Stainless Steel Seamless & Welded Pipe: How To Choose
Each type comes with its unique advantages and disadvantages, making it essential to choose based on your specific requirements. In this guide, we'll walk you through the key differences and benefits of both, helping you make an informed decision.

Advantages:

Corrosion resistance: Without welded joints, there are fewer areas susceptible to corrosion.

Disadvantages:

Size limitations: It is more difficult to produce seamless pipes in large diameters compared to welded pipes.


What is Welded Stainless Steel Pipe?

Welded stainless steel pipes are produced by rolling steel sheets or plates into a cylindrical shape and then welding the seams together. They are more affordable and widely used in various industries.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Welded Stainless Steel Pipes

Cost-effective: Welded pipes are generally cheaper than seamless pipes due to a simpler manufacturing process.

Shorter lead times: Since the production process is quicker, welded pipes are often available faster than seamless pipes.

Weaker weld seam: While modern welding techniques ensure high quality, the welded joint may still be weaker than the pipe body, which could pose issues in high-pressure or highly corrosive environments.

Less uniformity: Welded pipes may have slight variations in wall thickness, which can affect certain precision applications.
