Understanding SNI 8052:2014 – Steel Pipe Piles

December 26, 2025
Hello Pipe Enthusiasts!
  
After the previous #BPIPipeInsights! article where we discussed SNI 39:2024 and SNI 0068:2013, this time we will talk about SNI 8052:2014. SNI 8052:2014 is the Indonesian national standard that regulates steel pipe piles. This standard sets requirements for quality, dimensions, chemical composition, and testing methods so that steel pipes can be used safely and reliably in foundation construction.
  
Understanding SNI 8052:2014  
SNI 8052:2014 is the Indonesian national standard that specifies technical requirements for steel pipe piles. This type of steel pipe is used as a foundation element in construction projects, especially to support the loads of buildings, bridges, docks, and other heavy structures.
  
There are three welding methods for steel pipes under SNI 8052:2014: ERW (Electric Resistance Welding), LSAW (Longitudinal Submerged Arc Welding), and HSAW (Helical Submerged Arc Welding).
  
This standard regulates:  
  • Chemical composition and mechanical properties of carbon steel or alloy steel used.  
  • Dimensions and tolerances of steel pipes to ensure suitability for construction needs.  
  • Pipe end shapes (such as straight or bevel) according to pile applications.  
  • Permissible surface defects to still meet quality requirements.  
  • Testing methods to ensure product quality, including tensile tests, bending tests, and visual inspection among each class, Class 1, Class 2, and Class 3.  
The Importance of SNI 8052:2014  
The implementation of this standard provides assurance that steel pipe piles:  
  • Have guaranteed load-bearing capacity for heavy construction foundations.  
  • Are resistant to dynamic loads and challenging environmental conditions.  
  • Are consistent in quality so they can be relied upon by contractors and consultants.  
Application in BPI Products  
As a leading steel pipe manufacturer, BPI ensures that steel pipe pile products:  
  • Are produced according to SNI 8052:2014 with strict quality control.  
  • Are available in various sizes and specifications according to project needs ranging from diameters of 2 inches (60.3 mm) up to 64 inches (1,625.6 mm).  
  • Are tested chemically and mechanically to ensure reliability in the field.  
Industry Applications  
BPI steel pipe products that comply with SNI 8052:2014 are used in:  
  • High-rise building foundations  
  • Bridges and docks  
  • Transportation and port infrastructure  
  • Other heavy construction projects  
Conclusion  
The implementation of SNI 8052:2014 is clear evidence that BPI delivers steel pipe piles that are safe, reliable, and aligned with the needs of the construction industry. With this standard, BPI is increasingly ready to support vital infrastructure development in Indonesia through high-quality and tested products.
