What is a fluid pipe? What are its characteristics?
2013-08-30
Fluid pipes are a type of steel pipe with a hollow cross-section, seamless from end to end. They are specifically designed for transporting media with fluid properties. Media with fluid properties can include liquids such as water, oil, and solutions, as well as solid materials like cement, grain, and coal powder, which can also flow under certain conditions. They can be made from steel, copper, titanium, and other non-ferrous metals, or even from non-metallic materials like plastic.
Fluid pipes must have a hollow cross-section but can also be square, triangular, or any other shape. Some equipment is limited by conditions and must use rectangular pipes; however, the vast majority still use round pipes.
In the past, fluid pipes were traditionally made from seamless steel pipes. With advancements in materials science, forming processes, and equipment development, welded pipes have seen significant progress. Welded pipes offer advantages such as better wall thickness uniformity than seamless pipes, higher precision, lower energy consumption, and higher production efficiency. For high-demand oil and gas transmission pipelines (API standards), which used to rely almost entirely on seamless pipes in the past, today over 95% have been replaced by welded pipes in developed countries like the United States, Japan, and Europe.
