Meanwhile, Russia was quick to adapt the Krupp cast steel barrels. In 1863 it ordered 88 8 inch (20.33 cm) and 16 9 inch (22.86 cm) guns at Krupp, probably still muzzle loaders. In 1864 it tested Krupp 4-pounder field guns with two sliding wedge breech systems: the double breech and Krupp's simple breech.
Krupp A.G., produced a 9 cm (6-Pfünder-Feldkanone C/61) rifled breechloader of cast steel with a "piston" breech-lock designed by Martin von Wahrendorff, which gave such good results that Prussia adopted steel for making army guns, which made Prussia the first country to do so.

The unexpected victory of Prussia over France (19 July 1870 – 10 May 1871) demonstrated the superiority of breech-loaded steel cannon over muzzle-loaded brass. Krupp artillery was a significant factor at the battles of Wissembourg and Gravelotte, and was used during the siege of Paris. Krupp's anti-balloon guns were the first anti-aircraft ...
In 1871, another 48 cannons made out of steel and equipped with a cylindrical-prismatic wedge mechanism were purchased and adopted as the Krupp Model 1871 guns which became the first steel cannons of Romania. [1] Unlike the Turkish carriage which was metallic, the Romanian guns had wooden carriages made out of elm or oak wood. [9]
In January 1867 the Prussian Navy ordered Krupp to design a 9 inch (96-pdr) gun barrel. [13] This was the 24 cm K L/20, which had a caliber of 235.4 mm. From this measurement we know that Krupp designed a gun with a caliber of 9 Prussian inch or Zöll, which explains why Krupp and others liked to refer to the 9 inch gun.
The barrel of the 15 cm RK L/26 was 3,850 mm long, i.e. 147.2 Prussian inches of 2.616 cm. The length of bore was 3,430 mm. Caliber was 149.1 mm. [2] The weight of the barrel was 4,000 kg or 80 Zenter, including the breech block of 141.5 kg. The barrel of the gun had 24 wedge grooves. The army version had a twist rate of 50 calibers or 7.455 m.
The barrel of the 40 cm MRK L/35 was of the standard Mantel Ring construction. Innermost in the barrel was the steel inner tube (Kernrohr), This was put under pressure by the steel jacket (Mantel), which was the heaviest piece of the barrel and had a hole for
