Three main advantages by making steel pipe with seamless method(2)

We’ve talked about merit of increased pressure rating for seamless steel pipe. And today’s essay would pay attention to another merit for it, which is uniformity of shape for this kind of steel pipe.

Special production process would lead to special tube’s characters. Today, we would like to make a comparison for welded steel pipe and seamless steel pipe. For welded tube, they are wrapped around another form before they are welded. This would cause the unbalance for the characters. At the same time, due to the welding adding heat, stress and other extraneous variables to the forming process, it can never be as round as seamless steel pipe. Of course, these factors would never happen among seamless steel pipe and it is a continuous production process. This means it can avoid these drawbacks perfectly. So we can get benefit when we are installing pipes or adding fittings.
