The types and uses of steel pipe
What is steel pipe?
Steel pipe is a very important building material in life. It is favored by many people because of its unique product characteristics and aesthetics.
It is a kind of economic steel, steel products and varieties of specifications are extremely wide, and its performance requirements are also various. Steel pipes can be used to transport fluids and powdery solids, exchange heat and manufacture machinery parts and containers.
What are the advantages of steel pipe?
- High strength, excellent toughness and stress tolerance, good impact resistance and tightness, easy to weld and heat treatment.
- Compared with other metals, under the same application conditions, the pipe wall is thinner, which can save metal.
- They are economical steels, not only used for transporting liquids and powdery solids, exchanging heat, but also making machine parts and containers.
- Using steel pipe to manufacture construction structure grids, struts and mechanical supports can reduce weight, save 20~40% of metal.
- Using steel pipe to manufacture highway bridges can not only save steel, simplify construction, but also greatly reduce the protective coating area and save investment and maintenance costs.
The types and uses of steel pipe:
According to the production method
Seamless steel pipe
It can be used in various industries of liquid pressure pipeline and gas pipeline.
Welded steel pipe
It can be used for water pipeline, gas pipeline, heating pipeline, electrical pipe and so on.
According to the purpose of steel pipe
pipe for pipeline
Such as: water, gas pipe, steam pipe with seamless pipe, oil transmission pipe, oil and gas trunk pipe.
Pipe for thermal equipment
Such as the general boiler with boiling water pipe, superheated steam pipe, locomotive boiler with heat pipe, smoke pipe, arch brick pipe and high temperature and high pressure boiler pipe.
Pipe for mechanical industry
Such as aviation structure pipe, automobile axle pipe, automobile tractor structure pipe, tractor oil cooler pipe, agricultural machinery with square pipe and rectangular pipe, transformer pipe and bearing pipe, etc.
pipe for Petroleum geology
Such as: oil drilling pipe, oil drill pipe, drilling, oil piping, oil casing and various pipe joints, geological drilling pipe.
Pipe for chemical industry
Such as: petroleum cracking pipe, chemical equipment heat exchanger and pipe, stainless acid-resistant pipe, fertilizer with high pressure pipe and transport chemical medium pipe, etc.
pipe for Other departments
Such as: container pipe, instrument pipe, hand watch case pipe, injection needle and medical instrument pipe, etc.
According to the steel pipe material
Including: carbon steel pipe, alloy steel pipe and stainless steel pipe.
1.Carbon steel pipe can be divided into ordinary carbon steel pipe and high quality carbon structure pipe.
2. Alloy steel pipe can be divided into: low alloy steel pipe, alloy structure pipe, high alloy steel pipe, high strength pipe.
