipe uses GBT 699-1999&GBT 3639-2008. The national standard numbers of the two steel pipes are



different, and their uses, characteristics, and prices are also different.


1. The difference in usage.

20# seamless steel pipes are structural pipes, fluid pipes, and low and medium pressure boiler pipes. 20G seamless steel pipes are used to manufacture high-pressure and higher-parameter boiler pipe fittings. Both of them contain carbon content, but 20G seamless steel pipes also have some trace elements, which are better for make boiler pressure vessels. 


2. The difference in characteristics.

The characteristic strength of 20# seamless steel pipe is higher than 15# steel. It is rarely quenched and has no temper brittleness. Cold deformation has high plasticity and able to bending, rolling and hammer arching. The welding performance of arc welding and contact welding is good. The thickness is small during gas welding, and cracks are easy to occur on parts with strict requirements or complex shapes. The cold drawn or normalized state of machinability is better than the annealed state.

20G seamless steel pipes have strict requirements on the steel grades used in the manufacture of steel pipes. It is required to have high endurance strength, high oxidation and corrosion resistance, and good structural stability.


3. The difference in price.

Due to the manufacturing process and composition of 20G seamless steel pipe, the price of it will be higher than 20# seamless steel pipe.

The Method of Extending the Service Life of Seamless Pipe

图片
Seamless steel pipes   have hollow sections and are widely used as pipes for conveying fluids, such as pipes for conveying oil, natural gas, gas, water and certain solid materials. The seamless pipe has a certain corrosion resistance, but in order to prolong the service life of the seamless pipe in some extreme environments, it is necessary to remove the oxide layer on the surface of the product. The main cleaning method is pickling. After cleaning, electrolytic cleaning is required again. 1. The seamless steel pipe must wear labor protection supplies before pickling. The on-site working environment should also be checked in detail, mainly to check whether the hoisting of the steel pipe is intact, and work can only be carried out after confirming that it is intact. 2. When pickling seamless steel pipes, the pickling method is mainly hydrochloric acid pickling. Usually, the content of hydrochloric acid is preferably 18% to 20%. 3. The staff also need to know the concentration and temper

Methods of Connecting Spiral Pipes

图片
The most commonly used method of connecting   large-diameter spiral steel pipes   is welding. However, manufacturers also use threaded connections, flange connections, socket connections, and groove connections in projects. In the post,   Xiangjiasteel   would like to introduce you some details about three main connections. 1. Welding and Flange Connection Welding and flange connections are traditional methods of connecting spiral pipes. These methods do not fully meet market demands in terms of safety, sealing performance, cost efficiency, and repair efficiency. They are mainly used for water transmission pipelines, oil and gas pipelines, chemical pipelines, and power pipelines. 2. Clamp Fitting Connection Clamp fitting connections are an advanced method of pipe connections. They can be used for both exposed and buried installations, accommodating both rigid and flexible joints.  3. Groove Fitting Connection Groove fitting connections, also known as clamp connections, have become the

Exploring the Importance of Drill Pipe

图片
Oil Country Tubular Goods   (OCTG) are vital components in oil and gas drilling activities. The term OCTG refers to a range of piping products specifically designed for use in the production of oil and gas. These products include drill pipes, casing pipes, tubing pipes, couplings, connections, and accessories. In this article, we will focus on the significance of drill pipes, one of the three main types of OCTG pipes. A drill pipe is a robust, seamless tube that serves a crucial role in drilling operations. It facilitates the rotation of the drill bit and allows the circulation of drilling fluid. This fluid helps in pumping through the drill bit and flowing back up the annulus, the space between the casing and the piping. The Importance of Drill Pipe in OCTG Endeavors: Drill pipes are designed to withstand axial tension, high torque, and internal pressure. Their strength and durability make them indispensable in the oil and gas industry. Here are some key reasons why drill pipes are cr
