JIS G 3456 Grade Classification

The JIS G 3456 standard has three grades according to the tensile strength of the pipe.

STPT370,STPT410 and STPT480

They represent tubes with a minimum tensile strength of 370, 410, and 480 N/mm² (MPa) respectively.

Raw Materials

The pipes shall be manufactured from killed steel.

Killed steel is a special type of steel characterized by the addition of specific elements, such as aluminum and silicon, during the melting process to absorb and bind oxygen and other harmful impurities in the steel.

This process effectively removes gases and impurities, thereby improving the purity and uniformity of the steel.

JIS G 3456 Manufacturing Processes

Produced using an appropriate combination of tube manufacturing processes and finishing methods.

For STPT 480 grade pipe, only seamless steel pipe shall be used.

If resistance welding is used, the welds on the inner and outer surfaces of the pipe shall be removed to obtain a smooth weld.

Pipe End

The pipe should be flat end.

If the pipe is required to be processed into a beveled end, for wall thickness ≤ 22mm steel pipe, the angle of the bevel is 30-35°,  bevel width of the steel pipe edge: is max 2.4mm.

Wall thickness greater than 22mm steel pipe sloping end, generally processed as a composite bevel, the implementation of standards can refer to the relevant requirements of ASME B36.19.

Tensile Test of JIS G 3456

Test Methods: The test methods shall conform to the standards in JIS Z.2241.

The pipe shall meet the requirements given in Table 4 for tensile strength, yield strength, and elongation.

JIS G 3456 Tensile Test Table 4

The test piece used shall be of No. 11, No. 12 (No. 12A, No. 12B, or No. 12C), No. 14A, No. 4 or No. 5 specified in JIS Z 2241.

The diameter of Test piece No. 4 shall be 14 mm (gauge length 50 mm).

Test pieces No. 11 and No. 12 shall be taken in parallel to the pipe axis,

Test pieces No. 14A and No. 4, either in parallel or perpendicular to the pipe axis,

and Test piece No. 5, in perpendicular to the pipe axis.

Test piece No. 12 or No. 5 taken from the electric resistance welded steel pipe shall not contain the weld.

For the tensile test of pipes under 8 mm in thickness performed using Test piece No. 12 or Test piece No. 5, the elongation requirement given in Table 5 shall apply.

JIS G 3456 Tensile Test Table 5

Flattening Experiment

At room temperature (5°C - 35°C), flatten the specimen between two platforms until it distance (H) between them reaches the specified value and then check for cracks.

H=(1+e)t/(e+t/D)

н: distance between platens (mm)

t: wall thickness of pipe (mm)

D: outside diameter of pipe (mm)

е: constant defined for each grade of pipe:

                 0.08 for STPT370,

                 0.07 for STPT410 and STPT480

Bendability Test

Bendability is applicable to pipes with an outside diameter of 60.5 mm or less.

Test method At room temperature (5°C to 35°C), bend the test piece around the mandrel until the inner radius is 6 times the outer diameter of the pipe and check for cracks. In this test, the weld should be located approximately 90° from the outermost part of the bend.

The Bendability test can also be carried out in accordance with the requirement that the inner radius is four times the outer diameter of the pipe and the bend angle is 180°.

Hydraulic Test or Nondestructive Test (NDT)

A hydraulic test or non-destructive test shall be performed on each pipe.

Hydraulic Test

Hold the pipe at least at the minimum hydraulic test pressure specified for at least 5 seconds and observe that the pipe is able to withstand the pressure without leakage.

The Hydraulic time is specified according to the steel pipe Schedule.

Table 6 Minimum hydraulic test pressure
Nominal wall thickness Schedule number: Sch
10 20 30 40 60 80 100 120 140 160
Minimum hydraulic test pressure, Mpa 2.0 3.5 5.0 6.0 9.0 12 15 18 20 20

Nondestructive Test

If ultrasonic inspection is used, signals from reference samples containing UD-type reference standards, as specified in JIS G 0582, shall be used as alarm levels; any signal from the pipe equal to or greater than the alarm level shall be rejected. In addition, the minimum depth of square recesses for testing pipes, other than cold finishing, shall be 0.3 mm.

If eddy current inspection is used, signals from an EY type reference standard as specified in JIS G 0583 shall be used as the alarm level; any signal from the pipe equal to or greater than the alarm level shall be a reason for rejection.

Pipe Weight Chart and Pipe Schedules of JIS G 3456

Steel Pipe Weight Calculation Formula

Assume a density of 7.85 g/cm³ for the steel tube and round the result to three significant figures.

W=0.02466t(D-t)

W: unit mass of pipe (kg/m)

t: wall thickness of pipe (mm)

D: outside diameter of pipe (mm)

0.02466: conversion factor for obtaining W

Pipe Weight Chart

Pipe weight tables and schedules are important references that are commonly used in pipeline engineering.

Pipe Schedules

A schedule is a standardized combination of wall thickness and the nominal diameter of a pipe. 

Schedule 40 and Schedule 80 steel tubes are widely used in industry and construction. They are common pipe sizes with different wall thicknesses and capacities for different application scenarios.
