Carbon Steel Pipe

What are 7 applications for carbon steel pipe in the industry?

Carbon steel is an alloy of carbon and steel to make the most used carbon steel pipes. Since it has excellent properties, these pipes find applications in many industries. A few properties include high strength, resistance to high temperature, & pressure to be suitable for applications in harsh environments. Since I work as a manager in a reputed pipe supplier, I can share the seven applications of the best carbon seamless steel pipes, including the following.

• These pipes are best used in high-duty industries like ships, infrastructure, chemical fertilizer equipment, distillers, etc. 
• Because of the wide availability of these pipes, they are suitable for many applications like process piping and others. 
• Black carbon steel pipe  and other pipes with high ductility and machinability for use in high-temperature applications
• Since these high-quality pipes have many easy connection possibilities are best for use in domestic, commercial, and industrial piping systems.
• The potential to withstand high pressure and temperature makes it ideal for transporting oil and natural gas.
• The high strength of these  carbon Steel seamless pipes  is best for building foundations and others. 
• The other applications include transporting wastewater & sewerage, chemical processing, bollard construction, etc.

Difference between carbon steel tube and CS pipe

Since CS and carbon steel are the same and made from iron and carbon alloy, the difference is between the pipe and tube. Though many use these two terms interchangeably, there are a few differences between CS tube and CS pipe, including the following, among others.

• While pipes are only circular, the CS tubes can be in different shapes, like cylindrical, rectangular, square, etc. 
• Carbon steel tubes  are best for making medical devices requiring accurate OD or outside diameters, and pipes with even distributing force are best for transporting gases and liquids.

What is the thickness of carbon steel tubing?

The range of the wall thickness of the carbon steel tubing is from 2 mm to 90 mm, with an outside diameter between 12.7 mm and 900 mm. If the carbon steel tubes’ wall thickness is measured by a standard gauge ranging from 7 to 22 shows varying results. Choosing the seamless carbon steel tube with the right thickness is essential to be suitable for specific applications.

Is carbon pipe good for piping?

Carbon pipe is undoubtedly good for piping and many other applications. It is because of its unique combination of iron and carbon alloy with other elements. Hence carbon pipes have excellent properties like high strength even being useful piping in oil and gas industries. Also, it is best for domestic and commercial piping for safe drinking and wastewater transport.

What is the coating on the CS SMLS tube?

One significant disadvantage of Carbon seamless pipes and tubes is rusting because of the iron presence. CS SMLS tubes are also best for many applications because of the following coatings.

• A zinc coating has high corrosion resistance to be useful in many applications in several sectors.  
• There are five typical interior coatings for CS SMLS pipes for water transmission: cement mortar, coal tar enamel, FBE or fusion bonded epoxy, and PU or polyurethane.

What is a stronger schedule 40 or 80 CS seamless pipe?

The schedule or SCH 40 or SCH 80 carbon steel pipes are the differences in their wall thickness and weight that depends on the nominal pipe size. The following are the few differences between the schedule SCH 80 or SCH 40 carbon steel pipes, among others.

• SCH 80 CS seamless pipes have more wall thickness than 40 pipes
• Schedule 40 CS seamless pipes have a standard weight, whereas 80 will have a higher weight
• Schedule 80 pipes are stronger and more useful in many applications than 40 pipes.
