ere are some common specifications for seamless steel pipes (outer diameter × wall thickness, mm):

Hot-rolled pipe: Outer diameter: >38~630; Wall thickness: 3~80; Common specifications: 42×4, 50×5, 89×6, 108×4.5, 133×7, 159×6, 219×6, 273×8, 325×8.5

Cold-drawn (cold-rolled) pipe: Outer diameter: 6~720; Wall thickness: 0.25~120; Common specifications: 22×2.5, 25×2.5, 32×3, 38×4, 45×3

Common standards and materials:

Standards: GB/T 8162 (for structural use), GB/T 8163 (for fluid transport);

Materials: 10#, 20#, 35#, 45#, 16Mn, etc.

When purchasing, the following must be specified: the applicable standard, the intended use, the outer diameter, the wall thickness, and the tolerances.
