The pipes carbon steel has many properties that make them ideal for various applications. They are highly resistant, malleable, and inexpensive. Compared to PVC, they are much stronger and less expensive than stainless steel. Also, they have a high resistance to pressure.
Types
Seamless steel tubes: The Carbon Steel Seamless Pipe is used mainly for the conduction of fluids and gases. Also, they are applied in various industries such as the chemical industry, petrochemical, fisheries, mining sector, energy sector, among other industries.
Welded steel pipe: The steel tubes welded to the carbon are used to transport structures and fluids and liquids (water, steam, and gas).
This type of pipe can be:
Rolled cold or hot, as it is made of a sheet to which the tips are closed to put the weld from side to side along the tube.
Its ends may be beveled or smooth.
With seam (cold or hot rolled) or seamless (cold or hot drawn)
Hot-dip galvanized or black varnished.
Carbon steel has multiple properties: high strength, malleability, and low costs, which make it an excellent material for manufacturing pipe for industrial use.
Uses of the Carbon Steel Pipe
This pipe is ideal for:
- The conduction of fluids, such as:
- Water
- Gas
- Oil
- Steam
- Petroleum products
- Treated or black waters
- Air
- As structural support for ...
Benefits or advantages of carbon steel pipe
Some of the benefits of this excellent pipe material are the following:
- Compared to PVC, carbon steel is much stronger.
- Compared to stainless steel, it is cheaper.
Applications in the industry
These pipes are ideal for the conduction of fluids, such as water, gas, steam, air, oil, oil, petroleum products, treated waters, among others. Besides, they are also used as structural support for industrial buildings and roads.
Some of the multiple applications in the industry of this type of pipe are:
Steel Industry:A106 Grade B is used to drive the water used to cool the mills and the steam that is released from the plant processes.
Hydraulic industry: To handle drinking water, sewage, and treated water. Steel pipes have the main function of transporting drinking water, as well as treated and black water.
The Astm A333 pipes are used to transport the water used to cool the mills and the steam that is released during the plant's processes.
Energy industry: To transport the steam that is created in the generation of electricity and to cool the towers in which steam is generated.
Within this industry, steel pipes are used to drive the steam that is created in the generation of electricity and, at the same time, to cool the towers in which this steam is generated.
Construction:Astm A53 Steel pipes are used as structural pipes and provide support to industrial buildings.
Roads: As structural support, in these cases, it is not required to be so thick.
Transportation: To drive products that are transported in gas pipes, water, chemicals, etc. Alloy Steel Pipe can also be beneficial in transportation.
