What are the Different Types of Steel Pipes Commonly Used in Philippine Construction?
Steel pipes play a vital role in the Philippine construction industry. They are known for their strength, durability, and versatility—making them ideal for structural, mechanical, and utility applications. Below are the most common types of steel pipes used locally:
Galvanized Iron (G.I.) Pipes
Coated with zinc to resist rust and corrosion.
Commonly used for water supply, fencing, and structural support.
Affordable and widely available across the Philippines.
Black Iron (B.I.) Pipes
Uncoated steel pipes, strong but prone to rust if exposed.
Typically used for gas lines, sprinkler systems, and structural works.
Preferred in projects requiring high-pressure tolerance.
Seamless Steel Pipes
Manufactured without seams, giving them excellent strength.
Best for oil and gas pipelines, boilers, and high-pressure systems.
Known for reliability in critical applications.
Welded Steel Pipes
Produced by welding steel plates or strips together.
Cost-effective option for construction frameworks, scaffolding, and fencing.
Available in different types such as ERW (Electric Resistance Welded).
Spiral Welded Steel Pipes
Formed by rolling steel plates into a spiral shape and welding along the seam.
Commonly used in large-scale infrastructure projects like culverts, piling works, and water transmission lines.
