Types of steel pipes and uses in piping industries

 Since the manufacturing process has greatly changed and has become more complex. The industries are involved in producing a variety of ranges of pipes that suits the demands and requirement of the clients. There are many types and range of steel pipes available in the market that is offered by the companies.  All these types of steel pipes have different features and properties that make it useful as per its suitability.

Talking about the steel alloy, these consider carbon and iron including with a small percentage of other metals like aluminium, chromium, and nickel. Combining with other elements these steel pipes forms other ranges and types. Here are the types of steel pipes mention below-

Carbon Steel Pipes – These are a range of steel pipes that are designed from the proportion of carbon content adding up with iron content.  Similarly, carbon steel exhibits superior resistance to corrosion and durability. Apart from these are further categorized into four types based on the amount of carbon included in the alloy. These are low carbon steel, medium carbon steel, high carbon steel, and very high carbon steel. These pipes are extensively used in many industries basically in oil, gas transmission, automobiles, etc.  This pipe holds superb workability, ductility, strength and is safe to use.

Alloy Steel Pipes– By its name it suggests that these pipes are formed with a specified amount of other elements. The major alloying element, it includes is manganese, chromium, nickel, titanium, aluminium, and copper. This alloy steel pipe is considered a workhorse of many industries due to its extensive availability, inexpensive cost, and ease of processing.  Due to its exceptional performance properties, these are used in oil refineries, power generations, petrochemicals, chemical plants and in sugar mills. The addition of elements imparts superior corrosion resistance to pipes. Furthermore, it possesses good strength, ductility, mechanical properties and durability that enable to withstand in high-temperature circumstances.

Stainless Steel Pipes- These steel pipes have belonged to the family of steel that generally comprises 10 to 30% of chromium in addition to low carbon content. Furthermore, these include molybdenum, titanium, copper, nitrogen, aluminium and nickel content. This addition of content imparts superior useful properties that enhance superior resistance to corrosion and formability.  Therefore on the surface of the steel, the presence of chromium content creates a thin layer of the oxide that is known as the passive layer that provides great prevention from further corrosion.

These stainless steel 321H pipes exhibit superior resistance to crevice and stress corrosion cracking in elevated temperatures. To increase impact resistance and strength of the pipes these are properly heat treated. These pipes are used in various industrial applications such as pharmaceutical, oil and gas applications,  food production and in power generations.

 The manufacturing of these ranges of steel pipe is done with the use of high quality of raw material and with highly advanced machinery. These are the most common types and range that is utilized worldwide and are highly appreciable by the clients.

All You Need To Know About Stainless Steel Pipes

Are you willing to buy a stainless steel pipe product and do not know where to buy? If yes, then you are at right place. Bhansali Overseas is a leading supplier and manufacturer of stainless steel product. They offer a high-quality product to their client at market leading price. The stainless steel pipe is always in demand as it comes with various features like superior finishing, good toughness, high strength, creep rupture and tensile property and more. It is designed in custom made size and dimensions and as per the specific demand of the client. This SS pipe is available to meet the international and national standard and various industry norms. This pipe is used in a number of industrial applications.

It comes in two types: seamless and welded. Stainless steel of Seamless pipe is used in the applications that require internal pressure within the pipe such as process equipment, water treatment, and marine applications. The stainless steel pipe of welded type is used for structural applications that are exposed to the corrosive environment and other external applications including handrails, poles and support piping etc.

Specification of Stainless steel Pipe:

It is available in various grade and dimensions, you can buy it as per your specific demand. The stainless steel pipe comes in various grades like ASTM, ASME, 304/304L, 309S, 309H, 316/316L, 317/317L, 310,321,420 and other equivalent standards. It is available in various surfaces finishing like bright, pickling, annealing, mechanical and manual polish. This pipe is available in many forms like round, square, rectangular, hydraulic etc and it has a plain, beveled and threaded end. The length of the stainless steel pipe is varied according to grade and dimensions. The standard size has ½”, thickness lies in 0.5mm to 50mm and diameter 6mm to 680 mm.

It is available in many types like adapters, elbows, flanges, tees, cross, caps and plugs. The stainless steel alloy contains the chromium and nickel content and little bit molybdenum content. The stainless steel pipe can withstand extreme pressure and temperature conditions and offer longer service life.

Applications of Stainless steel pipe:

·         Stainless Steel 304L Pipes is used in Equipment Manufacturing, Mining, Oil Refineries, Chemical manufacturing, Steel and Aluminum Manufacturing, Utilities and Transportation, and Industrial Construction.

·         Stainless Steel 904L Pipes is often used in utility scrubber assemblies, acid and fertilizer production equipment.

Testing and packaging:

If we discuss its packaging the stainless steel pipe is packed in wooden boxes/pallet/cases and it is wrapped in bubble and aluminum foil in order to protect from damage, during the delivery process. Before dispatching end product to the client it is approved by third party inspection report, NABL laboratory test and other standard test certification. These pipes are strictly subjected to test like hardening test, radiography test, ultrasonic test and other.
