the biggest advantage of seamless steel tubes is the increased ability to withstand pressure. the weakest part of the welded steel pipe is the weld. although seamless tubes are sometimes more expensive than welded tubes, this increased pressure resistance allows you to use thinner, lighter tubes, which helps reduce costs. seamless pipe is a continuous extrusion of the alloy, which means it will have a circular cross section that you can rely on, which is useful when you are installing pipes or adding accessories.
these advantages make seamless steel pipes the material of choice for commercial pipeline applications, including shipbuilding, pipelines, oil rigs, oilfield equipment, pressure vessels, mechanical components and offshore drilling platforms. another benefit of seamless pipes is that they perform well under harsh conditions, which means they can be used in extremely cold or hot environments.
