Excerpt:
Molybdenum-alloy seamless pipe for elevated-temperature boiler and process equipment selected by the project engineer. The 0.25–0.35% Mo range distinguishes 16Mo3 from ordinary carbon pressure pipe; creep design, welding procedure and post-weld treatment need separate engineering review.

01 / Selection Advantages
- Grade-specific alloy and heat-treatment review supports demanding temperature-service enquiries.
- Plain or prepared welding ends can be coordinated with cut-length and identification requirements.
- Order-based NDT and documentation planning helps buyers define acceptance before material is released.
02 / Specifications & Size Schedule
Use the following options to prepare a complete enquiry. The lists do not imply that every dimension combination is stocked or interchangeable with another standard. State the required tolerances and quantity for each line.

03 / Chemical Composition
Composition is expressed in weight percent. Maximum and minimum limits refer to the listed grade/product reference; final acceptance follows the agreed standard edition and heat analysis.
| Element | Grade reference / wt.% |
|---|---|
| C | 0.12–0.20 |
| Si | ≤0.35 |
| Mn | 0.40–0.90 |
| P | ≤0.025 |
| S | ≤0.010 |
| Cr | ≤0.30 |
| Ni | ≤0.30 |
| Mo | 0.25–0.35 |
| Cu | ≤0.30 |
| Al total | ≤0.040 |

04 / Mechanical Properties & Technical Notes
| Wall group / mm | Min yield / MPa | Tensile / MPa | Min elongation L / T |
|---|---|---|---|
| t ≤16 | 280 | 450–600 | 22% / 20% |
| 16 < t ≤40 | 270 | 450–600 | 22% / 20% |
| 40 < t ≤60 | 260 | 450–600 | 22% / 20% |
Properties refer to the specified heat-treated tube at room temperature. A room-temperature strength table must not be used as an allowable stress at operating temperature. Ask for the design code, temperature, pressure and welding requirements with your enquiry.
05 / Processing & Inspection
| Control point | What to agree or inspect |
|---|---|
| Traceability | Match grade, heat number, pipe marking and inspection certificate before dispatch. |
| Dimensions | Check OD, wall, ovality, straightness and length against the agreed standard. |
| Integrity | Specify hydrostatic or permitted electromagnetic leak-tightness testing; agree NDT category and coverage. |
| Fabrication | Confirm cutting, bevels, heat treatment and any additional testing before work begins. |
Include additional tests, third-party inspection, marking transfer and processing requirements before order confirmation. Qida can coordinate the agreed inspection scope and supporting records; an online product guide is not a delivered-batch test certificate.
06 / Export Packaging & Transport
| Packing item | Practical requirement |
|---|---|
| Internal protection | Dry bore; cap both ends to limit dirt and handling damage. |
| External protection | Temporary oil/varnish only where compatible with subsequent welding and cleaning. |
| Bundles | Steel straps, separators and visible size/heat labels; agree bundle weight and lifting points. |
| Loading | Support pipes on suitable dunnage, block longitudinal movement and secure against rolling. |
Agree destination port, Incoterms rule and named place, package mass, unloading equipment and required shipping documents. Container capacity depends on payload limits, route and load distribution. For regulated solid-wood packaging, confirm the applicable ISPM 15 treatment and marking requirements.
07 / Qida Procurement Support
| Order stage | Our coordination | Buyer benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Specification review | Review material, dimensions, units, drawings and destination requirements. | A clear line-by-line enquiry helps reduce omissions and incompatible substitutions. |
| Processing plan | Confirm cutting, finishing, inspection and identification items in writing. | The buyer can assess scope and acceptance before production or sourcing proceeds. |
| Packing & dispatch | Coordinate labels, packing list, suitable protection and shipping-document requirements. | Piece count and heat/lot correspondence can be checked at agreed milestones. |
| After-sales follow-up | Review order references, arrival photos and inspection records for reported issues. | A documented issue description supports a specific response and follow-up. |
08 / Request a Detailed Quotation
Send the standard and edition, grade, size schedule, quantity per size, material condition, finish, processing drawings, tests/documents, packing requirements and destination port. Include maximum piece or package weight and any project approval requirements. Pricing, minimum quantity and lead time will be confirmed against the actual requirement.
