Being a popular building material, steel pipes have a huge variety of designs and shapes. Various types of work involve the use of products with certain quality characteristics. Therefore, the production of many types of pipes is justified and necessary.
Types and types of steel pipes
Are you planning to buy a metal pipe , but not sure about your choice? First of all, decide what kind of product you need.
So, according to the manufacturing method, welded and seamless products are distinguished. Seamless pipes are more expensive, but also more reliable.
According to the availability of coverage, they are divided into products:
- with outer cover;
- with lining;
- with outer and inner lining.
The material criterion divides pipes into two categories:
- alloy (stainless) steel;
- in plain steel.
In turn, pipes made of ordinary steel are:
- galvanized;
- hot and cold rolled;
- cold drawn;
- thick and thin walled;
- profiled.
The classification is not exhaustive - there are a large number of varieties.
Purpose of steel pipes
The purpose and scope of a particular type of steel pipes directly depend on their quality characteristics.
- So, stainless steel pipes are used for the needs of special construction, associated with the impact of aggressive substances on the metal. The stainless material is also preferred in the food and machinery industries.
- Galvanized products are used for the construction of trunk pipelines.
- Thick-walled products are designed for heating systems.
Profile pipes, which are a complex of products of numerous shapes and configurations, are widely used for construction. Depending on the shape, profile pipes are distinguished:
- round;
- square;
- rectangular;
- triangular;
- polygonal.
The range of use of shaped pipes is really huge. So, for example, you can buy a round pipe in any size and diameter, it is used to collect lightweight structures, pieces of furniture, fences, medical equipment manufacturing, etc.
Profile pipes serve as an element of external and internal metal
