Seamless steel pipes and tubes are commonly used in ship construction, oil and gas, mining, power plants and boilers, railways, highways, nuclear stations, pharmaceuticals, automobile construction and more. They are less prone to leakage or corrosion which makes them suitable for oil and gas industries. Thus, they are widely used for construction of highways, roofing and architectural cladding.. There are some great advantages of seamless pipes for commercial use. Welded pipes tend to leak or corrode from the joints; hence, replacing them with seamless steel pipe, especially the coated ones are definitely a better choice for commercial purposes.
Seamless steel pipe can be more expensive than welded pipe sometimes, but are still preferred over welded materials.Strength Under extreme environmentsIt can withstand extreme hot or extreme cold temperature, thus making its application broader in industries such as chemical plants and pharmaceutical factories. Welded pipes go through added heat and stress around the seams due to which they are not as round and get smoother finish as seamless tubes and pipes. Unlike welded joints that are prone to breakage, there are no weak points in seamless tubing because it doesn’t have any seam and the pressure is spread uniformly across the whole circumference of the pipe.
