Seamless Pipes

Welded and seamless steel pipes differ primarily in their manufacturing process, which significantly impacts their structure, performance, and application. Welded pipes are made by forming and welding steel sheets or plates around their circumference, creating a seam. This process allows for the production of large diameters and specific shapes at a lower cost. However, the presence of a seam can be a weak point, especially under high pressure. Seamless pipes, on the other hand, are manufactured by extruding steel at high temperatures, creating a pipe without seams. This seamless construction provides superior strength and durability, making them ideal for high-pressure applications and environments where pipe integrity is critical. Seamless pipes generally have a higher price point due to their complex production process but offer enhanced performance in demanding conditions.
