Close-up of Schedule 5 steel pipes stacked in a storage area, showcasing their durable and corrosion-resistant properties.

SCH 10 Steel Pipe

Schedule 10 steel pipes are categorized as part of a standardized system that organizes stainless steel products based on their properties. Designed with thinner walls, these pipes have lower pressure capacities, making them ideal for low-pressure applications. They are commonly used in fluid transport systems, structural supports, and general industrial applications.
