seamless pipe types

When it comes to seamless pipe, the three main types of production are hot finished, cold finished, and hot rolled – each offering its own distinct advantages and disadvantages.

Steelpipe which is both melted and drawn is referred to as hot finished seamless pipe. It provides exceptional strength, durability, and corrosion-resistance, making it an ideal choice for large-scale structural projects. Although it comes at a higher price than cold finished or hot rolled pipe varieties, the hot finished seamless pipe solution offers increased value over the life of a project.

Seamless pipe made from drawn steel that is allowed to cool to room temperature is known as cold finished seamless pipe. It is a preferred choice for small-diameter, thin-walled applications due to its impressive accuracy and surface finish. Cold finished pipe may be pricier than hot rolled pipe, but its advantages easily outweigh any added cost.

Exhibiting impressive levels of strength, durability, and corrosion resistance, hot rolled seamless pipe is perfected by being rolled and drawn steel that is then cooled to a comfortable room temperature. This particular type of pipe has proven to be the perfect selection when large-diameter, heavy-walled needs are in demand – although it should also be noted that the cost of hot rolled pipe can be more expensive in comparison to other forms (such as cold finished or hot finished).
