The main difference lies in the manufacturing process:
• Welded pipe is produced by rolling stainless steel sheet and welding it longitudinally.
• Seamless pipe is manufactured through extrusion, with no weld seam.
Each type is used in different applications depending on factors such as pressure, fluid type, and operating conditions.
Seamless pipe is commonly found in industries with demanding conditions, such as high pressures, elevated temperatures, or critical fluids. Typical sectors include the chemical, energy, pharmaceutical, and sanitary processing industries.
Welded pipe is widely used in industries where pressure and temperature conditions are within moderate ranges. It is commonly used in water lines, oil systems, ventilation, and general processing lines.
Our stainless steel pipes comply with internationally recognized standards:
• ASTM A312: for austenitic stainless steel welded and seamless pipe, used in industrial fluid systems.
• ASTM A213: for seamless or electric resistance welded pipe, used in boilers, heat exchangers, and condensers.
• ASME B36.19 and B36.10: for nominal pipe sizes and wall thickness.
• EN / DIN / ISO: available upon specific customer request.
These standards ensure traceability, quality, and compatibility with technical specifications for industrial projects.
We mainly offer stainless steel in the following grades:
• 304 / 304L
• 316 / 316L
Both are available in a wide range of diameters and thicknesses. Selection should be based on the project's technical requirements, such as fluid compatibility, corrosion resistance, and environmental conditions.
Yes. We offer a variety of finishes, including:
• Industrial pickled finish
• Interior and/or exterior polished finish
• Custom finishes based on client specifications
Yes. We offer special terms for high-volume purchases, including:
• Differentiated pricing
• Scheduled deliveries
• Continuous supply from our warehouses
We maintain a permanent inventory of standard sizes (from 1/8” to 24”) in 304/304L and 316/316L stainless steel. Our distribution centers in Mexico City and Guadalajara’s metropolitan area allow for fast nationwide deliveries. Larger diameters can also be provided upon request.
Our commercial team can provide detailed information about the technical characteristics of each product. However, pipe selection must be based exclusively on the project's technical requirements and the specifications established by the client's engineering department.
• Broad stock of welded and seamless pipe in various diameters and thicknesses
• Nationwide distribution from multiple warehouses
• In-house infrastructure: delivery fleet, overhead crane, and forklifts
• Professional service by a team experienced in the industrial sector
