Frequently Asked Questions

 

 

Is Steel Pipe stronger than Steel Tubing?

Steel pipe is generally stronger than steel tubing due to its thicker walls and higher tensile strength, making it better suited for high-pressure applications. Pipes are designed primarily for transporting fluids and gases, which requires enhanced strength and durability. In contrast, steel tubing is often used for structural applications where flexibility and weight are more critical than sheer strength, resulting in a lighter, less robust profile.

 

Is Stainless Steel good for Piping?

Yes, stainless steel is an excellent material for piping due to its corrosion resistance, strength, and durability. It is particularly well-suited for applications in industries such as food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and petrochemicals, where hygiene and resistance to rust and staining are critical. Additionally, stainless steel can withstand high temperatures and pressures, making it a versatile choice for both high-performance and everyday piping systems.

 

What is the Difference between Stainless Steel Pipe and Tube?

Stainless steel pipe is typically used for transporting fluids and is measured by its diameter. In contrast, stainless steel tube is measured by its outer dimensions and wall thickness, making it more suitable for structural applications. Pipes usually have thicker walls for higher pressure, while tubes offer more versatility in shapes and sizes.
