Characteristics by Category

Oil and gas drilling

The NIPPON STEEL brand of OCTG-Oil Country Tubular Goods & Line Pipe is world class.

Steel pipe used for energy exploitation and transport in harsh development environments such as severe cold regions with minus 60℃ temperatures and the deep seabed are required to have high strength,corrosion resistance, and toughness. As the world's top maker,NIPPON STEEL has received high regard and trust from customers by supplying advanced products that can withstand high-temperatures and corrosive environments during drilling and low-temperature environment during transport.

Offshore structures

Steel pipes continuously supporting offshore digging equipment for a long period with high quality and reliability.

The pipes made by NIPPON STEEL are being used at the section supporting leg part of the jack-up rig in equipment to extract fossil fuels including petroleum and gas deposited under the sea-bed. This section is composed of critical safety parts to continuously support rigs for a long period and requires high quality and reliability.

The steel pipes made by NIPPON STEEL improve workability during assembly and appearance due to high dimensional accuracy and quality in the pipe surface, and are highly appreciated by customers.

Piping and pipe lines

Steel pipes for piping made by NIPPON STEEL supporting development of urban areas and expansion of industries.

Steel pipes are used for a wide range of applications including line pipes for petroleum and gas and piping for plants, and play major roles in the development of urban areas and expansion of industries.
NIPPON STEEL is manufacturing steel pipes for various kinds of highly reliable piping under integrated management from raw materials to products by excellent technologies and various kinds of advanced, highly efficient pipe manufacturing equipment.

Electric and power plants

Specialty tubes and pipes are extensively used in thermal power plants worldwide, leading to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.

It is essential that thermal power plants are efficiently operated with tight control of CO2 emissions. For that purpose, these plants require the tubes and pipes that are durable in the severe condition with high temperature and pressure. NIPPON STEEL specialty tubes and pipes contribute not only to the stable operation of thermal power plants, but also to the prevention of global warming by supplying reliable and quality products manufactured under extremely tight quality control.

Petrochemical and other plants

NIPPON STEEL stainless steel and Ni alloy steel pipes can handle harsh environments

NIPPON STEEL's stainless steel and Ni alloy steel tubes and pipes have outstanding properties in terms of corrosion resistance, heat resistance and low temperature characteristics, and they have long been used as materials to handle harsh environments in energy fields such as petroleum refining and petrochemistry.
Going forward, we will work to develop the original only-one of steel to meet cutting edge needs in increasingly harsh use environments, and advance technological innovation even further.

Construction and facilities
