Schedule 40 Carbon steel pipe introduction

Schedule 40 Carbon steel pipe is a pipeline product according to American standards, widely used in water, gas, oil and natural gas and other low pressure transmission systems. This kind of pipe is widely used in civil and industrial engineering because of its standardized size, stable wall thickness and high cost performance. Schedule 40 carbon steel pipe is mainly made of low carbon steel, with good weldability and processability, is an economic and practical pipe choice.

Schedule 40 Carbon steel pipes can be divided into welded pipes and seamless pipes. Most of the Schedule 40 carbon steel pipes are manufactured through the welding process, and the steel plate is welded after rolling, which has high production efficiency and consistency. Although seamless pipes are more commonly used for the special requirements of the high pressure latter, in some applications, seamless pipe products that meet the requirements of Schedule 40 wall thickness will also appear, and the advantage is that there is no weld and the integrity is better.

Schedule 40 Advantages of carbon steel pipe

1. Economical: The use of low carbon steel material, low cost, suitable for large-scale applications.
2. Good processability: It has good welding and forming properties, which is convenient for subsequent processing, installation and maintenance.
3. Standardized production: standardized size and wall thickness to ensure product interchangeability and consistency, easy to design and construction.
4. High stability: After hot rolling or cold drawing and other processes, the pipe has high mechanical strength and pressure resistance, to meet the requirements of low pressure conveying system.

Main application field

1. Water pipe system: used for urban water supply, drainage pipe network and other civil projects.
2. Gas transmission: as a part of gas transmission pipeline, it is widely used in gas pipeline engineering.
3. Oil and gas transmission: used as a low-pressure pipeline material in oil and gas transmission systems.
4. Industrial system: used in liquid conveying, cooling and process pipelines of various factories and industrial equipment.

Summary

Schedule 40 Carbon steel pipe because of its standardization, economic and practical and excellent processing performance, has become a common pipeline product in low pressure transportation system. Its standardized size and weight make engineering design easier, but also easy to match with other pipe fittings (such as flanges, joints). Whether in civil buildings, urban pipe networks or industrial equipment, Schedule 40 carbon steel pipes can provide reliable transportation solutions to meet the requirements of long-term safe and stable operation.

Central Steel can supply LSAW, SSAWS, ERW, SMLS and hollow profiles in standard sizes or according to customer requirements.
