Steel Pipes are hollow cylindrical structures used to transport liquids, gases, slurries, and other substances across various industrial systems. They are integral to industries like construction, oil and gas, manufacturing, and water management, ensuring efficient and secure fluid flow under varying pressures and environmental conditions.
Types of Steel Pipes
Pipes are available in different types based on their material and manufacturing process:
- Seamless Pipes: Made without welds, providing superior strength and performance under high pressures.
- Welded Pipes: Manufactured by welding a steel plate or strip, suitable for low- to medium-pressure applications.
- ERW (Electric Resistance Welded) Pipes: Lightweight and cost-effective for water distribution and fencing.
- DSAW (Double Submerged Arc Welded) Pipes: Used in high-strength structural applications.
- Galvanized Pipes: Coated with zinc for enhanced corrosion resistance.
Steel Types (Based on Properties & Applications)
Pipes are further classified based on their properties and application requirements:
- Structural Steel Pipes: Used in buildings, bridges, and frameworks for their strength and load-bearing capacity.
- Pressure Pipes: Designed to withstand high pressure, commonly used in steam, hydraulic, and gas systems.
- Corrosion-Resistant Pipes: Made from stainless steel, duplex steel, or nickel alloys for harsh environments.
- Heat-Resistant Pipes: Suitable for high-temperature applications in power plants and refineries.
- Low-Temperature Carbon Steel Pipes: Used in cryogenic applications where materials need to withstand sub-zero temperatures.
Materials
Pipes are constructed using materials suited to specific operational requirements:
- Carbon Steel: Strong and durable, used in industrial pipelines and structures.
- Stainless Steel: Corrosion-resistant for chemical and marine environments.
- Alloy Steel: High strength for extreme temperatures and pressures.
- Nickel and Titanium Alloys: Used in specialized applications like aerospace and chemical processing.
- Copper and Brass: Preferred for plumbing and decorative purposes.
