STEEL PIPES

Steel pipes and tubes are use in a wide variety of industries such as marine, mechanical, oil and gas and many more other industries. They are made using two different processes that lead to either welded or seamless pipes. In both processes, the raw steel is first formed into a more elastic initial form before being stretched out into a seamless tube or pressed together and joined with a weld to make a pipe. All pipes are measured by nominal inside diameter and wall thickness based on a schedule number. The thicker the wall, the higher the schedule number.
