JIS G3444 STK400 Steel Pipe: Main Applications

STK400 is a medium-strength structural carbon steel tube widely used in non-pressure structural systems in construction and civil engineering projects around the world.

Steel Structures in Construction (Primary Application):

These are the STK400’s most critical application areas worldwide.

Scaffolding and Temporary Construction Structures
Civil Engineering and Infrastructure
· Primarily used as “secondary load-bearing structures”
· Not used as primary load-bearing structural members
 
Industrial Plant and Equipment Structures
Municipal and Public Facilities
Foundations and Lightweight Support Structures (Foundation Support – Secondary Use)
The STK400 is not used for high-load permanent pile foundations (which typically require higher-strength steel grades).

When ALLLAND supplies the STK400 for structural projects, its focus is not merely on “manufacturing steel pipes,” but on ensuring material traceability, consistent performance, precise dimensions, reliable welding, and compliance with engineering acceptance standards.
