Increased Pressure Ratings
One of the key advantages of seamless alloy pipes is their increased ability to withstand pressure. The weakest point in a welded pipe is the welded seam. Because a seamless steel tube does not have a welded seam, it is equally strong around the entire circumference of the pipe.
Although seamless pipe can be more expensive than the equivalent welded pipe, this increased ability to withstand pressure can allow thinner and lighter pipes to be used in certain applications.
Increased Corrosion Resistance
Similar to the benefit of increased pressure ratings, seamless pipe offers increased corrosion resistance when compared to welded pipe, due to the lack of a welded seam. Many of the seamless pipes we supply are in specific alloys used in highly corrosive environments.
Uniformity of shape
Seamless pipe is a continuous extrusion of alloy, meaning that it will have an incredibly accurate round cross section, when compared with welded seam pipe.
