Worldwide Pipe Meets Industry Standards
Steel pipes are cylindrical tubes made from steel that are used many ways in manufacturing and infrastructure. They’re the most utilized product made by the the steel industry. The primary use of pipe is in the transport of liquid or gas underground—including oil, gas, and water. However, pipes of varying sizes are used throughout manufacturing and construction.
Heat treatment is used to avoid or alleviate the detrimental effects of high temperatures, which are unavoidable during the welding process. The heat treatment required and the recommended temperatures and holding times vary among metals. They are specified in ASME B31.3, Table 331.1.1, Requirements
