Industrial steel pipe is used to convey fluids under pressure. The industrial steel pipe market includes carbon steel, alloy steel, and stainless steel. The industrial steel pipe market for "stainless" is used for corrosive or high-purity fluids. The industrial steel pipe market for "schedule" (wall thickness) determines the pressure rating. The industrial steel pipe market for "Schedule 40" (standard) and "Schedule 80" (heavy) are common. The industrial steel pipe market for "Schedule 10" (light) is used for low-pressure applications.

The broader stainless steel welded pipe market includes this segment. The industrial steel pipe market for "pressure" rating is governed by the ASME B31.3 code (process piping). The industrial steel pipe market for "temperature" rating also affects allowable stress. The industrial steel pipe market for "corrosion allowance" (extra wall thickness) is added for corrosive services.

The industrial steel pipe market for "connections" include welding (butt-weld, socket-weld), flanged, and threaded. The industrial steel pipe market for "butt-weld" fittings (elbows, tees, reducers) are used with welded pipe. The industrial steel pipe market for "flanges" (slip-on, weld neck, blind) allow bolted connections.

The industrial steel pipe market for "piping" systems also include valves, gaskets, and supports. The industrial steel pipe market for "gaskets" (spiral wound, ring joint) seal flange connections.

The industrial steel pipe market for "non-destructive testing" (NDT) of welds (radiography, ultrasonic) is required for high-pressure or hazardous services. The industrial steel pipe market for "hydrostatic" testing of the completed system verifies integrity.

Looking ahead, the industrial steel pipe market will see the use of "fiber-reinforced" polymer (FRP) for some corrosive applications, but stainless remains dominant. The industrial steel pipe market for "leak detection" systems will be integrated.
