Pipe

Stainless Steel pipe is commonly used to transport fluids and gases.

It is produced in different 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.

We stock stainless steel pipe in both Schedule 10 and Schedule 40. The schedule determines the wall thickness of the pipe. Schedule 10 has a thinner wall thickness than Schedule 40, and is typically used in low-pressure applications while Schedule 40 is used in high-pressure applications. 

Pipe is 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.

We stock pipe in Schedule 10 from ½” to 16”, and in Schedule 40 from ½” to 12”. We also stock a full range of pipe fittings, both butt weld and socket weld, to suit any pipe run.
