Stainless Steel pipe is commonly used to transport fluids and gases. It is produced in different pipe sizes and has many uses such as in wastewater systems, food & beverage facilities, chemical processing, oil and gas processing, and more.
Stainless steel pipe is non-hygienic as it is hot rolled, which means it is heated up and then rolled through a mill into shape. This leaves it with a rougher surface, which is often dull and referred to as a mill finish. Unlike tube, pipe is always round.
You can tell the difference between pipe and tube due to the wall thickness and surface finish. Pipe is thicker and has a rougher finish than tube.
Pipe sizes are measured by Nominal Bore (NB) and Schedule. The term NB (Nominal Bore) is often used interchangeably with NPS (Nominal Pipe Size). ‘Nominal’ is a non-dimensional number that identifies the internal diameter. The wall thickness of pipe is determined by the schedule.
