我國早期的管道建設主要采用的是不銹鋼無縫管，但口徑受到了限制。隨著焊管生產技術的發展和焊管質量的提高以及不銹鋼(gang)焊(han)管的直徑可以做得更大，焊管很快就替代了不銹鋼無縫管，成為管道建設的主角。隨著管道建設向大型化、高輸送量發展，中大口徑的管道基本采用了焊管，90年代以來，我國油氣管道的主干線全部被焊管所壟斷，不銹鋼無縫管主要用于支線管、集輸管線、海底管線和城市的管網。

  70-80年代成都無縫、包鋼等企業按(an)《一般無縫鋼管(guan)(guan)》（YB 231-1970）和后來的《輸送流(liu)體(ti)用(yong)無縫鋼管(guan)(guan)》（GB／T 8163-1987）標準，生產流(liu)體(ti)輸送用(yong)管(guan)(guan)，主要(yao)牌號：A3（A3F）、10、20、16Mn、Q235、Q295、Q345等，主要(yao)管(guan)(guan)徑：Φ159mm、ф219mm、φ273mm、Φ325mm、φ426mm、最大管(guan)(guan)徑為Φ630mm。

  從80年(nian)(nian)代開(kai)(kai)始，我國(guo)開(kai)(kai)展了(le)按(an)API標準開(kai)(kai)發研(yan)制(zhi)專用(yong)不銹(xiu)鋼(gang)無縫管(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)線(xian)管(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)，為(wei)(wei)了(le)適(shi)應這一(yi)發展的(de)(de)需要，成都無縫廠從80年(nian)(nian)代末開(kai)(kai)始了(le)按(an)照API5L標準，開(kai)(kai)發研(yan)制(zhi)生(sheng)產(chan)A、B、X42～X52鋼(gang)級管(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)線(xian)管(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)。于(yu)1991年(nian)(nian)獲得了(le)API 5L會標許可(ke)證，并于(yu)當年(nian)(nian)向(xiang)泰國(guo)出(chu)口(kou)管(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)線(xian)管(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)；1992年(nian)(nian)向(xiang)臺灣地區出(chu)口(kou)Φ245mm的(de)(de)管(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)線(xian)管(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)。90年(nian)(nian)代中后(hou)期又(you)研(yan)制(zhi)出(chu)了(le)X56、X60、X65鋼(gang)級管(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)線(xian)管(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)，并為(wei)(wei)勝(sheng)利油(you)田(tian)批量供應X56級管(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)線(xian)管(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)；向(xiang)伊拉克出(chu)口(kou)幾萬噸(dun)X60級管(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)線(xian)管(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)。天津(jin)鋼(gang)管(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)公(gong)司250連軋管(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)機(ji)組投產(chan)后(hou)不久就開(kai)(kai)始了(le)管(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)線(xian)管(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)研(yan)制(zhi)，1997年(nian)(nian)為(wei)(wei)渤海(hai)油(you)田(tian)開(kai)(kai)發研(yan)制(zhi)出(chu)X56級φ219.1×12.7mm海(hai)底(di)管(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)線(xian)管(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)；1998年(nian)(nian)為(wei)(wei)勝(sheng)利油(you)田(tian)開(kai)(kai)發生(sheng)產(chan)X56鋼(gang)級ф114.3mm×10mm、ф273.1mm×12.7mm海(hai)底(di)管(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)線(xian)管(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)；1999-2000年(nian)(nian)為(wei)(wei)沙(sha)特阿美公(gong)司開(kai)(kai)發生(sheng)產(chan)出(chu)了(le)4萬噸(dun)X60鋼(gang)級ф168.3mmx12.7mm、φ219.1mmx12.7mm、φ273.1mmx12.7mm等多個(ge)規(gui)格的(de)(de)海(hai)底(di)管(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)線(xian)管(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)；2000年(nian)(nian)后(hou)又(you)開(kai)(kai)發出(chu)X65Q、X70Q、X80Q級高(gao)強度管(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)線(xian)管(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)，適(shi)合海(hai)洋(yang)環境和抗腐蝕環境的(de)(de)X60QS、X65QS鋼(gang)級管(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)線(xian)管(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)，適(shi)合低溫環境的(de)(de)X60L、X65L管(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)線(xian)管(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)。
