the benefits of seamless commercial steel pipe

Due to steel pipes extensive usage, it is ubiquitous and can be found underground, residential walls, laboratories, commercial and industrial field. The seamless commercial steel pipe can transport fluids including water, natural gas, petroleum as well as waste and air. The seamless steel commercial steel pipe are manufactured adopting an extrusion mold. While welded steel pipes are produced by rolling a sheet of steel billet into a tube and welding seam.  The manufacturing process of seamless steel pipe starts with a solid round steel billet. The steel billet is heated to high great temperature and stretched  and pulled over a form until it takes the shape of a hollow tube. As a professional steel pipe supplier, Anson Steel will offer you three great advantages to making a pipe in this way.



Increased pressure ratings
The major advantage of seamless steel pipe has ability to withstand increased pressure during the work. However, the weakest point of welded steel pipe is the welded seam. Due to without welded seam for seamless commercial steel pipe, the quality of seamless steel pipes is strong and long service life around the entire circumference of the pipes. Also, it is much easier to determine pressure calculations without being required to take weld quality into consideration. Although the prices of seamless pipes may be more expensive than welded pipes, the ability of withstand pressure allow you using thinner and lighter pipe, which can help you cut down cost.
                                                                                    
Uniformity of shape
Because welded seam pipe is wrapped around another form before it is welded, it can never be as round as seamless steel pipe during the welding adds heat, stress and other extraneous variables to the forming process. Seamless steel pipe is a continuous extrusion of the alloy which have a round cross section that you can count on. This is helpful when you install pipes or adding fittings.

Strength under loads
Though the prices of seamless steel commercial pipe is much more expensive than other forms of steel pipes, it is more reliable and has greater strength under loading. Pipe failures and leaks in welded pipes usually occur at the welded seam. Because seamless pipe doesn’t have that seam, it isn’t subject to those failures.

These benefits make seamless steel pipes the first choice material in an array of commercial pipe applications, including ship building, pipelines, oil rigs, oil field equipment, pressure vessels, machinery parts and offshore rigs. An additional benefit is that they perform good in harsh conditions for seamless pipes, which means that they can be used in extremely cold or hot environments.
