Seamless Carbon Steel Tube

1. Definition and classification

Definition: Carbon steel pipe is made of steel ingot or solid round steel through perforation into rough tube, and then hot rolled, cold rolled or cold drawn.

Classification: Carbon steel pipe is mainly divided into two categories: hot rolled and cold rolled (drawn). Hot rolled carbon steel pipe includes general steel pipe, low and medium pressure boiler steel pipe, high pressure boiler steel pipe, alloy steel pipe, stainless steel pipe, petroleum cracking pipe, geological steel pipe, etc.; cold rolled (drawn) carbon steel pipe includes carbon thin wall steel pipe, alloy thin wall steel pipe, stainless thin wall steel pipe, special shaped steel pipe, etc. in addition to the above types.

2. Specifications and dimensions

Hot rolled seamless pipe: the outer diameter is generally greater than 32mm, and the wall thickness is between 2.5-75mm.

Cold rolled seamless steel pipe: the outer diameter can reach 6mm, the minimum wall thickness can reach 0.25mm, the outer diameter of thin wall pipe can reach 5mm, and the wall thickness is less than 0.25mm. Cold rolled steel pipe has higher dimensional accuracy than hot rolled steel pipe.

3. Characteristics and Uses

Characteristics:

High strength: able to withstand greater pressure and weight.

Good corrosion resistance: can be used in various corrosive environments.

High and low temperature resistance: has good heat and low temperature resistance.

Good processability: can be made into pipes of various shapes and sizes through various processing methods.

Economical: relatively low price, with good economy.

Uses:

Widely used in the support and drainage system of building structures.

In the oil and gas industry, used for oil well pipes, oil pipelines, drilling pipes, etc.

Pipeline systems for transporting chemicals, liquids and gases in the chemical industry.

Important materials in urban water supply and drainage systems.

In the field of mechanical manufacturing, it is used to manufacture various mechanical equipment and parts, such as automobiles, ships, aircraft, etc.

4.Manufacturing process

The raw material is a round tube billet, which is made by cutting, heating, perforating, rolling or extruding, de-tube sizing, cooling, straightening, flaw detection and other processes.

Hot-rolled steel pipes are delivered in hot-rolled or heat-treated state; cold-rolled steel pipes are delivered in heat-treated state.
