Application of GOST 8732-78 Seamless Steel Pipes

Thanks to their excellent mechanical strength, stable performance at low temperatures, and reliability under high pressure, GOST 8732-78 carbon seamless steel pipes are widely used in the following industries:

1. Oil & Gas: Pipelines transporting oil and natural gas under high-pressure or extreme-temperature conditions.

2. Power Generation: High-pressure steam pipes for power plants, boilers, and thermal systems.

3. Cryogenic Engineering: Suitable for low-temperature environments due to excellent toughness (especially 09G2S-grade alloys).

4. Chemical Processing: Used in chemical reactors, corrosive pipelines, and high-pressure processing systems.

5. Pressure Vessels: Ideal for tanks and vessels designed to store or transport pressurized gases and liquids.

6. Structural & Mechanical Engineering: Applied in machinery manufacturing and structural components requiring high strength and reliability.
