The specifications, applications and benefits of GOST 8734-75 seamless steel pipe (Steel 20)
If you are purchasing steel pipes for mechanical or industrial purposes, especially in Russia, Eastern Europe or CIS countries, the GOST 8734-75 seamless steel pipes recently provided by Haihao Group to Russian customers are a good choice. Below I will introduce you to the specifications, chemical composition, mechanical properties and various application scenarios of GOST 8734-75 seamless steel pipes (This article mainly introduces the seamless steel pipe made by cold forming of No. 20 steel).
What is GOST 8734-75?
GOST 8734-75 is a Soviet-era Russian standard that specifies the dimensions and technical requirements for cold-formed seamless steel tubes. It covers tubes with an outer diameter range of 1 mm to 200 mm and a wall thickness range of 0.2 mm to 22 mm. The cold-forming process ensures greater dimensional accuracy, better surface finish, and higher mechanical strength compared to hot-formed tubes.

Chemical And Mechanical Composition of Grade 20 (Steel 20)
According to GOST, the chemical composition of seamless steel pipe we produced for Russian Customer is:
Element | Content (%) |
C | 0.17 – 0.24 |
Mn | 0.35 – 0.65 |
Si | 0.17 – 0.37 |
P | ≤ 0.03 |
S | ≤ 0.035 |
Cr | ≤ 0.25 |
Cu | ≤ 0.30 |
Ni | ≤ 0.30 |
The Mechanical Properties at Room Temperature is:
Ultimate tensile strength | 412 MPa |
Yield strength | 245 MPa |
Elongation | 0.21 |
Hardness | ≤ 156 HB |
These values make Grade 20 suitable for medium-load applications with good machinability and weldability.
Advantages of GOST 8734-75 seamless pipes
