Pipes are utilized in structures, transportation, and manufacturing. Different materials, design characteristics, and production methods for steel pipes have been developing and varying accordingly to the application. Structural use is commonly building and construction in which the building material is commonly referred to as steel tubes. Steel tubes are used

Corrosion Resistance The main difference between black iron pipes and galvanized pipes has something to do with their corrosion resistance. Black iron is manufactured using a mild steel compound. It has a low-grade carbon content. The corrosion resistance of mild steel can be further strengthened through the addition of carbon. On

GI Pipes and Tubes GI stands for “galvanized iron”. Thus, GI pipes are galvanized iron pipes, or called coated iron pipes in old terminology. GI carbon steel pipes are immersed in a galvanic (zinc) bath. GI (Galvanized Iron) Pipes are classified into 3 grades based on their weight per meter and inner diameter thickness. The more thickness, the better the

ERW stands for “electric resistance welded”. ERW pipes and tubes are manufactured by rolling metal and then welding it longitudinally across its length. ERW pipes have a welded joint in their cross-section. It is manufactured from Strip/Coil and can be manufactured up to 24” OD. High-frequency Induction Welding Technology is

Electric Resistance Welding (ERW) pipe is manufactured by rolling metal and then welding it longitudinally across its length. Seamless pipe is manufactured by extruding the metal to the desired length; therefore ERW pipe have a welded joint in its cross-section, while seamless pipe does not have any joint in its

Before we get into the specific plumbing, it is essential to understand what HVAC stands for. The term HVAC stands for Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning. These systems regulate the temperature and quality of indoor air. There are several types of piping used in HVAC systems: Considerations when choosing piping

When it comes to metallic piping, there are several types of materials that are commonly used to meet different requirements based on factors like the fluid being transported, temperature and pressure, environmental conditions, and industry standards. Here are some of the most common types of metallic piping: Carbon Steel Piping:

HVAC piping or heating ventilation and air-conditioning piping deliver hot water, cool water, refrigerant, condensate, steam, and gas to and from the HVAC components. HVAC systems provide thermal comfort for the occupants accompanied by indoor air quality. They are used in industrial, commercial, residential, and institutional buildings for different purposes like So, for

Structural tubing per ASTM A500 is tubing produced and used for structural applications. Standard strength requirements of the tube help dictate applications for which certain tubing is most appropriate. Structural tube is often referred to as hollow structural sections or HSS. Structural Tubing, especially rectangular sections, is commonly used in welded

A pipe schedule (SCH) is not an actual measurement – it is a number based on a wall thickness formula. You can have several pipes with the same outside diameter, but with different schedule numbers – meaning that each schedule represents a different wall thickness. The best way to find
