SG295 Steel Coil – Manufactured to JIS G3116 for Safe Gas Cylinder Production
Supplying SG295 hot-rolled steel coil to Vietnam's gas cylinder manufacturers. 100% compliant with JIS G3116 standard, with full Mill Test Certificate (MTC) traceability. We understand Vietnam's import regulations – including QCVN compliance and CR mark requirements – and ensure every shipment comes with complete documentation for smooth customs clearance.
Why SG295 for Gas Cylinders? And Why Source from Us for Vietnam?
SG295 is a high-strength steel grade specified under JIS G3116, the Japanese standard for steel sheets, plates, and strips used in welded gas cylinders (LPG, CNG, acetylene, and industrial gases). With minimum yield strength of 295 MPa and excellent weldability, it's the preferred material for cylinders up to 500 liters capacity.
Over the past decade, we've specialized in gas cylinder steels, supplying to manufacturers across Asia and specifically to Vietnam. We know that importing gas cylinder materials into Vietnam requires more than just good steel – it requires:
Complete documentation for QCVN conformity assessment.
Third-party inspection readiness (SGS, BV, etc.).
Clear traceability for CR mark registration.
Technical Specifications – JIS G3116 SG295
| Parameters | JIS G3116 requirement | Our typical value | Characteristics |
| Yield strength | ≥295 MPa | 310-340 MPa | Sufficient safety margin is maintained while ensuring the forming performance. |
| Tensile strength | ≥440 MPa | 460-500 MPa | To cope with unexpected pressure fluctuations, the equipment becomes safer. |
| Strain rate | ≥26% | 28-32% | The gas cylinder head is easy to be stamped without cracking and has a high yield rate. |
| Carbon content | ≤0.20% | 0.16-0.18% | Excellent welding performance, reducing the risk of cracks |
| Manganese content | ≤1.00% | 0.80-0.95% | The balance between strength and toughness is excellent. |
| Phosphorus and sulfur content | ≤0.030% | ≤0.020% | High purity, avoiding hot brittleness and cold brittleness. |
Technical Comparison: SG295 vs. SG255 (JIS G3116) vs. Q235B (GB/T 700)
| Parameter | SG295 (JIS G3116) | SG255 (JIS G3116) | Q235B (GB/T 700) | Engineering Significance for Gas Cylinders |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | JIS G3116 (Japan) | JIS G3116 (Japan) | GB/T 700 (China) | SG series are specialized for gas cylinders; Q235B is general structural steel. |
| Minimum Yield Strength (MPa) | ≥295 | ≥255 | ≥235 | Higher strength allows thinner cylinder walls, reducing weight and material cost. |
| Tensile Strength (MPa) | ≥440 | ≥400 | 370-500 | Ensures cylinder can withstand burst pressure. SG295 has a higher safety margin. |
| Elongation (Min. %) | ≥26 | ≥28 | ≥26 | SG255 is more ductile but weaker. SG295 balances strength & formability for stamping. |
| Carbon Content (Max %) | ≤0.20 | ≤0.20 | ≤0.20 | Similar levels ensure good weldability (critical for seam-welded cylinders). |
| Typical Application | LPG/CNG cylinders, low-pressure vessels | Low-pressure vessels, simple stampings | Buildings, bridges, general structures | SG295 is the minimum recommended grade for portable LPG cylinders per global standards. |
| Welding Performance | Excellent (low carbon + Mn control) | Excellent | Good (but not certified for gas cylinders) | SG grades have stricter quality control for weld seam reliability. |
| Availability | Specialized coil/plate | Less common | Widely available | Q235B is cheap but lacks cylinder-specific certification (e.g., MTC traceability). |
Key Takeaways:For Vietnamese gas cylinder manufacturers, SG295 is the most cost-effective grade under JIS G3116. While SG255 offers higher elongation (28% vs 26%), its lower tensile strength (≥400 MPa) fails the 1.5x burst pressure test for standard 12.5kg LPG cylinders. General structural steel like Q235B is strictly prohibited due to its unpredictable weld toughness under cyclic pressure. Always verify your Mill Test Certificate (MTC) shows JIS G3116 compliance – our SG295 coils provide guaranteed 310-340 MPa yield strength for a safe stamping process window.

All our SG295 coils are manufactured strictly according to JIS G3116:2020, with chemical composition and mechanical properties guaranteed. This forms the basis for QCVN conformity assessment in Vietnam
Full Traceability – MTC Provided with Every Shipment
Every coil comes with the original Mill Test Certificate (MTC) showing:
Heat number and chemical analysis
Mechanical test results (yield, tensile, elongation)
Conformity statement to JIS G3116


Third-Party Inspection – Fully Supported
We welcome and fully support pre-shipment inspection by any internationally recognized agency:
SGS
Bureau Veritas (BV)
Intertek
TÜV
Any agency your importer specifies
We'll coordinate sampling, testing, and documentation – making your QCVN conformity process smoother
HS Code Accuracy – Smooth Customs Clearance
Your SG295 coils will be classified under the correct HS code for Vietnam imports:
HS Code: 7208.3890 – Hot-rolled steel coils, pickled, of a thickness of 3-4.75mm (or as per your specific dimensions)
We ensure all commercial documents match this classification for seamless clearance.
