Fluid pipe is a steel pipe with a hollow section and no welds from beginning to end.
Fluid pipe is a kind of economical cross-section steel, mainly used to transport fluids, such as oil, natural gas, coal gas, water and certain solid materials. Compared with solid steel materials such as round steel, fluid pipes are lighter in weight when they have the same bending and torsional strength.
Therefore, it is also widely used in the manufacture of structural parts and mechanical parts, such as oil drill pipes, automobile transmission shafts, bicycle frames, and steel scaffolding used in construction.
