What are steel pipes and what are they used for?

Steel pipes are hollow cylindrical sections made from carbon steel, alloy steel, or stainless steel designed to carry convey liquids, gases, and solids, as well as to serve structural and decorative roles. They are used across construction, plumbing, oil and gas, power generation, water treatment, and mechanical systems. Depending on grade and finish, steel pipes provide excellent strength, durability, and resistance to pressure, temperature, and corrosion. Common applications include:

Water supply and distribution in residential, commercial, and industrial settings
Oil and gas transmission and processing lines
Structural supports and scaffolding in buildings and bridges
HVAC systems for chilled water and steam transfer
Industrial process piping and fire protection networks
Automotive and machinery frames, rollers, and fencing

Whether you need seamless steel pipe for high-pressure service or galvanized steel pipe for outdoor exposure, RS Components offers a broad range to meet project requirements.

What is the difference between seamless steel pipe and welded steel pipe?

Seamless steel pipe is formed without a weld seam by extruding a solid billet into a hollow tube. Advantages include uniform wall thickness, higher strength-to-weight ratio, and typically better performance under high-pressure or high-temperature service. Welded steel pipe is manufactured by rolling a flat strip and welding the seam. It is generally more cost-effective and well-suited for lower to moderate pressure applications. Key considerations:

: ideal for oil rigs, chemical plants, and high-pressure systems; often used in ASTM A106/A333 grades and API 5L line pipes.
Welded: versatile for plumbing, ductwork, and general construction; available in coated or uncoated forms with various end finishes.

The choice depends on service conditions, required pressure ratings, cost, and availability. RS Components stocks both types with standard dimensions and finishes.

What coatings or finishes are available for steel pipes?

Coatings extend lifespan and suit different environments. Common finishes include:

(zinc coating) for outdoor and corrosive environments, reducing rust and simplifying maintenance.
(bare carbon steel) for internal piping or further coating processing.
coatings for chemical resistance and cleanability, often used in water and chemical lines.
options for color-coding, UV protection, and easier identification.
finishes for maximum corrosion resistance in aggressive media.

When selecting a coating, consider service medium, operating temperature, exposure to moisture or soil, and required service life. Certifications and coating thickness specifications may also apply depending on the standard used.

Which standards or specifications cover steel pipes?

Steel pipes are governed by a range of international and regional standards to ensure compatibility, safety, and performance. Common references include:

for line pipe used in oil and gas transmission
ASTM A106 for seamless carbon steel pipe used in high-temperature and high-pressure systems
ASTM A53 for welded and seamless steel pipe suitable for mechanical and pressure applications
AWWA standards for water transmission tubes in some markets
EN 10216-1/2 and other EN specifications for seamless steel tubes in Europe
EN 10255 for non-alloy steel tubes suitable for mechanical and structural uses
ASTM A335 for alloy steel pipe used in high-temperature service

Always check local regulations and project requirements to confirm the exact standard, grade, wall thickness (schedule), and coating specified for your application. RS Components lists pipes by standard, grade, size, and coating to help you match your design needs.

How do I choose steel pipe size and wall thickness (schedule) for a project?

Selecting the correct size and wall thickness is critical for safety and performance. Key concepts:

and outside diameter (OD) define the pipe’s basic dimensions; wall thickness is described by the schedule (Sch 40, Sch 80, etc.) or exact wall thickness in millimeters.
Higher schedule numbers indicate thicker walls and higher pressure ratings.
Consider fluid type, temperature, pressure, viscosity, and potential corrosion to determine required wall thickness.
Account for thermal expansion, dynamic loads, and insulation requirements in mechanical systems.
Include allowances for joints, fittings, and end connections (plain, threaded, grooved, or flanged).

Practical steps:

Define service conditions (pressure, temperature, medium).
Choose material grade appropriate for the environment.
Select suitable standard and wall thickness (schedule) based on calculated pressure rating.
Specify ends and fitments needed for installation.
Verify availability and lead times with RS Components and factor in tolerances.

If in doubt, consult RS Components’ technical team or use their pipe sizing calculator, and always verify that the selected pipe meets your project’s code requirements.

What are common steel pipe product variants to look for at RS Components?

You’ll find a broad spectrum of steel pipe products to fit diverse applications:

for high-pressure and high-temperature service
suitable for general construction and plumbing
for outdoor and moisture-prone environments
for internal systems or further coating
for heightened strength and specialized service
with superior corrosion resistance for aggressive media
for oil and gas transmission
and rectangular/square profiles for frames and supports
including flanges, elbows, tees, reducers, and end caps to complete installations

Select from standard sizes (NPS) and metric equivalents, common lengths (such as 3 m and 6 m), and varying schedules (Sch 10, Sch 40, Sch 80) to match your project needs. RS Components pairs these pipes with compatible fittings and accessories to streamline procurement.

How should steel pipes be installed and maintained for longevity?

Proper installation and maintenance maximize lifespan and performance. Consider these guidelines:

Ensure correct support spacing and alignment to prevent sagging or stress concentrations.
Use compatible fittings and perform proper joint sealing (threaded, grooved, or flanged connections).
Protect exposed surfaces with galvanization or coating suitable for the environment to minimize corrosion.
In corrosive or marine environments, select stainless or coated steel pipes and apply protective measures.
Inspect for signs of corrosion, pitting, leaks, and mechanical damage during routine maintenance.
Follow code requirements for pressure testing, hydrostatic tests, and inspection intervals.
Store pipes horizontally on supports in a dry, clean area to prevent moisture exposure and warping.

Adhering to these practices reduces downtime, extends service life, and keeps systems safe. RS Components provides guidance, test reports, and material certifications to support installation and compliance.

What questions should I ask when buying steel pipes online?

To ensure you get the right product, consider asking:

What material grade and standard does the pipe meet?
Is the pipe seamless, welded, galvanised, or stainless steel?
What are the outside diameter (OD), wall thickness (Sch), and length options?
What are the end connections (plain, threaded, grooved, flanged) and tolerance?
What coatings or surface treatments are included, and what warranties apply?
What are the certification documents (MTC, coating certification, chemical composition)?
What is the lead time, availability, and delivery options through RS Components?
Are there compatibility considerations with fittings, flanges, and valves?

Asking these questions helps ensure the pipe selected matches performance, installation, and budget requirements, and RS Components provides clear product data sheets and support to assist.
