Notes |
| Outside Diameter (OD) | ±0.05–0.15 mm | Ensures proper fitting with flanges, valves, and connections |
| Wall Thickness | ±7.5–10% | Important for pressure ratings and structural integrity |
| Ovality | ≤50% of OD tolerance | Low ovality ensures smooth fluid flow |
| Straightness | ≤1/1000 | Critical for installation and alignment |
Womic Steel’s carbon steel seamless pipes are produced with tight OD tolerances, low ovality, and high straightness, ensuring reliable performance in boiler tubes, heat exchangers, and conveyor roller tubes.
