Industrial
pipe is a broad category of fluid and solid transport hardware used in
many applications and industries. Usually cylindrical, pipe and rigid
tube is used in process, energy, construction, and many civil
infrastructure applications. Industrial pipes and rigid tubes are
manufactured from a wide variety of materials for the transport of an
equally wide variety of solids and fluids. Industrial pipe construction
and material specifications are application-dependent; user consultation
with pipe suppliers is typical for optimization of pipe selection.
Industrial pipes are manufactured in a wide variety of materials.
Common ratings and features assigned to industrial pipes include maximum
pressure, temperature range, flexible, lined, plated, flanged,
insulated, and underground rated. The distinctive features of industrial
pipes made of steel are hign tensile property, flexible, e.g, can be
designed and fabricated to any height and strength, are easy to install,
possess structural reliability, easy to maintain and are corrosion
resistent.
