Pipeline is a pressure-resistant cylindrical hollow straight pipe used for conveying liquid, gas and sometimes solid in the pipeline system. Considering the technical and commercial parameters, different types of pipes are used under different design conditions, and then let’s read the relevant history of steel and pipes. The steel age was born in Britain in 1853, where Sir Henry Bessemer obtained a patent for steel production technology. Before that, Steyr was sold only in sterling.

Most metal pipes are stronger and harder to break. Compared with non-metallic pipes, they have higher thermal conductivity and conductivity, but lower corrosion resistance. The type of steel pipe used in the petrochemical industry (depending on the material and manufacturing process).

Difference between carbon steel and black steel pipe

There are several differences between carbon steel pipe and black steel pipe. These differences also explain why these pipes are used for different applications.

Prospect difference
Black steel pipes are mainly used to transport natural gas to commercial buildings. This pipeline is seamless and very suitable for conveying gas. In addition, this kind of pipe is more fireproof than carbon steel pipe. Therefore, it is also used for fire sprinkler system. On the other hand, carbon steel pipes are mainly used to transport water to homes and businesses. This kind of pipe is easy to corrode, so it needs to be galvanized. Therefore, it is also used as a scaffold.

Erosion sensitivity
One of the main differences between carbon steel and black steel is that carbon steel pipes and carbon steel pipe fittings are susceptible to corrosion. On the other hand, black steel pipes are made of non-galvanized steel and are not easy to corrode.

Pipeline composition
The carbon steel of carbon steel pipe, as the name implies, has high carbon content. On the other hand, the name of black steel comes from the dark iron oxide used to cover its surface. In addition, the black steel pipe is made of several grades of malleable iron. Unlike this technology, carbon steel pipes are manufactured in a seamless manner. This means that carbon steel pipe fittings can be used for applications requiring very high pressure resistance.

Application of carbon steel pipe

Carbon steel pipes are used for surface and underground services of liquid, gas and steam. It is not recommended to use in corrosive environment, but it can be used in corrosive environment.
