Foreword

ChinaStandards.net is in charge of this English translation. In case of any doubt about the
English translation, the Chinese original shall be considered authoritative.

This standard is developed in accordance with the rules given in GB/T 1.1-2020 Directives
for standardization - Part 1: Rules for the structure and drafting of standardizing
documents.

This document replaces GB/T 24187-2009 Cold-drawn precision single welded steel
tubes. In addition to structural adjustments and editorial changes, the following main
technical changes have been made with respect to GB/T 24187-2009:

a) the types of surface states of steel tubes have been added (see 4.3);

b) the dimensional precision has been deleted from the order contents (see Clause 4 of
Edition 2009);

c) the allowable deviation of outer diameter has been changed, and the requirement of
delivery according to ordinary precision for allowable deviation of outer diameter has been
added (see 6.1.2 hereof; 5.1.2 of Edition 2009);

d) the allowable deviation for wall thickness has been modified (see 6.1.3 hereof; 5.1.3
of Edition 2009);

e) the requirements for mechanical property of steel tapes have been deleted (see 6.1.2
of Edition 2009);

f) the requirements for manufacturing method of steel tubes have been modified (see
7.2 hereof; 6.2 of Edition 2009);

g) the requirements for mechanical property of steel tubes have been modified (see 7.3
hereof; 6.3 of Edition 2009);

h) the requirements for drift expanding test have been modified (see 7.4.2 hereof; 6.4.2
of Edition 2009);

i) the requirements for air tightness test have been modified (see 7.6 hereof; 6.6 of
Edition 2009);

j) the seal pressure for nitrogen filling has been modified (see 7.7 hereof; 6.7 of Edition
2009);
