Teräsputki

Teräsputki is a Finnish term that translates to "steel pipe" in English. It refers to a hollow cylindrical section made from steel, a metal alloy primarily composed of iron and carbon. Steel pipes are manufactured through various processes, including seamless and welded methods, and are available in a wide range of sizes, wall thicknesses, and material grades to suit diverse applications.

The versatility of teräsputki makes them indispensable in numerous industries. They are commonly used in construction for structural support, plumbing systems for water and gas distribution, and in the automotive sector for exhaust systems and chassis components. The oil and gas industry relies heavily on steel pipes for transporting crude oil and natural gas, both onshore and offshore. Furthermore, teräsputki find application in manufacturing for various mechanical components and in the energy sector for heat exchangers and pipelines.

The properties of teräsputki, such as their high tensile strength, durability, corrosion resistance (especially with certain coatings or alloy compositions), and ability to withstand high pressures and temperatures, contribute to their widespread use. They are chosen based on specific project requirements, considering factors like the intended use, environmental conditions, and the type of fluid or gas being transported. Maintenance and inspection are crucial for ensuring the long-term integrity and safety of steel pipe systems.
