While seamless pipes are limited by extrusion press capacities (typically topping out around 24 inches), welded pipes can be rolled and fabricated to virtually any diameter, making them essential for large chemical mains and exhaust ducting.

Forming pipe from readily available flat-rolled plate or coil is significantly faster and more economical than piercing solid billets. This provides major cost savings for large-scale infrastructure projects requiring miles of piping.

Our welded pipes undergo strict Non-Destructive Testing (NDT), including 100% X-Ray Radiography and Hydrostatic testing. The weld bead is often cold-worked and fully solution-annealed to perfectly blend its metallurgical structure with the parent metal.

Because they are formed from flat sheets with highly uniform thickness, welded pipes generally exhibit better concentricity and more consistent wall thickness (WT) than seamless pipes, which can suffer from slight eccentricity during extrusion.

Large diameter welded pipes made from alloys like Hastelloy C-276 y Inconel 625 are the backbone of Flue Gas Desulfurization (FGD) systems, handling highly acidic and abrasive slurry.

Long runs of welded Monel 400 piping are heavily utilized in seawater intake lines, brine heaters, and offshore platform fire water systems due to their exceptional resistance to chloride pitting.

High-precision, bead-reduced welded tubing provides a cost-effective solution for massive industrial heat exchangers and condensers requiring thousands of thin-wall tubes.
