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.
