Steel pipe info please...?

Answer:

Here are a few quick things for you to check into on your own. First, there are a wide variety of materials that pipes can be made from such as carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, etc. Second, pipes can be of welded construction or seamless. Sometimes seamless pipes are called DOM (drawn over mandrel). Third, with the types of each pipe are a variety of grades. For example, steel pipe can be listed as A53, A106, A500, A513, etc. Each one of these grades has a different application because of their chemical composition and method of manufacture which effects its strength. Fourth, there is a difference between a 4 pipe and a 4 tube. Last, pipes for fluids are typically threaded with NPT threads. These threads are tapered so that as the pipes are screwed together they become tighter and therefore leak proof. I probably over complicated things but I hope this helped you. Good luck.
