The fluid tube is a hollow, tubeless steel structure designed for the transportation of materials that exhibit fluid-like behavior. It can carry both liquid media—such as water, oil, and chemical solutions—as well as solid materials with fluid properties, like cement, grains, and coal dust, under specific conditions. These tubes can be manufactured from a variety of materials, including carbon steel, non-ferrous metals like copper and titanium, and even non-metallic options such as plastics, depending on the application requirements.
While the most common cross-section for fluid tubes is circular, they can also be square, triangular, or any other shape based on design needs. Although some specialized equipment may require rectangular tubes, the majority of applications still rely on round tubes due to their structural efficiency and ease of manufacturing.
Historically, seamless steel tubes were the standard choice for fluid piping systems. However, with advancements in material science, molding techniques, and the development of high-performance equipment, welded tubes have become increasingly popular. They offer several advantages, such as more uniform wall thickness, higher dimensional accuracy, lower energy consumption, and greater production efficiency. In critical applications like oil and gas pipelines (especially those following API standards), welded pipes are now widely used. In the past, the U.S. relied almost entirely on seamless pipes, but today, many developed countries, such as Japan and those in Europe, have replaced over 95% of their systems with welded alternatives.
Whether for industrial, agricultural, or energy-related uses, fluid tubes continue to evolve, adapting to new technologies and demands while maintaining their core function of efficient material transport.
