Due to the absence of weld seams and their excellent pressure-bearing capabilities, seamless steel pipes are widely used in applications such as fluid transport, boiler heat exchange, mechanical structures, and precision manufacturing; however, requirements regarding standards and inspection criteria vary significantly across these different applications.

An analysis of downstream order patterns over the past two years reveals a shift in customer requirements for cold-drawn steel products: the focus is moving from mere "adequacy" to "consistent precision" and "surface finishes requiring no further processing," with a rising share of demand for precision seamless tubes and cold-drawn steel with special cross-sections.
