The ASTM seamless pipe is a long pipe with hollow tubular cross section and without seams around its circumference. It is commonly used to transfer fluids such as the natural gas, coal gas, water and some solid materials.
The seamless pipe has the same torsional strength as the solid round bar while the former gives lighter weight and cost advantage. It is widely employed to make structural member and mechanical parts, such as the drill rod, drive shaft, bicycle frame, and steel scaffolding used in construction.
Utilizing seamless pipes to make circular parts minimizes the use of raw material, simplifies the manufacturing process and saves manufacturing time. Typical examples of circular parts are the outer and inner rings of rolling bearing as well as the jack bushing. In addition, the pipe is an indispensable item in making conventional weapons including guns and artilleries.
Steel pipes can be divided into two types: round or irregularly shaped, depending on the shape of their cross-section. Suppose you have two pipes of the same perimeter. One is round and the other has a cross section of any shapes other than a round one. It has been proved that the round pipe has the biggest cross-section area among all the pipes in various non-circular shapes. Hence, the round pipe can transfer the largest amount of fluids. In addition, a round pipe tends to distribute the internal and external radial stress more evenly. In sum, it is reasonable to make pipes into a round shape.
