Seamless steel pipe for fluid conveying is the pipe with hollow sections.
Annular parts is made by pipe can improve the material utilization rate,
simplify the production process, economizing material and
working time, such as rolling bearing ferrule, Jack sets etc., has been
widely made by steel pipe, it’s also unnecessary materials of various
conventional weapons, like gun barrels. According to the different shape
of the steel pipe, it can be divided into circular pipe and shaped
tube. The circle area is the largest, due to the condition of same
perimeter, so the circular pipes can be used to transport more fluid. In
addition, the ring cross section is uniformly radial pressure to internal
or external, therefore, most of steel pipe is a circular.
Manufacturing Method
Ordinary boiler tube, average working temperature is below 450℃, mainly manufacturing by carbon steel hot rolling or cold drawn tube.
High pressure boiler tube is often working in high temperature and pressure conditions, under the long-term action of high temperature flue gas and water vapor, steel pipe will be oxidation and corrosion, so it has to be high strength, high corrosion resistance and good stability.
Usage
Boiler tube is mainly used to manufacture water wall tube, boiling water pipe, superheated steam pipe, superheated steam pipe for motorcycle boilers, large and small smoking pipe and generating tube etc..
High pressure boiler tube is mainly used to manufacturing superheated tube
of ultra high pressure boiler and reheated tube, guide tube, main steam pipe so
on.
Water, oil, gas etc transportation is used for ordinary steel pipe, but, circular
pipe has some limitations, such as in conditions bending plane, the bending
strength is less than rectangular tube, so some farm skeleton, steel-wooden
furniture etc constantly use square, rectangular tube. According to
different usages, other shapes of cross section of tubes is necessary.
