Points Which Make Stainless Steel Seamless U Tube Better

Posted: Sep 19, 2014
With numerous options available to choose from between seamless tubes and welded tubes, many of the users will have different opinions to impart. Each one will have a set of advantages which make one better than the other. If the small and medium industries are taken into account, they will take the side of welded pipes and tubes because it is easier for them to get and also quite cost efficient. However, for all the major industries which have bigger implications if something wrong happens, they will cite the advantages that seamless tube gives them in terms of safety and convenience.
Techniques of manufacture
Seamless tubes are made by either hot-finish or are cold drawn. They can be made by piercing the heated billing and hollowing out the shape of the pipe by elongating it between rollers. Once the roll is made, it is continually rolled to keep the shape while it gets the requisite shape and thickness. The extrusion process either cold drills the billet to be then forced through a die and then over a mandel to achieve the shape of the needed kind. For the stainless steel seamless U tube,. it requires the further finishing touches of bending the heated tube in the right manner to getthe right thickness.
Benefits from Seamless tubing
Seamless tubing, on the other hand, is known to be able to withstand a multitude of problems. They lack a weak point as they do not have a seam which can induce vulnerability in the design. This makes them able to withstand a lot of pressure and even though it is expensive, it is preferred over the welded pipes. The uniform shape of the pipes is also an advantage because it allows for the uniformity of installation and fittings can be made without adjustments everywhere. With the weld quality out of the question, it is much easier to calculate the pressure loads of the equipment also.
