Some of the diverse applications of Stainless steel seamless pipe



Stainless steel seamless pipes have become very common these days and are offered by almost all steel pipes manufacturers. The benefits such as higher corrosion resistance than carbon steel and conventional stainless steel and light –weightiness make the design and construction compact and light. Stainless steel is composed of copper, chromium, nickel, tungsten, manganese, etc. and is therefore rust resistant. Stainless steel seamless pipes can prove to be a cheaper alternative to the nickel alloys, which are very costly. Steel has higher strength which leads to reduced thicknesses of section and therefore has reduced weight. It also exhibits good weld ability in thick sections and the ability to be welded is more in stainless steel. Resistance to stress corrosion cracking: Austenitic steel is prone to such corrosions. The resistance posed by stainless steel to stress corrosion cracking makes this material fit for purposes like Hot water boilers, brewing tanks and desalination, structure of swimming pools, etc.

Some of the advantages of using steel seamless pipes in the industry

Increased strength leading to saving of weight.
It has  better stress corrosion resistance
Price is lower as compared to other alloys
These pipes can handle a lot of pressure and adverse weather condition.

Reasons for Wide spread applications of steel pipes

Steel was invented around 100 years ago. The importance of steel has risen by leaps and bounds due to various reasons and attributes of steel. Steel does not get rusted easily and is light-weight as compared to Iron. It is durable, ductile, malleable, corrosion resistant and fire-resistant among scores of other benefits. All these features of Steel have made it the king of raw materials used in almost every industry. Steel is mostly used as structural steel which is the most preferred framework material for residential as well as non-residential construction. The steel beams and columns are the skeleton of the building and support the entire construction just like the bones in a body do. Angle bars, I-Beams, H beams, IPE etc. are some of the other structural elements requited in the construction. It is therefore clear that steel is indispensable in industries. The specially processed steel like galvanised steel has made steel more versatile and fit for various purposes. Some of the commonly used steel products are steel sections, steel pipe, steel tube, steel coil, steel sheet and steel plate. The process of galvanisation increases the strength and durability of steel. Steel has several grades and steel prices vary accordingly. Other types of steel are:

Galvanised steel
Galvalume Steel
Prepainted Steel
Hot rolled steel
Cold rolled steel
Stainless steel pipe and tubes are some of the most common application of steel which are used in most industries as well as household. Steel pipes are used as curtain and drapery rods, plumbing pipes, parts of the mechanical equipments and various other uses.
