A metal pipe is one of the most common types of rolled metal products. They are actively used in many industrial, manufacturing and commercial sectors. Such products are appreciated due to their high performance characteristics, as well as their versatility.
Advantages of metal pipes
The main advantages of metal pipes include:
* Strength. Such products easily withstand various mechanical influences, which allows them to be used without additional protection.
* Durability. The average service life of metal pipes reaches several 10 years.
* Simple renovation. Welding is excellent for repairing metal pipes. It provides high seam strength.
Thus, despite the fact that metal pipe is one of the oldest elements of communication, it is in many ways superior to modern counterparts from others materials. In addition, it has a relatively affordable price given its long-term maintenance-free use and durability.
Metal pipe: application
The use of metal pipes is quite wide, so such products have been divided into classes depending on where they can be used. These include:
* First grade. This category of products includes standard or, as they are called, gas pipes. They are used in the laying of pipelines for the transportation of non-aggressive media, in the formation of load-bearing structures of scaffolding, supports, fences, and also as a protective casing for cables, wires, etc.
* Second class. A metal pipe, which belongs to this category of products, can be used for laying main pipelines through which oil products, gas, water, fuel are transported under low and high pressure.
* Third class. Pipes of this category are suitable for use in high pressure systems where environments with high temperatures pass. Such products can be found in the food industry, ovens, boiler plants, nuclear power plants, etc.
It should be noted that the classification of pipes can be carried out according to many other characteristics. The assortment of such products includes thousands of items that differ in the production method, structural materials, dimensional characteristics, etc. The choice of this or that type of pipes directly depends on the place and conditions of them
