JIS G3452 Carbon Steel Tube Seamless Cold Drawn Pipes For Ordinary Piping

The JIS G3452 Carbon Steel Tube (Seamless Cold Drawn for Ordinary Piping) is a low-carbon, cold-finished seamless pipe designed for conveying steam, water, oil, gas and air at moderate pressures. It offers excellent weldability, formability and dimensional accuracy, making it ideal for general-purpose piping systems. Below is a detailed, professional overview—including dimensions, chemical and mechanical comparisons with five equivalent grades, key features, applicable standards and typical applications.

Material

Type: Carbon steel seamless tube, cold drawn finish
Description: This pipe is manufactured from low-carbon steel via cold-drawing to achieve precise tolerances, smooth surface finish and enhanced mechanical properties. It is free from weld seams and ideal for pressurized piping in industrial installations.
