Carbon steel pipe. This is a common steel pipe material that includes steels with different carbon contents (low carbon steel, medium carbon steel, and high carbon steel). This type of steel pipe is usually used to transport fluids such as water and gas, and to make machine parts.
Welding connection is a common way to connect steel pipes. The connection is achieved by heating the steel pipe interface to melt the welding rod and fuse it with the steel pipe. This connection method has the advantages of firm connection, good sealing, good durability, low cost, and no need for frequent maintenance.
