Rejected
pipe which cannot be classified as a prime product because of some physical
or chemical defect is sold by the mills to steel pipe distributors,
distributors of steel products, fabricators, and consumers. These pipe is
available in CW, ERW, DSAW and seamless, in all sizes, weights, and classes
of material. Although reject pipe carries no warranty whatsoever, it can
have application for structural purpose.
Few of the typical examples where reject pipe has been used as structural
steel tubing and pipes are handrails, columns, posts, piling, sand-wash,
casing, culverts, fence, caissons, sign poles, bumpers, bracing, parking
meter posts, towers, supports, rollers, etc. Structural steel pipes and
tubing are normally priced substantially under prime pipe and can affect
large savings in the right application.
