Steel is the most common material in the world today and it is a major component in infrastructure and buildings as Stainless Steel Pipe and Steel Tubes, tools made from Steel, in ships, machines, automobiles, and appliances.

A pipe in general terms is a hollow cylinder or tube and is used to carry or convey materials but is also used as a component in structures. The terms tube and are interchangeable and a pipe is generally referred by its internal diameter, while a tube is generally defined by its external diameter. Steel Pipes and Steel Tubes have many uses and are used for Domestic Water Systems for carrying water to Homes and offices, as part of indoor plumbing. Huge and extensive steel pipelines are also used for transporting gas and water to cities and facilities far away from the source. Some pipelines are also used to transport other liquids and chemicals to and from facilities, internally and externally. Pipelines are also used to transport sewage, slurry, and even beer, but the most important uses for Steel pipes are to transport water for domestic use, oil and natural gas.

Besides transporting materials, pipes are also used as scaffolding to support people and materials in construction and repair of office buildings, homes, and other structures. Steel Pipes and Steel Tubes are also used as components in mechanical systems as Rollers in conveyer belts, Compactors, as casing in constructions for concrete pilings, Pressure manufacturing processes, High temperature manufacturing processes, Casings for Oil wells, Oil refining equipment, etc. Pipes and tubes are available in different diameters, sizes, tensile strength, lengths, etc. Depending on the use, pipes and tubes can also be custom manufactured, as they are for the oil and gas industry. For domestic and industrial use, pipes and tubes are sold through distributors and traders.

Pipes and tubes for general use in industry and homes can be bought directly from pipe distributors and traders who stock different sizes and diameters of pipes.Stainless steel pipe have been manufactured for over 150 years and pipe sizes used today in galvanized and PVC pipes were designed for steel pipes years ago.
