Steel Pipe Pricing And Advantages

  Steel Pipe Pricing And Advantages Steel piping is a popular material in so many industries–from oil to automobiles, from shipping to food, from schools to hospitals and refineries.

  Let’s look at some of the top reasons why engineers, builders, pipe suppliers and oil drillers love steel pipes and why they’re preferred in so many different applications.

  Heat Treatable

  Some steel pipe are heat treatable, meaning that extreme temperatures can be used to modify their chemical and physical properties.

  Strength

  Steel pipes have great tensile and stress-to-rupture strength, and they can maintain this strength even at high temperatures.

  Temperature Resistant

  Steel pipes provide excellent resistance to oxidation at extremely high temperatures. And when chromium is added to the steel, it makes the steel even more temperature resistant.

  Welding Capabilities

  Many grades of steel pipe can be welded into different shapes and sizes–giving them great versatility. However, heavy-duty equipment may be needed during the welding process because steel can harden quickly when it cools.

  Resistance to Corrosion, Versatility

  Because of all the properties mentioned above, steel pipes can be used in a variety of settings and conditions.

  Low Maintenance Cost

  Though steel pipe pricing isn’t necessarily lower than that of other materials, because steel pipes are resistant to corrosion, they tend to last longer than many other types of pipe. This means you’ll have to spend less time and money repairing or replacing them, making them more cost effective in the long run.

  Steel pipe pricing will vary based on the type of project, as well as its scope and size.

  Before you select a specific grade of steel, you should evaluate your project to determine what qualities your pipe must have. Will the pipe need to withstand a marine environment? Will it be exposed to high temperatures? Will it be carrying potentially corrosive fluids?
