Hot Expanded Seamless Steel Pipe–Large Diameter & High-Efficiency Solutions

Our Hot Expanded Seamless Steel Pipes provide a cost-effective alternative for projects requiring large-diameter piping without the high cost of traditional large-billet seamless manufacturing. By utilizing a specialized thermal-mechanical expansion process, we transform standard seamless mother pipes into larger diameters while maintaining structural integrity and meeting strict international engineering standards.


Common Standards and Steel Grades

We supply hot expanded pipes across a wide range of carbon and alloy grades to ensure compatibility with your project's specific pressure and temperature requirements:

ASTM A106 / ASME SA106: Grades B and C for high-temperature service.

ASTM A53: Grades A and B for general mechanical and pressure applications.

API 5L: Pipeline steel for oil and gas (Grades B, X42, X46, X52, X56, X60).

ASTM A335: Alloy steel grades for high-temp power generation (P11, P22, P91).

EN 10210 / EN 10219: Hot finished structural hollow sections (S235JR, S355JR).


Dimensional Range & Specifications

The hot expansion process is the ideal choice for large-bore piping where standard seamless production is limited:
