Manufacturing Method of JIS G3444 Grade STK500 Steel Pipe
The manufacturing method of STK500 steel Pipe shall be as follows:
STK500 steel tubes shall be fabricated using a combination of the tube production technique and the finishing method described in table 1. The tube may be subjected to suitable heat treatment if necessary.
If the client requests it, tubes can be produced from coated steel sheet or coated steel strip.
Bevel end finishing may be performed per the purchaser’s specifications, in which case the shape should be determined by the manufacturer and the purchaser’s consent.

Dimensional Tolerances of JIS G3444 STK500
- 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%。 |
