Steel Pipes: Choosing Between Seamless and Welded

​

Welded and seamless steel pipes are the two most common types of steel pipes on the market. Most of the world's steel is used in the form of beams, tubes and foundation piles for buildings, bridges and other infrastructure. Steel can withstand the stresses created by the weightof the structure, thus allowing for the construction of tall buildings.
In addition to the quality of the steel, architects and contractors must choose the type of steel pipe that is best suited for their project. For example, bridge foundations must be able to cope with a variety of environmental factors such as earthquakes, ship collisions and strong water currents.
