Carbon steel pipe are ubiquitous and it is practically found in all industrial sectors. So, what is carbon steel pipe and what is its chemical composition? Next, Prime Steel Pipe will give you answer.
What is Carbon Steel Pipe?
Carbon Steel Pipe are basically metal alloys that are composed as a result of carbon and iron. In the process of manufacturing steel pipe, manufacturers add carbon to iron in order to solidify the overall structures and successfully strengthen the resulting metal. Carbon steel is the most cost-effective alloying material found in the market. They are also classified into four categories namely low-carbon, medium-carbon, high-carbon and ultra-high carbon steels. The steel present in the alloy is considered to be complete carbon steel only when the proportions of other evident elements present in it do not exceed any certain percentages. However, the maximum percentages that should be typically present in the alloy to form carbon steel is supposed to be 1.65 percent of manganese, 0.6 percent for copper and silicon, and 0.4 percent of copper, respectively.
Carbon steel pipe has multiple types of pipe, including welded steel pipe (such as ERW steel pipe, LSAW steel pipe, SSAW steel pipe) and seamless steel pipe. Welded steel pipe is the pipe that welded by steel plate, there is a weld seam on the pipe. But seamless steel pipe is manufactured by steel bar, it has no weld seam. They are pipes that are cast in such a manner that do not leave any seams to weaken the pipes. Furthermore, speaking of its dimensions, a pipe which has an identifying number or particular size will have the same dimensions regardless who is its manufacturer.
