What is BS 1387 Standard
BS 1387 is a British standard specifying mild steel tubes for low-pressure services and structural applications. Pipes manufactured according to the BS 1387 standard are widely recognized for their stable performance, excellent weldability, and reliable quality.
Key characteristics of BS 1387 include:
- Mild carbon steel material, equivalent to Q195, Q235, or Q345
- Manufactured using ERW technology
- Consistent dimensional tolerances
- Suitable for threading, welding, and fabrication
Understanding the BS 1387 standard helps ensure that the right type of pipe is selected for specific projects, guaranteeing safety and efficiency.
What is a BS 1387 ERW Steel Pipe

What are BS 1387 Light, Medium, and Heavy Pipes (Class L, M, H)
According to BS 1387, pipes are classified by wall thickness into:
- Light (L) – thin wall, lightweight, cost-effective
- Medium (M) – most commonly used, balanced strength and weight
- Heavy (H) – thick wall, high strength
In some markets, BS 1387 Medium pipes are referred to as “Class B”, while Light and Heavy types are less commonly labeled with market terms.
Choosing the right type ensures the pipe meets the strength, load, and cost requirements of your project.
