Yaang Steel offer an extensive range of Seamless steel pipes for low temperature sevice. Low temperature service seamless pipes are application for low-temperature pressure container piping by the main standard GB/T18984-2003, ASTM/ASME A/SA333 with steel grade 16MnDG, 10MnDG, A333 Gr.1, A333 Gr.6, A333Gr.3.
GB/T18984-2003 standard suitable for -49 to -148 degrees F cryogenic pressure vessel piping, and low-temperature heat exchanger tubes seamless steel pipe.
ASTM/ASME A/SA-333 Grades allow for cold temperature service to minus 150 degrees F. Material is always provided in the normalized condition at a minimum and Charpy Impact tested to a specific temperature range to assure compliance with the required service temperature.

This specification covers seamless and welded steel pipe for low temperature service. The Grade 6 alloy steel involved is similar to AISI 4032 low alloy steel.
