Structural

Structural engineering demands materials with superior strength, stability, and durability.

We offer a comprehensive range of premium structural products to meet your diverse application needs. Find the ideal material for your project in our various product groups.

Steel construction requires the highest quality standards at both low and high temperatures. Many of our products are used primarily in the construction of bridges, buildings, stadiums, cranes and offshore platforms. The wide range of quality products from our company covers a variety of your applications. Find the material you need for your purpose in our various product groups.

All structural tubes undergo strict mechanical and impact testing to guarantee long-term structural safety under alternating temperature and heavy static/dynamic loads. We provide hot rolled large-diameter heavy wall tubes for main load-bearing frames and cold drawn precision thin-wall tubes for secondary support structures, covering all construction load and climate working conditions worldwide.

Global Standards For Construction Structural Seamless Tubes

Standard System Standard Code Main Application Scope
Chinese GB Standard GB/T 8162 Domestic building frame, bridge support, crane structural pipe
US ASTM Standard ASTM A106 Gr.B, ASTM A500 Overseas building, municipal infrastructure structural tubing
European EN Standard EN 10210, EN 10216 European construction, stadium and crane frame projects
Cold Drawn Precision Standard GB/T 3639, EN 10305 Thin wall secondary support, decorative steel frame

Common Structural Steel Grades & Project Matching

Steel Grade Material Feature Typical Construction Usage
20# / A106 Gr.B Mild carbon steel, good weldability General building secondary support, indoor frame structure
16Mn / Q345 Low alloy high strength, low temperature impact resistance Bridges, tower cranes, offshore platform frames, cold region buildings
ST52 / E355 High yield strength, excellent bending performance Mobile crane chassis, stadium curved load-bearing beams
45# Medium Carbon High hardness after heat treatment Crane shaft sleeves, heavy load connecting structural parts

Q345 / 16Mn low alloy steel is the preferred material for outdoor, low-temperature and heavy-load infrastructure due to outstanding toughness and weather resistance.

Hot Products

【H】 Ceramic lined pipe

Ceramic lined pipe is made through self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) technique.

【H】 Cast basalt lined steel pipe

Cast basalt lined steel pipe is composed by lined with cast basalt pipe, outside steel pipe and cement mortar filling between the two layers.

【H】 Ceramic Tile Lined Pipes

Ceramic tile lined pipes have very uniform coating of specially formulated ceramic material that is affixed to the inner of the pipe.

【H】 Rare earth alloy wear-resistant pipe

The material of the rare earth alloy wear-resistant pipe is ZG40CrMnMoNiSiRe, which is also the grade of rare earth alloy steel.

【H】 Tubes Erosion Shields

Tubes Erosion Shields are used to protect boiler tubing from the highly erosive effects of high temperatures and pressures thereby greatly extending tube life.

【H】 ASTM A213 T91 Alloy Tube

The ASTM A213 T91 seamless tubes are primarily used for boiler, superheater, and heat-exchanger.
