fluid pipes of Anson Steel

Fluid pipes are a kind of tube that is designed to convey the fluid properties of the medium. The medium with fluid properties includes not only liquid medium such as water, oil, solution etc. but also solid medium like grain, coal and cement etc. Under certain conditions, these medium can flow. The fluid pipe not only can be made from steel, but also can utilize the copper or titanium and other non-ferrous metal to process, even can use non-metallic materials such as plastic.

Fluid tube need to have a hollow cross-section, or square, triangle or any other shapes. Some equipment are limited by the conditions, it must use rectangular tube. But a majority of customers use the round pipes. In all geometrical cross section, the round tube have smallest perimeter that is to say under the conditions of using the same amount of material, the round tube can get maximum cross section. Therefore, the round fluid pipe can transfer much more fluid than other style pipes.

Due to low cost and high strength, the steel pipe is widely applied for transferring fluid in modern society. Depending on the production process, the fluid steel pipe is divided into two categories: seamless steel pipe and welded steel tube. The welded steel pipe has many types: high frequency straight seam welded pipe (ERW), spiral welded pipe (SSAW) and submerged arc welding pipe (UOE) etc. Previously, fluid tube uses seamless steel pipe, with development of material science, molding process and technical progress, the welded pipe got great development. Welding pipe is better than seamless pipe in uniform wall thickness, high precision, less energy consumption and high production efficiency. While the oil gas pipeline with high standard (API standard) is gradually replaced by the welded pipe in developed countries.
