DIN 1629 Seamless Non-Alloy Steel Tubes
With Special Requirements
German Standard – Pressure Purposes – Replaced by EN 10216-1
Product Overview
DIN 1629 is the German standard for seamless circular non-alloy steel tubes with special requirements. These tubes are intended for pressure purposes and applications requiring higher quality, performance, and reliability, such as chemical equipment, pressure vessels, and piping systems.
The standard covers three main strength grades:
St37.0 (1.0254) – General purpose pressure tube
St44.0 (1.0256) – Higher strength pressure applications
St52.0 (1.0421) – High strength, heavy duty applications
⚠️ Important Note: DIN 1629 has been withdrawn and replaced by EN 10216-1 (P235TR2/P265TR2/P355N). We supply to this standard for legacy replacement, maintenance, and retrofit projects where the old German standard is still specified.

Mechanical Properties – DIN 1629 Grades
| Grade | Tensile Strength (MPa) | Yield Strength min (MPa) – by wall thickness | Elongation min (%) | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ≤16mm | 16-40mm | 40-65mm | Longitudinal | Transverse | ||

|---|---|
| .0 | No Charpy impact test required |
| .2 | Impact tested at +20°C |
| .3 | Impact tested at 0°C |
Example: St52.3 requires Charpy impact testing at 0°C, whereas St52.0 does not.
EN 10216-1 Equivalent – DIN 1629 to Current Standard
| DIN 1629 Grade | EN 10216-1 Equivalent | Quality Level |

FAQ – DIN 1629 Tubes
Q1: Is DIN 1629 still valid?
A: No – DIN 1629 has been withdrawn and replaced by EN 10216-1. However, we continue to supply to this standard for legacy replacement projects.
Q2: What is the EN 10216-1 equivalent of St37.0?
A: P235TR2 – the direct replacement grade with equivalent mechanical properties.
Q3: What is the EN 10216-1 equivalent of St52.0?
A: P355N – normalized quality with similar strength (355 MPa min yield).
Q4: What is the maximum operating temperature for DIN 1629 tubes?
A: Generally limited to below 300°C (572°F). For higher temperatures, use EN 10216-2 (P235GH, etc.).
Q5: What does St52.0 mean?
A: St = Steel (Stahl in German), 52 = minimum yield strength in kgf/mm² (≈510 MPa), .0 = no impact test requirement.
Q6: What is the difference between St52.0 and St52.3?
A: St52.0 – no Charpy impact test required. St52.3 – Charpy impact tested at 0°C.
Q7: Does DIN 1629 require hydrostatic testing?
A: Yes – all tubes must undergo hydrostatic testing per standard requirements.
Q8: What are the surface quality requirements?
A: Inner and outer surfaces shall be smooth. Defects may be removed by grinding if wall thickness remains within tolerance. No weld repair is permitted.
Q9: Can you supply EN 10216-1 equivalents?
A: Yes – we also supply the current EN 10216-1 standard (P235TR2, P265TR2, P355N). Please specify which standard you require.
Q10: Do you provide third-party inspection?
A: Yes. SGS, BV, TUV, or any customer-specified agency.
Q11: Do you offer free samples?
A: 30cm sample available for common grades (St37.0, St52.0). Shipping fee applies.
