Polished Stainless Steel Pipe
|
| What is a Polished Stainless Steel Pipe? |
A stainless steel polished pipe is manufactured with advance techniques using high quality material as per the industry norms. External polishing is more common for decorative applications while internal polishing is usually in analytical applications. In polished tubing and piping, the smoothness of the surfaces of those components is often important, particularly the interior surfaces that contact the process fluids in the process systems.

| What is the Difference Between Pipe and Tube? |
The terms pipes and tubes are often used interchangeably, but there are quite a few differences between pipe and tube:
1. Pipes are generally measured by the inside diameter, often called the “nominal” diameter ( ASME/ANSI B 36.10 Welded and Seamless Wrought Steel Pipe), and a “schedule”, which refers to the wall thickness. Where as tube measurements are always done by outside diameters and wall thickness. The thickness of a tubes is often specified as gauge (18 SWG, 16 SWG etc.)
2. Pipes are generally used for process pipe lines for movement of fluids, gases, or air, whereas tubes are used for heat exchanger & fired heater & in instrument connection.
3. Up to 12” NPS pipe outside diameter of the pipe is more than 12” and above 12”, it is same as pipe size. Whereas for the tube outside diameter is always equal to the size of the tube.
4. Pipes are generally available in sizes from 1/8" to 80", but tubes are generally considered for high pressure applications and are smaller in sizes, may be upto 8".

| What is the Difference Between Welded & Seamless Pipe? |
Stainless steel pipes are available in a wide range of sizes, materials, lengths, and origins. Before purchasing and designing for a piping system, one of the key factors that must be considered is the type of pipe : Seamless or Welded.
1. Manufacturing Process : Seamless steel pipe is manufactured by the round steel billet, through hot rolling, cold rolling or cold drawn processes, no seam on the pipe body. Welded steel pipe is manufactured by flat steel strip, with welding seam on the pipe body. Welded pipes include ERW pipe, LSAW pipe, and SSAW pipe.
2. Price : Welded steel pipes are typically much cheaper than seamless pipes and tubes.
3. Pressure Rating : Although there is no clear evidence regarding the difference in pressure rating, but generally seamless pipes are considered to be more suitable for high pressure applications.
4. Thin Wall thickness: It is generally suitable and economical to produce thin walled welded pipes as compared to seamless pipes. Large diameter seamless pipes, cannot be produced with thin wall thickness, but welded pipes can be produced with light wall thickness.
5. Thick Wall thickness: It is preferred to have high wall thickness pipes in seamless type, especially in case of smaller sizes. It is generally not feasible to produce welded pipes in smaller sizes with high wall thickness.
