seamless steel pipe

 A seamless steel pipe is a long strip of steel with a hollow cross-section and no seams around it. Steel pipe has a hollow cross-section and is used in large quantities as a pipeline for transporting fluids, such as oil, natural gas, gas, water, and certain solid materials. Compared with solid steel such as round steel, steel pipe is lighter in weight when the bending and torsional strength is the same, is economic cross-sectional steel, widely used in the manufacture of structural and mechanical parts, such as oil drilling rods, automobile drive shafts, bicycle frames and steel scaffolding used in construction. Steel pipe manufacturing ring parts, can improve material utilization, simplify the manufacturing process, saving materials and processing hours, such as rolling bearing rings, jack sets, etc., has been widely used to manufacture steel pipe. Steel pipe is also a variety of conventional weapons indispensable materials, gun barrels, barrels, etc. to steel pipe to manufacture. Steel tubes can be divided into round tubes and shaped tubes according to the different shapes of the cross-sectional area. As the circular area is the largest under the condition of equal circumference, more fluid can be conveyed with circular tubes. In addition, the circular cross-section in the internal or external radial pressure, the force is more uniform, therefore, the vast majority of steel pipe is a circular pipe. However, the round tube also has certain limitations, such as in the plane bending conditions, the round tube is not as strong as the square, rectangular tube bending strength, some agricultural machinery skeleton, steel and wood furniture, etc. are commonly used square, rectangular tube. According to different uses also a need to have other cross-sectional shapes of shaped steel pipe.

Shaped seamless steel tubes are widely used for various structural parts, tools and mechanical parts. Compared with round tubes, shaped tubes generally have a larger moment of inertia and cross-sectional modulus, and have greater bending and torsional resistance, which can greatly reduce the weight of the structure and save steel.
