Scope
GB/T 5312-2025 is the English-translated version of 船舶用无缝钢管.
GB/T 5312-2025 is the Chinese national standard covering seamless pipe for a ship's pressure piping, boilers and superheaters, now covering stainless grades alongside carbon and carbon-manganese steel — the designations and chemical composition, the mechanical properties, with proof strength at high temperature in an informative annex, the hydraulic test and the allowable stress, the bend test, the pitting corrosion test for the stainless grades, the surface quality, the dimensional tolerances, and the sampling per lot. One document now covers both the carbon and the stainless pipe a ship needs, where before there were two. It replaces GB/T 5312-2009, taking in the stainless pipe standard GB/T 31928-2015. Under the China Iron and Steel Association. In force from 1 March 2026. Issued on 29 August 2025, it has been in force since 1 March 2026, replacing GB/T 5312-2009.

This Document was based on GB/T 5312-2009, integrating the contents of GB/T 31928-2015.Compared with GB/T 5312-2009 and GB/T 31928-2015, the major technical changes of this Document are as follows besides the structural adjustments and editorial modifications.
a) Change the scope of application (see Clause 1 of this Edition; Clause 1 of GB/T 5312- 2009 and Clause 1 of GB/T 31928-2015);
b) Add terms and definitions (see Clause 3 of this Edition);
c) Change the manufacturing method codes (see 4.2 of this Edition; 3.1 of GB/T 5312-2009);
d) Change the ordering details (see Clause 5 of this Edition; Clause 4 of GB/T 5312-2009 and Clause 4 of GB/T 31928-2015);
e) Add steel designations and corresponding technical requirements (see Tables 2~5 of this Edition);
f) Change the density of stainless steel (see Table 2 of this Edition; Table 5 of GB/T 31928-
2015);
g) Change the hydraulic test requirements and allowable stress (see 7.3 of this Edition; 6.5 of GB/T 5312-2009 and 6.5 of GB/T 31928-2015).
h) Change the bending test requirements (see 7.4.2 of this Edition; 6.6.2 of GB/T 5312-2009 and 6.6.2 of GB/T 31928-2015);
i) Change the pitting corrosion test requirements (see 7.6 of this Edition; 6.8 of GB/T 31928-
2015);
j) Change the surface quality requirements (see 7.8 of this Edition; 6.7 of GB/T 5312-2009 and 6.10 of GB/T 31928-2015);
k) Change the dimensional tolerances (see Tables 8 and 9 of this Edition; Table 2 of GB/T 5312-2009 and Tables 2 ~ 3 of GB/T 31928-2015);
l) Add a new clause of "Specimen" (see Clause 8 of this Edition);
m) Change the sampling quantities (see Table 10 of this Edition; Table 7 of GB/T5312-2009 Seamless Steel Tubes and Pipes for Ship
