Stainless Steel Tubes

Although  non-ferrous pipes have been used since about  2800 B.C.,  the  production of ferrous materials in tubular  form  was developed  much later. Iron-musket barrels were made in the  12th century  and cast-iron common barrels and water pipe in the  late 17th  century. The use of wrought iron in tubular products  began in  1825 by the conventional butt welding process and,  in  1887, Besmear  steel was successfully used for this purpose.  The  lap-welding of pipes, initially carried out by hand was mechanized in the  1840’s by means of a ball placed between the rolls of a  two high  mill. From then until the 1920’s lap welding was  the  main process used for pipes over 3 inches in diameter.
