What's the difference between cast iron pipe and steel pipe?
Steel pipe is not only used to transport fluid and powder solid, exchange heat energy, and manufacture mechanical parts and containers, but also is an economic steel. It can reduce weight and save 20 to 40% of metal by using steel pipe to make building structure, network frame, prop and mechanical support. Moreover, it can realize factory mechanization construction. Using steel pipe to manufacture road bridge can not only save steel, simplify construction, but also greatly reduce the area of coating protective layer, save investment and maintenance cost.
Steel tube (Steel pipe) production technology development began in the bicycle manufacturing industry, the rise of the early nineteenth Century during the oil development, the two world war ships, boilers, aircraft manufacturing, manufacturing of power boiler after the Second World War, the development of chemical industry of petroleum and natural gas drilling and transportation, will effectively promote the the yield and quality of varieties, the development of steel tube industry.
Cast iron pipes (Cast, Iron, Pipe), cast cast pipe. Cast iron pipes are used for water supply, drainage and gas transmission lines. They include cast iron pipes and pipe fittings. Labor intensity is small. According to the casting method, it is divided into continuous cast iron pipe and centrifugal cast iron pipe, in which the centrifugal cast iron pipe is divided into sand mould and metal type two kinds. Divided into gray cast iron pipe and nodular cast iron pipe according to different material. According to the interface form, it is divided into flexible interface, flange interface, self anchored interface, rigid interface and so on. Among them, the flexible iron pipes rubber sealing ring; flange interface cast iron pipe flange fixed in the rubber pad, the flange gasket sealing; rigid interface cast iron pipe socket is large, straight pipe is inserted, sealed with cement, this technology has been basically eliminated
