Short answer: Buy metal pipe by choosing seamless for pressure or welded for general service, then reading NPS and schedule, specifying grade and end finish, with fittings in our Pipe Fitting Supplier and tube stock in our Tube Supplier.
At a Glance
Seamless Versus Welded
Seamless pipe handles higher pressure and temperature; ERW welded is economical for water and structure, with corrosion notes in our Corrosion Resistance Guide and grades in our Carbon Steel Supplier.
Read NPS and Schedule
NPS gives the nominal size; schedule gives wall thickness (SCH 10 to 160); match to pressure with our Steel Plate Buyers Guide for heavy wall.
Grade and End Finish
Specify ASTM grade and plain, threaded or bevelled ends; finish options are in our Surface Finishing Guide.
Testing and Certification
Request hydrostatic or UT test and MTC per our Mill Test Certificate Guide und Third-Party Inspection Guide.
