subject: Steel Pipe And Its Many Uses [print this page] Steel Pipes are long hollow tubes used for various purposes. Most of the steel products are products that have their origin in four primary forms of raw steel: ingots, billets, blooms and slabs. These four forms undergo different processes of re-heating, extruding, squeezing or transforming into many other configurations to produce virtually every steel product used today. Generally, Steel Pipes can be produced from two basic forms of steel called the round billet and the slab.
Steel Pipes find numerous applications in almost every sphere connected with day-to-day life. Industrial use of Steel Pipes is also very popular and Steel is indispensable in every sector. The two types of Steel Pipe are seamless and single welded seam and both have different uses. Seamless Tubes are typically more lightweight with thinner walls and are used for bicycles and transporting liquids. On the other hand, Seamed Tubes are heavier and more rigid.
)Some Steel Pipes are used for domestic purposes and this type of plumbing involves steel pipes that can handle normal temperatures and pressures.
)Seamless Pipe is used for dealing with high pressure and temperature. It is made by heating steel that is in a solid, round and cylindrical shape called billet and then by pushing or pulling over a mandrel with a piercing point placed in the center. It is used in construction, oil refining, chemical and petrochemical industries for heavy wall thickness and also suitable for coiling, flanging and threading. It is costly, short in supply and not available in long lengths.
)Industrial Piping is another major application and mainly consists of water supply in various industries.
)Another use is Pipe piling, drilled shafts and other structural applications.
)Used in different structural applications for welding, riveting or bolted construction.
)Oil and natural gas transmission is another very important use of Steel Pipes.
)Steel Pipes also undergo different rolling and welding processes for oil and gas offshore construction of platforms.
)Used in drainage systems for water and waste piping.
