GOST 3262-75 is a regulatory document in accordance with which steel water and gas pipes are produced. Using pipes that, unlike plastic products, can be successfully operated in open areas, and carry out installation of pipelines for transporting liquid and gaseous media. These are practically irreplaceable steel pipes in the field of capital and private construction, housing and communal services, agriculture.

You can familiarize yourself with the GOST requirements for steel water and gas pipes by downloading the document in pdf format follow the link below.

General information about VGP steel pipes

Water and gas steel pipes, the parameters of which are determined by GOST 3262-75, belong to products for special purposes, as their name suggests. The differences between their types lie primarily in the method of production. However, no matter what type the steel pipes of the category under consideration belong to, all their parameters are specified by the provisions of a document such as GOST 3262 (75, 80, 85, 91).

So, according to this standard (3262-75, latest edition 91st year), water and gas pipes manufactured welded method, may belong to one of the following types:

non-galvanized;
galvanized;
originally made with threads at the ends, which can be obtained by cutting or rolling;
without thread.

Areas of application and individual parameters

The main areas of application of water and gas pipes are geometric parameters And specifications which comply with standard 3262-75 - construction and repair. Pipes of this category are used for arranging gas and water communications and heating systems in cottages and multi-apartment buildings, administrative buildings, educational institutions, agricultural, industrial and any other facilities.

So, this type of rolled metal is used in:

communications of cold and hot water supply;
heating systems;
gas pipeline networks.

GOST 3262 (75, 80, 85, 91) assumes that welded ones can be produced in regular, multiple and unmeasured lengths. So, according to this gradation, they have the following dimensions (according to the length of the manufactured products):

measured - from 4 to 12 m long;
having a length that is a multiple of the measured value;
unmeasured with a length within the limits of the measured value.

Wall size is the criterion by which water and gas pipes are distinguished:

ordinary;
lungs;
reinforced.

Reinforced VGP pipes are products (sometimes galvanized), the wall thickness of which is increased (accordingly, such products have more weight). They are used for installation of pipelines carrying liquid or gaseous media transported under high pressure.

If the technical characteristics and basic geometric parameters of water and gas pipes are regulated by a regulatory document, then the design option and cutting length are determined by the customer. Thus, the most popular are pipes whose ends are threaded during the production process. The reason for their high popularity is that they do not require welding to install them.

Threads on VGP pipes can be created during their production:

rolling (a technology that allows you to obtain threads with the most accurate parameters, while it is assumed that the internal diameter of the pipe will be 10% smaller);
slicing.

The thread on VGP pipes is cut or rolled at the request of the customer, and it can be either short or long.

When calculating the weight of water and gas pipes, it should be borne in mind that galvanized products weigh 3% more than those made of ferrous metal. The standard also imposes a limitation on deviations in batch weight: they should not exceed 8%.

Technical requirements

An assortment of pipes of each type is formed, which lists their geometric parameters and theoretical weight.

The steel from which pipes of the VGP category are made must also meet the requirements specified in GOST (380, 1050), while the mechanical properties, as well as the chemical composition of the manufacturing material, are not standardized. Each type of pipe (welded, ferrous metal, galvanized, threaded) has special technical requirements, which should be discussed in more detail.

Welded

In accordance with the provisions of GOST, the following requirements are imposed on welded-type pipes of the VGP category.

If tubular products are connected using furnace welding technology, then in the area of the weld seam they outside diameter can be reduced by half a millimeter. If there is a gentle thickening on the inside of the seam, its size should not exceed 1 mm.
If using welding it is necessary to connect water and gas pipes whose wall thickness is more than 5 mm, then their ends must be chamfered at an angle of 35-40 degrees. In this case, the width end ring after chamfering, it should be in the range of 1–3 mm.
On the inside of the welded seam of water and gas pipes whose diameter exceeds 20 mm, excess metal must be cut or flattened so that its height does not exceed half a millimeter.
The customer can additionally specify the characteristics of products with an internal bore diameter of over 15 mm, produced using hot reduction (drawing) technology and joined by furnace welding. According to such requirements, a flat thickening may be present on the inside of the weld, the height of which is no more than 0.5 mm.

Threaded

Water and gas pipes, the threads at the ends of which are cut or rolled by the manufacturer, must have the following parameters.

The threads formed at the ends of water and gas pipes in the factory must correspond to accuracy category “B”. Its characteristics are specified by the provisions of GOST 6357. Thus, the thread must be clean, there cannot be any flaws or burrs on it.
At the joints and thread turns there may be blackness, and the height of the thread profile in such places should not be reduced by more than 15%. The customer has the right to set more stringent requirements, according to which the limit for reducing the height of the thread profile can be reduced to 10%.
The useful length of the thread (indicated in the assortment and measured without runoff) can be reduced to 15%, but the customer has the right to reduce the value of this deviation to 10%.

Galvanized

The zinc layer, which is applied to the entire surface of the water and gas pipe in the factory, must have a thickness of at least 30 microns. It is assumed that in areas with cut threads and at the ends there may be no zinc coating.
The zinc film must be applied with high quality; it must not contain bubbles, detachments from the base metal and foreign inclusions (oxides, sintered charge, zinc waste, etc.).
GOST allows the presence of flux stains, small deposits of zinc, roughness and marks on the surface of galvanized pipes that are left by elements of lifting devices.
If areas not coated with zinc are found on water and gas pipes, they can be re-treated, provided that the total area of such areas does not exceed 0.5% of the total surface area of the product.

Without zinc coating

The customer can negotiate with the manufacturer the provision of GOST couplings (8944, 8954, 8965, 8966) - one coupling for each product.
On the surface of the pipes, defects such as swelling, sunsets, cracks, oxide film are excluded, and at the ends of the products - delamination.
There may be some defects on the surface of water and gas pipes that are caused by the production method (ripples, scratches, dents, traces of stripping). At the same time, such defects should not reduce the pipe wall thickness below the tolerance specified in the product range. A layer of scale may also be present, but it should not interfere with inspection of the product.
The ends of water and gas pipes supplied to consumers are cut at right angles. The bevel, if it occurs during pruning, should not exceed 2 degrees. The size of the burrs remaining after trimming should not exceed half a millimeter.

IN regulatory document also stipulates the control methods to which all pipes of the water and gas category must be subjected:

Hydraulic pressure test that pipes must withstand:
- ordinary and light type - 25 kgf/cm2 (2.4 MPa);
- reinforced - 32 kgf/cm2 (3.1 MPa);
- meeting special requirements - 50 kgf/cm2 (4.9 MPa).
Bend tests carried out on mandrels with a radius of:
– 2.5 outer diameter sizes – products with diameter up to 40 mm;
– 3.5 outer diameter sizes – pipes with DN 50 mm.
Distribution test for water and gas pipes with remote control:
– 15–50 mm – not less than 7%;
– more than 65 mm – not less than 4%.
