Seamless carbon steel pipe has, as its name implies, no longitudinal weld seam. It is made of a solid billet by simply heating and then stretching over a series of mandrels until the pipe has achieved its desired diameter and wall thickness. Today, we are going to talk about carbon seamless steel pipe grade.
