Carbon steel pipe are further divided into four categories
Low carbon steel pipe – Carbon content 0.55-1.05%
Medium carbon steel pipe- Carbon content 0.25-10.6%
High carbon steel pipe- Carbon content 0.9-2.5%
Super High carbon steel pipe- Carbon content 2.5-3.0%
As
the Carbon content increases, high carbon steel pipe can become harder
and stronger by quenching and tempering with lower ductility.High carbon
steel pipe if not heat treated, may result into low weld ability &
low melting point.Large diameter pipe used for water transportation and
general transit are made of carbon steel.
epending on the manufacturing method these pipe are divided in 3 different types.
Seamless pipe
– pipe formed by passing hot steel through a die to get the shape of a
pipe. Carbon steel seamless pipe are manufactured up to a range of
24-(600NB). Though this is the most expensive method due to the
machinery and time involved in manufacturing, this is the most reliable
method ever invented.
Welded pipe–
pipe formed by wrapping a steel sheet in a circular motion, which is
then welded at the seam, are known as welded pipe. These pipe are highly
in demand due to cheap pricing. Depending on type of requirement these
pipe are welded in the following forms
a. ERW: Electro resistance welded pipe
b. EFW: Electro Fusion Welded pipe
c. SAW: Submerged Arc Welded pipe
Casting Mould pipe – The ancient and the oldest method of casting hot liquids.These pipe have a very less demand
Heat Treatment
Carbon Steel pipe can be heat treated in various ways as listed below.
Normalising
Annealing
Quenching and Tempering
Austempering
Spherodizing
