Product Name: Carbon Steel Tubes for Machine Structural Purposes
Designation: S11212-021 (JIS G 3445: STB 021)
Standard: JIS G 3445 (Japanese Industrial Standard)
Note: This grade is the Japanese equivalent of ASTM A179 / A214 (Seamless) and covers similar applications.
| Parameter Category | Parameter | Value / Description | Notes & Interpretation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Designation Decoding | S11212 | Indicates a carbon steel tube. | The “12” typically refers to a specific carbon content range. |
| -021 | The suffix “-021” specifically denotes the grade “STB 021” under JIS G 3445. | “STB” stands for “Steel Tube Boiler” or “Structural Tubing Carbon”. | |
| Mechanical Properties | Tensile Strength (Rm) | ≥ 315 MPa | This is a minimum requirement. |
| Yield Strength (Rp0.2) | Not Specified (N/S) | For this grade, yield strength is typically not a controlling factor. | |
| Elongation (A), min | ≥ 30% | Measured on a standard test piece. Indicates good ductility. | |
| Hardness | Not Specified (N/S) | ||
| Chemical Composition (Max %) | Carbon (C) | 0.08 – 0.13% | Low carbon content ensures excellent weldability and formability. |
| Manganese (Mn) | 0.30 – 0.60% | ||
| Phosphorus (P) | ≤ 0.040% | Impurity, controlled for weldability and to prevent embrittlement. | |
| Sulfur (S) | ≤ 0.040% | Impurity, controlled to improve hot workability and surface finish. | |
| Silicon (Si) | Remarks: May be added as a killing agent. | Typically, Silicon is not specified but may be present up to ~0.10%. | |
| Dimensional Standards | Manufacturing Process | Seamless or Welded & Cold-Drawn | The standard covers both, but the final product is typically cold-drawn for precise dimensions. |
| Tolerances | Strict dimensional and wall thickness tolerances. | Governed by JIS G 3445. Defines deviations for outer diameter, wall thickness, and length. | |
| Physical Properties | Surface Finish | Smooth, bright finish | Characteristic of cold-drawn tubes. |
| Density | 7.85 g/cm³ | Standard for carbon steel. | |
| Processing & Applications | Weldability | Excellent | Due to its very low carbon content. Can be easily welded by all standard methods. |
| Formability | Excellent | Easily bent, flared, and flanged. | |
| Typical Applications | – Low/Medium-pressure boiler tubes – Heat exchanger tubes – Heat condenser tubes – Air pre-heaters – General mechanical structural parts requiring precise dimensions and good surface finish. | Used in applications where pressure and temperature are relatively low but precise dimensions and reliability are key. |
