Product Overview

Q355B (formerly Q345B) is a low-alloy high-strength carbon structural steel pipe, which is the upgraded grade of Q235B for heavy load scenarios. Its international equivalent grades include **EN S355JR, ASTM A53 Grade B and JIS STK490 high strength level**, and it is widely used in load-bearing structural projects worldwide.

This pipe is manufactured by ERW welding or seamless process, produced in strict accordance with GB/T 1591, ASTM A53, EN 10210 and JIS G3452 standards. Available nominal pipe size covers NPS 1″ to 24″ (DN25 – DN600), with common wall thickness schedules including Schedule 40, Schedule 80, Schedule 160 and extra thick specifications. Standard length is 6m and 12m, custom length from 3m to 18m is available. Pipe end processing includes plain cut, welding bevel and threaded end.

Q355B / Q345B / S355JR carbon steel pipe is mainly used in heavy plant steel frames, bridge structural components, mechanical equipment bases, medium-pressure fluid pipelines, lifting equipment structures, port facilities and heavy support frames. We can provide secondary processing services such as cutting, beveling, galvanizing, 3PE anti-corrosion coating and fireproof coating.
