Seamless stainless steel pipe

Seamless stainless steel pipe is produced as a hollow product without a longitudinal weld seam. Seamless describes the manufacturing route; it does not by itself define grade, corrosion resistance, or pressure capability. Compared with welded stainless pipe, it has no longitudinal weld zone, but that distinction does not make it universally superior for every service. Selection should consider stainless grade and medium compatibility, dimensions and wall, delivery condition, inspection, fabrication needs, and the governing project specification.

Application and duty

Process or fluid-transfer lines where the project specification calls for seamless manufacture; grade, dimensions, and inspection scope must be selected for the actual service.

Metallic and non-metallic pipe for process, transmission and utility services

Outside diameter, schedule or wall, manufacturing route, material and grade, length, end preparation and test documentation must follow the project piping class.
