Carbon steel pipes are the most durable pipes available in the market today. These pipes have wide usage and are particularly found in all industrial sectors. These are basically metal alloys that are composed of carbon and iron. The manufacturing processes of these pipes are done in such a manner that do not leave and flaws to weaken the pipes. Such type is referred to as carbon steel seamless pipes. This particular variety of pipes is manufactured using an extrusion mold. Since the seamless pipes come with constant extrusion of the alloy, there is an added benefit of roundness in its structure.
The amount of steel present in the alloy is considered to be carbon only when the proportions of other elements present in it is limited to certain percentages. However, the maximum percentage to be typically present in the alloy is supposed to be 1.65 percent of manganese, 0.4 percent of copper and 0.6 percent for copper and silicon respectively. In the process to manufacturesteel pipes, manufacturers add some amount of carbon to iron to successfully strengthen the metal.
Carbon steel is the most cost-efficient material available in the market. They are categorized into four sections, such as, low-carbon, medium-carbon, high-carbon and ultra-high carbon. When it comes to its dimension, a pipe of any particular size will have the same dimension, regardless of its manufacturer.
