The biggest difference between seamless steel pipe and other long strips is that there is no joint around it, and the section of steel pipe is hollow. Due to different cross-sectional shapes, it is often classified as circular steel pipe and heterosexual steel pipe. Of course, circular steel pipe is more common in terms of actual use efficiency. Wonder what are the uses of seamless steel pipe?
When it comes to the use of seamless steel pipe, what we are most familiar with is its fluid transportation used in daily life, such as natural gas and water. In addition to these common and familiar transportation of natural gas and water, seamless steel pipe is also widely used to transport oil, gas and some solid materials. The pipeline transportation realized by seamless steel pipe facilitates people’s modern life and greatly reduces the transportation cost of natural resources.
Secondly, because the seamless steel pipe is hollow, its mass is much lighter than that of solid steel pipe, which is naturally more economical and affordable. Therefore, it plays an important role in the manufacture of structural parts and components in the manufacture of transmission shafts for automobiles, drill pipes for petroleum, pedal frames and so on. At the same time, it also reduces unnecessary waste of resources and reduces the total weight of finished products.
In addition, seamless steel pipe is often used as the raw material of annular metal parts, which not only saves a large number of complex processes, but also greatly reduces the steel loss in the production process and saves the production cost. This processing principle is not difficult to understand. It is a bit similar to cutting cabbage. Cutting with a knife can quickly obtain small ring parts and minimize the loss.
The above mentioned seamless steel pipes are all seamless steel pipes with circular cross section. This kind of circular seamless steel pipe is not perfect. Its bending resistance is relatively poor and can not bear large forces. Therefore, in the use of framework and furniture of agricultural machinery, the seamless steel pipe will be forged into square or rectangular shape to increase the compressive strength of seamless steel pipe.
