Difference between Seamless and Welded Stainless Steel Pipes:

Image
  304 Seamless Stainless Steel Pipes are made from a round steel “billet” which when heated or pushed or pulled, forms a hollow tube like shape. To manufacture welded stainless steel pipes, coils are necessary. Difference between seamless and welded stainless steel pipes: Welded pipes are manufactured by rolling metal and then welding it across its length. Whereas, seamless pipes are manufactured with the help of solid round billets. During the production of seamless pipes, the dimensional and wall thickness specifications are kept in mind. A seamless pipe is a pipe without a seam or a weld joint. It is like an empty hole cross area, without any creases around the circle, or rectangular steel. These pipes have a better weight limit, also known as pressure capacity.   Applications of seamless pipes: high pressure areas, like hydrocarbon industry and refineries, oil and gas drilling, oil and gas transportation, air and hydraulic cylinders, bearings, boilers, and automobiles.

What are the different types of copper pipes?

Copper pipes are the most common pipes used in plumbing. They are often categorized by their thickness and type of finish. The three common types of copper pipes are: 1. Coated copper pipe: it is usually found in bathrooms and kitchens because it is less expensive than brass or stainless steel pipes and easy to maintain. 2. Black iron pipe: these pipes can also be found in both bathroom and kitchen installations but they rust easily so they require frequent painting or sealing to avoid corrosion, which can lead to leakage or bursting seams. 3. Stainless steel pipe: these pipes offer protection from corrosion and keep your home's water clean, but they are often more expensive than coated copper pipe and less durable when exposed to high temperatures such as those found in dishwashers or washing What are the features of copper pipes? Copper pipes are used in plumbing because they are strong, durable, and easy to bend. They are also corrosion resistant which means that the
