As the name suggests, low-carbon steel pipes are steel pipes with mild content. Generally speaking, low-carbon steel pipes are different from seamless carbon steel pipes.

Welded tubing is generally less expensive than seamless tubing due to the simpler manufacturing process in creating welded tubing. It is also readily available, like seamless tubing, in long continuous lengths. Standard sizes can be produced with similar lead times for both welded and seamless tubing.

A106 steel pipe is a low carbon steel pipe whose main components are carbon, silicon, manganese and small amounts of chromium, copper, nickel and molybdenum. It is a seamless steel pipe suitable for transporting liquids and gases in high temperature and high pressure environments.
