The complex chemical and physical properties of the various grades of carbon steel pipe allow for a broad range of service usage. American Piping Products has the right grade, size and price to meet your requirements, including A/SA-106 Grade B/C and API 5L X- 42 thru X -70. A/SA-106 Grades B & C are utilized for services ranging from structural supports to steam drum headers with temperature ranges up to 800°F, while API 5L X Grades 42 thru 70 are utilized for the water and petroleum industry to transport liquids or as platforms on off-shore rigs.
The application and uses of carbon steel pipe
Carbon steel has good properties in hardness and strength, and it is less expensive than other steels. The properties of carbon steel are high hardness, strength, wear resistance and anti-corrosion. The percentage of carbon in the steel affects the hardness, strength of elasticity and ductility of carbon steel. Carbon steel seamless pipes are extensively applied in the nuclear device, gas conveyance, petrochemical, shipbuilding and boiler industries, with characteristics of high corrosion resistance combined with suitable mechanical properties.Related carbon steel pipes
Carbon steel is an alloy with carbon and iron, with carbon content up to 2.1% by weight. The increase in the carbon percentage will raise steel’s hardness and strength, but it will be less ductile.
