Structural steel pipe is simply structural steel in a tubular form. The outside diameter of this steel pipe can be from 1/2″ all the way to 48″ so that it can be used for a number of different structural uses and applications.The wall of the pipe can be of virtually any thickness. Structural usage means to use in structural methods as in construction of structures such as foundations, bulkheads, or anything that might need to be shored up or needing to have a dense under girding and to add more strength.Common uses for structural pipe include for columns, bollards, sign poles, structural supports, and piling.

Types of Structural Pipe

In general, structural pipe is a type of steel construction pipe that meets certain standards of chemical composition and mechanical properties. This pipe can be used for a wide variety of structural applications and there are variety of types of structural pipe available. Common types of structural pipe include:

Seamless Steel Pipe: Seamless steel structural pipe is a durable pipe product that is commonly used for dock piling, pipe piling, caissons, and bollards.
ERW Steel Pipe: This structural pipe is typically known to the construction industry as high quality line pipe and it is commonly used by the oil and utility companies. This steel pipe can be used for sign pole, column, dock, and tunnel construction.
Spiral Steel Pipe: This is an economical and durable type of structural pipe that offers long lasting durability for things like road casing, piling and trenches.
