Manufacturing Method of JIS G3444 Grade STK490 Steel Pipe

The manufacturing method shall be as follows:

Tubes should be constructed in accordance with a combination of the tube production and finishing methods specified in the JIS standard. If necessary, the tube may be subjected to a suitable heat treatment.

Tubes may be manufactured using coated steel sheet or coated steel strip at the purchaser’s desire.

Bevel end finishing may be specified by the consumer, in which case the form will be determined by the maker and the purchaser.

Dimensional Tolerances of JIS G3444 STK490

- Outside Diameter Tolerance a)

Classification Outside Diameter b) Tolerances on Outside Diameter c) Applicable Division
Class 1 Under 50mm ± 0.5mm Applied when there is no specification. Applicable to hot-finished seamless steel tubes.
50mm or Over ± 1%
Class 2 Under 50mm ± 0.25mm Applied when there is a specification. Not applicable to hot-finished seamless steel tubes.
50mm or Over ± 0.5%
Notes a) For the local parts such as repaired parts if the wall thickness can be confirmed to be within the tolerance in the table below, the outside diameter tolerance of this table need not be applied.
b) The method for measuring the outside diameter of tubes exceeding 350mm in outside diameter may be determined by the circumferential length. The mutual conversion of outside diameter D and the circumferential length l shall be by the following formula:      D = l  / π Where D: outside diameter (mm)     l: circumferential length (mm)    π:3.1416
c) The tolerances on the outside diameter of ends of electric resistance welded and automatic arc welded steel tubes exceeding 350mm in outside diameter shall be ±0.5%。

- Wall Thickness Tolerance a)

Classification For Seamless Steel Tube For Other than Seamless Steel Tube Applicable Division
Wall Thickness Tolerance of Wall Thickness Wall Thickness Tolerance of Wall Thickness
Class 1 Under 4mm +0.6mm, -0.5mm Under 4mm +0.6mm, -0.5mm Applied when there is no specification. Applicable to hot-finished seamless steel tubes.
4mm or Over +15%, -12.5% 4mm or Over to and excl. 12mm +15%, -12.5%
12mm or Over +15%, -1.5mm
Class 2 Under 3mm ±0.3mm Under 3mm ± 0.3mm Applied when there is a specification. Not applicable to hot-finished seamless steel tubes.

12mm or Over +10%,-1.2mm
Notes a) The tolerances on the wall thickness of tubes exceeding 1016.0 mm in outside diameter may be agreed upon between the manufacturer and the purchaser.

Marking of JIS G3444 Steel Grade STK490

Each tube having passed the inspection shall be marked with the following items on each STK490 tube. For tubes of smaller outside diameter or when there is a special request by the purchaser, marking may be applied on a bundle. The order of arrangement of the markings is not specified. When approved by the purchaser, part of the items may be omitted.

  • Grade symbol
  • Symbol representing the manufacturing process. The following symbol should be used to indicate the production technique. However, a space may be used in place of the dash.
    1. As welded steel tube with electric resistance: -E-G
    2. Hot finished electric resistance welded steel tube:  -E-H
    3. Cold finished electric resistance welded steel tube:  -E-C
    4. Butt welded steel tube:  -B
    5. Automatic arc welded steel tube:  -A
  • Measurements Outside diameter and wall thickness should be noted for dimensions.
  • The manufacturer’s name or an abbreviation of the manufacturer’s name
  • Symbol representing the coating kind (in the case of using coated steel sheet or coated steel strip). The maker and purchaser shall agree on the symbol’s abbreviation.
