ASME Structural Steel: The Backbone of the World's Infrastructure

ASME Structural steel is used in construction in the form of I-beams, T-beams, and H-beams. Such beams are typically used as load bearing structural members in the framework of buildings. Structural steel is also the type of steel that is used to construct oil drilling rigs as well as civil construction projects and is manufactured in compliance with strict international standards and specifications covering chemical composition and strength.

Supplying the Structural Steel Industry Relies Upon

You steel supplier should be able to supply structural steel products with special cross sections or angles. Generally these are hot-rolled products that are riveted, welded, or bolted into place during the construction of buildings, bridges, highways, airports, harbor berths, seawalls, offshore platforms, or other types of structures. It is best to choose a supplier with ISO 9001 certification for distribution and trading of these products.

APILine Pipe and Petroleum

Line pipe is most closely associated with the oil and gas industries. It may be used for drilling, distribution, or other petroleum applications. With API-certified line pipe, you get high-strength steel that has undergone quenching and tempering to yield outstanding microstructure properties for even the most demanding environments. It has been used successfully on the north slope of Alaska and is designed to perform well in other extreme conditions too.

API Line Pipe and Water Transport

Water transport is another sector where API-rated line pipe is commonly used. Made from high strength carbon steel, this line pipe is available in diameters from two inches to 48 inches. It may be welded or seamless and must be able to withstand high pressures. Before it can be shipped to users, line pipe has to be tested to ensure it complies with steel chemistry strength and dimension specifications for reliable and safe pipeline transport.

One Supplier, Fewer Hassles

The construction of an oil rig, bridge, or airport requires numerous types of structural steel and piping. When you have one supplier that can be relied upon to provide structural steel, line pipe, oil country tubular goods, and other steel products, you have an easier time keeping your project on schedule and within budget.
