Forged vs. Seamless Pipes

22 Mar.,2023

 

Do you need forged pipe fitting solution? Choose us as your partner and we will provide you with a solution that will satisfy you.

The size of a forged pipe is defined by:

  • Outside diameter (OD)
  • Inside Diameter (ID)

Forged pipes are also called “ID controlled” or “Minimum Wall Thickness Pipes” (as a min thickness is granted).

Instead, the size of a seamless pipe is defined by:

  • Outside Diameter
  • Wall Thickness (WT)

Seamless pipes are also called “OD controlled pipes” or “Average Wall Thickness Pipes”.

The theoretical size of each pipe is different from the actual one (due to limitations in production, and the international norms allow some dimensional tolerances).

For example, in a OD controlled size OD711 mm x WT 50 mm, the actual ID might show a 25 mm difference from ordered (= theoretical) one.
