Steel Water Pipes

It is well known that steel is one of the leading materials in the modern industry and for many years it has been the favored material for water pipes. Water pipes are tubes that carry pressurized fresh water to buildings. Such a large application of steel water pipes and tubes is stipulated by their optimal excellent properties: high values of strength and fracture stability in combination with the reasonably good ductility and flexibility, tensile strength, elongation and reduction in area.

Steel water pipes installed underground are subject to corrosive forces unlike those subject to above ground items. Forces due to soil, water and gases are kept in mind, while designing steel water pipes. For underground application, welded and seamless types of steel pipes are used for the construction of water pipelines.

Stainless steel water pipes sustain longtime exploitation such as friction and corrosion as well as aging. Even after years of use, these pipes don t practically change characteristics such as hardness and brittleness.
