JIS G3461 carbon steel pipes are mainly used for heat exchange inside and outside pipes, such as water pipes, flue gas pipes, superheater pipes, air preheater pipes, etc. Its application areas include: boiler pipes, heat exchanger pipes, and condensers. It can also be used in the chemical and petroleum industries, but cannot be used under low temperature conditions.
