Difference between Black & Carbon Pipe

    

Definition & Types

The black steel pipe is that kind of steel pipe which is not galvanized. It is called black, as it has dark colored iron oxide coating on its surface. This steel pipe is used in those applications which don’t require galvanized pipes such as; fence and oil treatment.

Another kind of black steel pipe is, black iron gas pipe thread, this one is also made of steel alike its former type, but made with more flexible products.

 Most dark steel channels have an arrangement like ASTM A-53 pipe. The contrast between A-53 and basic steel pipe like A-106 are close to the point that some pipe is really set apart to meet the two particulars. Dark pipe and A 53 can be consistent or welded crease while A106 is consistent.

The carbon steel pipe on another hand is a kind of pipe in which characteristics are determined by the amount of carbon it contains. Mostly, steel produced in this planet often falls under the category of carbon pipe. Following are the few types of carbon steel pipe along with the total percentage of carbon in them;

·         Ultra-high carbon steel with 1 – 2 % of carbon

·         High carbon steel with 0.66 – 0.9 % of carbon

·         Medium Carbon steel with 0.30 – 0.59 % of carbon

·         Low carbon steel with 0.16 – 0.29 % of carbon

Belonging Of Black & Carbon Pipes

  Most dark steel channels have an arrangement like ASTM A-53 pipe. The contrast between A-53 and basic steel pipe like A-106 are close to the point that some pipe is really set apart to meet the two particulars.

Dark pipe and A 53 can be consistent or welded crease while A106 is consistent.

Their Specifications & Uses

Being a steel pipe is not any specification itself, rather it’s a generic term mostly used by plumbers to distinguish regular steel pipe from non-steel ones such as galvanized pipes. Anyhow, carbon steel pipes have a wide range of uses.

For example, they are used for the low-pressure conveyance of gas, water, oil, air steam or other fluids. They are used in buildings, sprinkler systems, irrigation systems, machinery, and water wells.

Besides, carbon steel pipes are widely used for its three basic features;

·         Environmental friendly

·         Cost-effective

·         Safe and durable.

Conclusion

Overall, both "black" steel pipe and carbon steel pipe share the same procedure for welding. That is whether you are discussing general welding and not for some particular application like exceptionally frosty temperatures.
