When purchasing steel pipes, you will find that there are two main types of steel pipes, one is seamed steel pipe and the other is seamless steel pipe. So what are the differences between the two?
The difference between seamed steel pipe and seamless steel pipe
1. From the definition point of view: seamless steel pipe is a steel pipe perforated by a whole round steel, and there is no weld on the surface; seamed steel pipe, also known as welded steel pipe, is made of easy-to-weld carbon steel.
2. From the point of view of processing technology: seamless steel pipe is made by direct perforation and rolling of billet, while seamed steel pipe is made of steel plate or steel strip through cutting, bending, welding and other processing procedures.
3. From the point of view of use: seamless steel pipes can be used to transport liquids, and can also be used as structural parts, mainly used in the machinery industry, and seamed pipes are used in the construction industry, such as water, gas and other low-pressure fluids.
4. From the appearance: there are no welding marks on the surface of the seamless steel pipe, because it is made of perforated pipe blanks, while the seamed steel pipe is welded, and there will be a welding line on its surface, also called a welding rib.
5. From the point of view of pressure: the seamless steel pipe is generally stronger than the seamed steel pipe.
6. From the price point of view: Due to the complicated production process of seamless pipes, the price is much more expensive than that of seamed steel pipes. When buying, you can consider the actual use. If you don’t know which one to buy, you can consult a professional before making a decision.
Matters needing attention when purchasing seamless steel pipes:
1. Before buying, it is best to first understand the major brands. The product quality of each brand is different, and the price will be very different. You can consider it according to your own economic ability. It is recommended to buy products from big brands, so that you don't need to worry about quality problems, and you can use them with confidence.
2. After the seamless steel pipe is purchased, it should be placed in a dry place and not exposed to water, so as to avoid rusting. Before use, also check carefully to see if there is rust or stains on the surface, and if there is, clean it up.
3. Remember to buy seamless steel pipes in a reliable way, so you don't have to worry about buying inferior products. You can go directly to the local building materials market to buy them. If you buy a large amount, you can also contact the manufacturer directly.
