Structural Steel Pipes

Structural seamless pipe is a type of steel pipe manufactured without any weld seams, providing superior strength and durability. Structural seamless pipes are widely used in construction, automotive, and energy sectors due to their ability to withstand high loads and harsh environments.

What Is Structural Steel Pipes?

Structural pipe is a steel structural pipe that meets certain chemical composition and mechanical property standards. This pipe can be used in a variety of structural applications, and there are many types of structural pipes to choose from.


Common types of structural pipes include: Seamless steel pipe: Structural seamless pipe is a steel pipe manufactured without welds, which has excellent strength and durability. It is made from a solid cylindrical billet that is heated, perforated and rolled into a hollow tube. Seamless steel structural pipe is a durable pipe product that is often used for dock piling, pipe piles, caissons and bollards.
