There are different types of pipes in the market. The 3 main are known as API pipes, large diameter pipes and seamless steel pipes.
API Pipe
API Pipe is the popular name of the American Petroleum institute Specification Pipe. Oil and Gas exporters use API pipe for its reliability. A pipe manufacturer makes customized API pipes according to the specifications of industries, for example API pipes are made for operations in the petroleum industry like production, refinement, and distribution. The API pipe is available in different sizes, length, and thickness.
Large Diameter Pipe
The large diameter is used in some very important industrial sectors. The large diameter is used for the durability, high compression, pressure resistance, and ease of operation in difficult industrial processes. Other than industrial usage large diameter pipes are also used by individual customers with specifications. For example the large diameter pipes for sanitary and drainage has anti-creep properties so that connection is superior and there is no seepage.
Seamless steel pipe
A steel supplier makes seamless steel pipes with a single steel strip without any welding. This makes them stronger and obviously more expensive. Seam less steel pipes are used in oil and gas, power generation, manufacturing and construction. They are best used with corresponding fittings and valves.
