Classification of steel pipes

Steel pipe is a type of metal pipe, usually made of steel, used to transport liquids, gases, solids and other substances, as well as for structural support and other engineering applications.

Steel pipes have a variety of types, specifications and uses, the following are some common steel pipe types and their characteristics:

Seamless Steel Pipe (Seamless Steel Pipe) : Seamless steel pipe is made by hot rolled or cold drawn process, there is no obvious welding seam. Its smooth surface and precise inner and outer diameter are suitable for high-pressure, high-temperature and other demanding occasions, such as oil, gas, chemical and nuclear energy fields.

1.Welded Steel Pipe: Welded steel pipe is welded steel sheet or steel strip through the welding process, and can be divided into long weld steel pipe and spiral weld steel pipe. Welded steel pipes are suitable for general conveying and structural purposes, such as buildings, Bridges, drainage systems, etc.

2.Galvanized Steel Pipe: Galvanized steel pipe is coated with a layer of zinc on the surface of the steel pipe to improve its corrosion resistance. It is usually used in outdoor environments, such as water pipes, gas pipes, guardrails, etc.

3.Stainless Steel Pipe: Stainless steel pipe is made of stainless steel and has excellent corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance. It is widely used in food, chemical, medical, decoration and other fields.

4.Square and Rectangular Tubes (Square and Rectangular Tubes) : Square and rectangular tubes have a unique shape and are often used in architecture, structure and decoration, such as building frames, guardrails, furniture, etc.

Application of seamless steel pipe and welded steel pipe: Seamless steel pipe is often used for transportation under high pressure and high temperature conditions, such as oil, natural gas, chemical and other fields. Welded steel pipes are commonly used for low pressure, general conveying and structural purposes, such as construction, drainage, heating, etc.

Special steel pipes: There are some special types of steel pipes, such as alloy steel pipes, wire rope pipes, pipe sleeves, etc., which have special uses in specific fields.

In short, as an important engineering material, steel pipe has a wide range of applications in various fields. Different types of steel pipes have different characteristics and scope of application, and the choice of the right type of steel pipe needs to be determined according to the specific use requirements and environmental conditions.
