When manufacturing seamless pipes, a round bar is put in one end (A) and then it goes through all other processes in order to make it into a pipe. First, it passes through a machine called an electric furnace which softens it up at high temperatures. It then goes through another machine that expands it from 1 metre to 9 metres long; because as you can imagine, if you are going to bend something without kinks in your pipe, you have to first make sure there are no kinks! Next, it goes through a machine that straightens out any defects like twists or bends. Finally, two longitudinal rolling machines press on both sides of the pipe so that it becomes completely straight and takes its final shape for use in plumbing. Every step of process is carefully controlled by engineers who often operate under tight tolerances to ensure seamless quality products are produced every time. But wait – we’re not done yet! 

A special zinc alloy coating is applied onto each tube prior to delivery to prevent corrosion. Now these aren’t just any old seamless tubes or pipes; they are tested for their strength with x-rays and pressure testing equipment before being packaged up, shipped and sold all over Australia! And yes, even though most people don’t know about how seamless pipes are manufactured, now you do too!
