Seamless steel pipes are used in a wide range of fields, such as construction and transportation. The reason why seamless steel pipes can be widely used in this way lies in their own advantages. The seamless steel pipe adopts a series of high-tech manufacturing technology and has excellent quality. So, what are the differences between seamless steel pipe and welded pipe?
The forming processes of seamless steel pipes and welded pipes are different. Ordinary steel pipes are generally welded by bending flat materials. This process is relatively simple and rough, and a weld can be found on the finished product after processing. The seamless steel pipe is generally formed by processing the molten steel through an annular slit and then forming it by stretching and other treatment processes. There is no welding seam under this process.
In terms of performance, seamless steel pipes have greatly improved the pressure-bearing capacity of ordinary steel pipes, so they are often used in high-pressure equipment, such as pipeline connections for hydraulic equipment. The welding seam of ordinary steel pipe is its weak link, and the quality of the welding seam is also the main factor that affects its overall performance.
