Both ERW Carbon Steel pipes and Spiral Pipes are used to transport oil, gas, and chemicals. They have similar utilities and applications. However, when you look further into their workings, one can find differences in various aspects. If looked into closely, one can point out ...Read more -
The difference between carbon steel VS cast steel
1. Different in nature Cast steel: Cast steel is a kind of casting alloy. Iron and carbon are the main elements. The carbon content is between 0-2%. Carbon steel: Carbon steel is an iron-carbon alloy with a carbon content of 0.0218% to 2.11%. Generally, it also contains a smal...Read more -
Types of Hollow Structural Sections
Hollow structural sections typically come in three main forms: rectangular hollow sections (RHS), square hollow sections (SHS) and circular hollow sections (CHS). Each type of hollow section has its benefits, properties, and purposes. Circular Hollow Sections The circular holl...Read more -
Hot-finished vs. cold-formed tubes
Electric Resistance welded (ERW) carbon steel tubes have been successfully used in building and industrial pipework installations for many years. However, we are now seeing the increasing use of imported, commodity welded tubes that may prove to be less suitable for typical pi...Read more -
The Four Types of Carbon Steel
Carbon steel can be categorized depending on the chemical composition and characteristics of the product. Mild steel also falls under the low carbon steel category as it is comprised of similar carbon content. Plain carbon steel is free from alloys and can be placed in four ca...Read more -
