What is a Pipe? The pipe is a straight pressure tight cylindrical hollow, used in the piping system to transport liquid, gas and sometimes solids. Different types of pipes are used in different design conditions, considering technical and commercial parameters. Click Here to know about History of Pipes. Most metallic pipes are stronger and harder [...]
What is Galvanizing? Features of Galvanized Steels Steels, galvanized steels and aluminum alloys are industrially important metals that are produced in large quantities. Of these materials the corrosion protection of steel is most challenging, even if iron is nobler than zinc or aluminum. To prevent steel parts from rusting there are two options: Switch to [...]
Heat treatment of pipe depends on the way it is manufactured - hot finished or cold finished. Selection of heat treatment methods will depend on types of material and on what material properties you want to restore or further enhancement on existing properties. In the case of Hot Finished Pipe, no heat treatment is required. [...]
What is Stainless Steel? Stainless steel is the generic name for a number of different steels used primarily for their resistance to corrosion. Stainless steels are produced by adding at least 11% chromium to steel to produce a thin passive protective layer of Cr2Q3, which promotes corrosion resistance. This is improved by further increasing the chromium [...]
What is a Pipe: - The pipe is pressure tight circular hollow section that used in piping systems to transport gases or fluids. Steel Pipe with Large Diameter What is a Tube: - Over the internet, you will find that tube is a circular structural member and the confusion start from here. In [...]
Pipe markings save lives. Pipes are used in facilities to transport liquids and gasses from one place to another, both short and long distances. Most facilities have dozens of pipes moving different things around the facility, so it is important to be able to keep track of what is in each pipe and where it [...]
History of Steel Pipes In 1830, the first furnace was built in the United States for making wrought iron pipe. Soon thereafter, more furnaces came into production. The demand was enormous because of the need for water distribution in fast-growing cities. Those wrought iron pipes were in small diameters and few sizes. Production was limited [...]
Welded Pipes Welded Pipe Welded pipe (pipe manufactured with a weld) is a tubular product made out of flat plates, known as skelp that are formed, bent and prepared for welding. The most popular process for large diameter pipe uses a longitudinal seam weld. Spiral welded pipe is an alternative process, spiral weld [...]
