II、seamless steel pipe 
Is a hollow cross-section, not the joints surrounding the steel bar. Steel tube with a hollow cross-section, a large number of pipes used for conveying fluids, such as transmission oil, natural gas, gas, water and some solid materials, such as pipelines. Steel tube with solid steel round bar, etc. as compared to the flexural torsional strength in the same light, is an economic cross-section steel, widely used in the manufacture of structural parts and mechanical parts, such as the oil pipe, automotive transmission shaft, bicycles aircraft, as well as building construction, such as using steel scaffolding. With steel pipe manufacturing annular parts, can improve material utilization, simplify the manufacturing process, saving material and machining time, such as roller bearing rings, Jack sets and so on, has been widely used to manufacture steel pipes. Steel pipe or a variety of conventional weapons an indispensable material, barrel, barrel must be steel pipe, etc. to create. Steel tube by cross-sectional area can be divided into different shapes tube. Because of the circumference of the same conditions, the largest circle, using a circular tube can be more fluid delivery. In addition, the ring cross-section in the bearing radial internal or external pressure, the force more evenly, so the vast majority of tubular steel pipes are. However, the tube also has some limitations, such as in-plane bending conditions, the pipe on the better side, rectangular tube bending strength, and a number of sets of frames, Steel-wood furniture on the commonly used square, rectangular tube. According to different purposes need to have other shaped cross-section shape steel pipe.

III、Welded Steel Pipes & Tubing 
Welded steel pipes and tubing are used in a number of applications where high demands are set on reliability, strength and corrosion resistance. These high performance pipes and tubes are alloyed with higher contents of molybdenum and nitrogen in order to improve the corrosion resistance and the strength, and are welded with over alloyed filler metals and/or with nitrogen added to the shielding gas, in order to become as high pitting corrosion resistance as possible in the weld. 
Pipes made of nitrogen alloyed chloride resistant grades in the presented applications are welded with the addition of nitrogen in the shielding gas. Most of the pipes are also welded with filler metal and heat treated when specified. Welded steel pipes and tubing come in improved design properties and are much higher corrosion resistance than other conventional steel pipes. 
Depending on how and where the pipes will be used it is up to the end user to decide which type of heat treatment is necessary. Chloride environments give however a risk for pitting, crevice and stress corrosion for standard steels. The pipes are used in all types of corrosive environments in industries such as, chemical, metallurgical, energy, oil & gas, pulp & paper, ships, desalination, and food.
