Carbon steel piping Introduction

Carbon steel piping is a durable material made from carbon steel, a steel alloy with iron and carbon. Because of its strength and ability to withstand stress, carbon steel pipe is used in a variety of heavy-duty industries like infrastructure, ships, distillers, and chemical fertilizer equipment.

We can offer a range of carbon steel pipes to meet your application needs, including hard-to-find and custom sizes.

Carbon steel piping provides safety and durability. Because it is shock resistant and not affected by harsh environmental conditions like pressure or extreme weather, it is an ideal material for structural applications.

The incredible strength of carbon steel means that carbon steel pipes can be made thinner and with less material while still being able to transport high volumes. This makes carbon steel piping a cost-effective material. Not only can less of it be used, but carbon steel is also recyclable, making it both environmentally-friendly and cost-effective.

Because it’s easy to manufacture, carbon steel piping is a versatile material. We can make it in a variety of thicknesses and dimensions. It’s also easy to cut and bend to fit wherever it's needed. Its also easily connected to joints, valves, and other pipe fittings.

Carbon steel is more commonly used than any other metal and has long been admired for its versatility and low cost. Fulilai stocks a series of carbon steel pipe and steel tubing in an extraordinary range of grades and specifications. Seamless steel pipe and tubing is stocked in outer diameters (OD’s) through 36”, ERW (Electric Resistance Welded) pipe, including rolled and welded pipe and spiral weld pipe, is stocked in OD’s through 60”. 

Steel pipes are classified by production method

(1) The manufacturing process of seamless steel pipes can be divided into basic categories: hot rolling (extrusion), cold rolling (drawing), and hot expanded steel pipes.

(2) Welded pipes can be divided into: straight seam welded steel pipes, submerged arc welded steel pipes, coiled butt welded steel pipes, and welded pipe thermally expanded steel pipes according to the manufacturing process.

(3) According to the shape of the steel pipe, it can be divided into square pipe, rectangular pipe, octagonal, hexagonal, D-shaped, pentagonal and other special-shaped steel pipes. Complex section steel pipe, double concave steel pipe, five-petal plum-shaped steel pipe, conical steel pipe, corrugated steel pipe, melon-shaped steel pipe, double convex steel pipe, etc.

(4) Classification by use - steel pipes for pipelines, steel pipes for thermal equipment, steel pipes for machinery industry, steel pipes for petroleum, geological drilling, container steel pipes, steel pipes for chemical industry, special-purpose steel pipes, other

Applications for Carbon Steel Pipes

• Boiler and condenser tubes
• Transporting wastewater
• Chemical Processing
• High-pressure applications
• Transporting sewage
• Bollard construction
• Shipbuilding
• Shoring
• Trash enclosures
• Distillers
• OEM applications

Carbon Steel Pipes Parameter

Classification

Carbon steel pipes are divided into two categories: hot-rolled and cold-rolled (drawn) steel pipes.
Hot-rolled carbon steel pipes are divided into general steel pipes, low and medium pressure boiler steel pipes, high pressure boiler steel pipes, alloy steel pipes, stainless steel pipes, petroleum cracking pipes, geological steel pipes and other steel pipes.

In addition to general steel pipes, low and medium pressure boiler steel pipes, high pressure boiler steel pipes, alloy steel pipes, stainless steel pipes, petroleum cracking pipes, and other steel pipes, cold-rolled (pulled) carbon steel pipes also include carbon thin-walled steel pipes, alloy thin-walled steel pipes, non-ferrous steel pipes, etc. Rust thin-walled steel pipe, special-shaped steel pipe. The outer diameter of hot-rolled seamless pipes is generally greater than 32mm, and the wall thickness is 2.5-75mm. The outer diameter of cold-rolled seamless pipes can reach 6mm and the wall thickness can reach 0.25mm. The outer diameter of thin-walled pipes can reach 5mm and the wall thickness is less than 0.25mm. Cold rolling has higher dimensional accuracy than hot rolling.

General carbon steel pipe: It is made of 10, 20, 30, 35, 45 and other high-quality carbon steel 16Mn, 5MnV and other low-alloy structural steel or 40Cr, 30CrMnSi, 45Mn2, 40MnB and other alloy steel hot-rolled or cold-rolled. Seamless pipes made of low carbon steel such as 10 and 20 are mainly used for fluid transportation pipelines. 45, 40Cr and other medium carbon steel seamless pipes are used to manufacture mechanical parts, such as the stressed parts of automobiles and tractors. Generally, carbon steel pipes are used to ensure the strength and flattening test. Hot-rolled steel pipes are delivered in hot-rolled or heat-treated state; cold-rolled steel pipes are delivered in heat-treated state.
