Seamless steel pipes  are often used in various engineering projects. What are its advantages? Today we will introduce them in detail.

A seamless steel pipe is made of a single piece of metal, and it does not have a jointed steel pipe on the surface. As its name suggests, seamless steel pipe does not have a seam (crease) or a welded joint.

Seamless pipe is made from a round steel billet (solid cylindrical hunk of steel that is cast from raw steel). This billet is then heated, stretched out, and pushed or pulled over a form. It is then pierced through the center with a die and mandrel which increases the inside diameter and reduces the outside diameter. Even though seamless pipes are manufactured in a variety of sizes, with an increase in pipe diameter the production cost increases. The name seamless comes from its absence of a seam. Seamless pipes are widely used in process piping, power piping, shipbuilding, pressure vessel, construction, and chemical industries.

• The main advantage of these pipes is they do not have the issue with a welded seam. This is usually seen as an area that is weak in the pipe and many people worry this is going to mean it will break easier. With improvements in manufacturing, this is not as true anymore and the absence of the weld seam is not as big of an issue anymore.

• These pipes can provide you with some peace of mind. They do not have a seam so you will not have to worry about getting any seams that are not as strong as they should be.

• These kinds of pipes will have more roundness or oval shape than welded steel pipes, making them better to use for a lot of projects which you have since they are not going to get caught on anything.

• As you can see, each pipe offers its own unique advantages over its counterpart. Often the welded steel pipes are preferred because they have better prices, are easier to get whenever you need them, and the perceived disadvantages in terms of the welded seam have been fixed and are not as apparent. Each of the pipes will be used for various projects and everyone is going to have a preference for the one that they would like to use for their needs.

• Seamless pipes have better ovality, or roundness than welded pipes.
