Seamless steel pipe is manufactured from solid, round steel billets that are pierced through the center with a mandrel. The billet is rolled and stretched through a hollow billet until it reaches a customer’s specification. Because of its uniform shape and ability to withstand pressure and heat, a seamless steel pipe is an ideal material for many industries.
Benefits of Seamless Pipe
The seamless pipe provides a variety of benefits, depending on your application. They perform well in harsh conditions, meaning they can be used in extremely cold or hot conditions. Because of these benefits, seamless steel pipe is the preferred material in an array of commercial pipe applications.
Other benefits of seamless steel pipes include:
Ability to withstand high amounts of pressure
Uniformity of shape
Reliable strength under loading

Applications of Seamless Pressure Pipe
For applications that feature high temperatures, high pressure, or corrosive materials, seamless steel pipe is often a great solution. Seamless steel pipe can be used in a variety of applications, include:
Heat exchanger
Chemical and petrochemical industry
Power generation and environmental technologies
Ship making/ shipbuilding
Oil and gas applications
Pressure applications
Choosing Between Seamless Pipe and Seamless Tubing
Whether you need a seamless pipe or seamless tubing depends on your intended application. Seamless tubing is typically used for structural purposes. Because of this, the outside diameter and wall thickness are important and need to be within very close tolerances of each other.
Seamless steel pipe, however, is used to commonly transport gases or fluids in piping systems. Seamless pipe is measured using the nominal outside diameter and wall thickness, instead of the exact OD and WT. Nominal OD is a standardized measurement, and it will not change if the wall thickness changes.
We can provide a large, diverse inventory of A106 seamless steel pipes in a variety of sizes to meet your application needs. With our extensive inventory of even the hardest-to-find sizes and shapes, you’re sure to find the seamless pipe your application needs.
