Pipe

Seamless Pipes: Produced without a seam, typically used for high-pressure applications.

Welded Pipes: Created by welding together sections of metal, suitable for various applications.

Galvanized Pipes: Coated with a layer of zinc to prevent corrosion.

Plastic Pipes: Including PVC, HDPE, and other polymers.

Pipes can be made from a variety of materials, including:

Steel: Commonly used for water and gas pipelines.

Stainless Steel: Known for corrosion resistance, often used in food and chemical industries.

Copper: Used for plumbing and heating applications.

PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride): Commonly used for water supply and drainage.

HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene): Used for water and gas distribution.

Aluminum: Lightweight and corrosion-resistant, used in various applications.

Water Supply: Pipes are widely used for transporting potable water to homes and businesses.

Gas Distribution: Pipes transport natural gas or propane for heating and cooking.

Oil Pipelines: Large pipes are used for transporting oil from production sites to refineries.

Chemical Industry: Resistant materials are used for transporting chemicals.

Plumbing: Pipes are essential for plumbing systems in buildings.

Construction: Pipes are used in construction for various purposes, including structural support and drainage.

Dimensions: Pipe dimensions are specified by their nominal size, which is the approximate inside diameter. They are also categorized by schedules, representing the wall thickness.

Fittings: Pipes are connected using fittings such as elbows, tees, and couplings, allowing for changes in direction and branching.

Pressure Ratings: Pipes are designed to withstand specific pressure levels based on their material and construction.

Coating and Linings: Depending on the application, pipes may have coatings or linings to enhance corrosion resistance or facilitate the flow of specific substances.
