Seamless Pipe
05.41
The seamless steel pipe manufacturing process starts
with a solid, round steel billet. This billet is then heated to great
temperatures and stretched and pulled over a form until it takes the shape of a
hollow tube. As other steel pipe suppliers will tell you, there are three great advantages to making a pipe in this way.
Increased Pressure Ratings
The greatest advantage of seamless steel pipes is
their increased ability to withstand pressure. The weakest point in a welded
steel pipe is the welded seam. But because a seamless steel pipe has not been
welded, it doesn’t have that seam, making it equally strong around the entire
circumference of the pipe.
It is also much easier to determine pressure
calculations without being required to take weld quality into consideration.
Although seamless pipe can sometimes be more
expensive than welded pipe, this increased ability to withstand pressure allows
you to use pipes that are thinner and lighter, which can help cut down on
expenses.
Uniformity of Shape
Because welded seam pipe is wrapped around another
form before it is welded, and because welding adds heat, stress and other
extraneous variables to the forming process, it can never be as round as
seamless steel pipe.
Seamless steel pipe is a continuous extrusion of the
alloy, meaning that it will have a round cross section that you can count on,
which is helpful when you’re installing pipes or adding fittings.
Strength Under Loads
Seamless steel pipe can sometimes be more expensive
than other forms of steel pipe, but it’s also more reliable.
This is because it has greater strength under
loading. Empty pipe must always support its own weight, but when a pipe is
filled with material–or under load–it must also support that weight as well.
Pipe failures and leaks in welded pipes usually occur at the welded seam. But
because seamless pipe doesn’t have that seam, it isn’t subject to those
failures.
These benefits make seamless steel pipes the
preferred material in an array of commercial pipe applications,
including ship building, pipelines, oil rigs, oil field equipment, pressure
vessels, machinery parts and offshore rigs. An additional benefit of seamless
pipes is that they perform well in harsh conditions, which means that they can
be used in extremely cold or hot environments.

steel pipes are still popular , But their life span is just one fourth of upvc pipes. So in borewell using upvc casing pipe and upvc column pipe is a good idea.
