The Price of American Standard SMLS Pipe in the International Market

Date:2025-05-20    keywords: smls pipes, seamless pipes, stainless steel seamless pipe

American standard smls pipe is a weldless steel pipe produced according to American standards and is widely used in petroleum, chemical, electric power and machinery manufacturing and other fields. Its standard system is mainly based on ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers) and ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials). Common standards include ASME B16.9 (pipe fittings standard) and ASTM A106 (seamless carbon steel pipes for high temperature use). The materials include carbon steel (such as A106 Gr.B), alloy steel (such as A335 Gr.P91) and stainless steel (such as A312 Gr.304), which have the characteristics of high strength, corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance.

 

The specifications of American standard seamless pipes are in inches, with nominal diameters (NPS) ranging from 1/8" to 48", wall thickness is expressed in Schedule grades (such as Sch40, Sch80), and pressure grades are clearly divided. Its production processes include hot rolling, cold rolling/cold drawing, and various surface treatments (such as seamless black pipe, galvanizing, and painting) to meet the needs of different working conditions. Due to strict standards and mature technology, American standard smls pipes are highly versatile in international projects and are particularly suitable for high pressure, high temperature and corrosive environments.

 

The main factors affecting the price of American standard smls pipes


1. Material: Different steel grades vary greatly in price. For example, carbon steel pipes (such as A53 Gr. B) are usually cheaper than alloy steel pipes (such as A335 P91) or stainless steel pipes (such as 316L), and high-temperature alloy steels are more expensive.
2. Specifications: The outer diameter, wall thickness and length of the steel pipe will affect the price. Generally speaking, the larger the diameter and the thicker the wall, the higher the price.
3. Manufacturing Process: Hot rolled steel pipe is generally cheaper than cold drawn steel pipe.
4. Surface treatment: If special surface treatment is required, such as galvanizing, anti-corrosion coating, etc., it will increase the cost.
5. Market supply and demand relationship: Fluctuations in the supply and demand relationship in the international market will directly affect the price of steel pipes. When demand is greater than supply, prices will rise; otherwise, they will fall.
6. Raw material prices: Price fluctuations of steel raw materials, such as iron ore and coke, will also affect the price of steel pipes.
7. Production cost: The production costs (including labor, energy, environmental protection, etc.) vary in different countries and regions, which will also affect the price of steel pipes.
8. Transportation cost: In international trade, the transportation distance and mode of transportation will affect the final landed price.
9. Exchange rate fluctuations: International trade is usually settled in US dollars, and exchange rate fluctuations will affect buyers who settle in other currencies.

How to obtain price information of American standard smls pipe?

 

1. Contact suppliers directly: Requesting quotations from multiple steel pipe manufacturers or traders to obtain the latest quotation information is the most direct and accurate way.
2. Refer to industry websites and platforms: Some professional websites and B2B platforms in the steel industry will publish steel price indices and market analysis, which can be used as a reference. For example, websites such as Shanghai Nonferrous Network will provide some overseas steel price information.
3. Consult industry associations and research institutions: Some steel industry associations and research institutions regularly publish market reports and price forecasts, which can provide more in-depth understanding.
4. Pay attention to the futures market: Price fluctuations in the steel futures market can reflect future trends in steel prices.

 

Approximate price range (for reference only)


Due to many influencing factors, it is difficult to give an accurate price. Based on the general market situation, it can be roughly estimated:
Ordinary carbon steel seamless pipe: roughly between several hundred dollars to over a thousand dollars per ton.
Alloy Steel Seamless Pipe: The price is usually higher than that of carbon steel pipe, and the price may range from over a thousand to several thousand dollars per ton depending on the alloy composition and specifications.
Stainless steel seamless pipe: Since stainless steel contains more precious metals, the price is usually higher, which may range from thousands to tens of thousands of dollars per ton.
Precision seamless steel pipe: Due to its higher production process and quality requirements, the price is usually higher than ordinary seamless steel pipe.
Important note: The above price range is for reference only. The actual price needs to be inquired based on specific product specifications, materials, quantity, delivery location and market conditions.
