Pipes processing

National supplier of steel pipe, valves and fittings

Our team at BlueScope Distribution team can discuss your pipeline requirements, and source a range of quality steel pipe for both the fluid and structural steel markets, at a competitive cost. In addition, we can also assist with the matching valves and fittings needed to augment your pipeline and allow you to complete your project as required.

We understand that different projects serve unique purposes and therefore it is important that our customers can access exactly the right steel pipe that they need to be able to deliver their projects as planned. Some of the varieties of steel pipe we offer include:

Commercial steel pipe

Our teams can supply your business with commercial pipe products manufactured to a range of grades (Light & Extra Light, Medium, Heavy, and Extra Heavy). These commercial steel pipe products can be produced either black or galvanised, or to suit a range of joining methods and fittings, depending on your requirements.

ERW pipe

We can also assist with ERW Sections of varying specifications. These Electric Resistance Welded steel pipes are used in various engineering applications including pipelines created for the transportation of oil and natural gas, fencing, scaffolding, and line piping.

Pressure steel pipe

Pressure pipe is high-pressure steel pipe produced to high specifications in terms of its strength and robustness. These pipes are typically used to carry a fluid (water, steam, hydraulic oil, natural gas, compressed air, brine, aviation fuel, LPG, petroleum, gas, liquid, slurry) and must retain constant, high pressure without leaking.

Seamless pipe

Certain projects in the energy and chemicals sector require seamless steel pipe of a certain strength in order to withstand the demands of continuous use and high pressures. Seamless pipe delivers this strength as it is produced from one uniform steel billet, which gives it inherent strength, as opposed to a standard steel pipe which is folded, rolled, and welded along a seam. 

Steel pipe fittings

Complex projects not only require the right steel pipe, but the correct fittings also. Depending on the needs of our customers, we are able to provide pipe fittings in a variety of finishes to suit many applications. Our fittings can be either galvanised or of black steel. BlueScope Distribution also provides steel unions, and galvanised malleable, buttwelded, grooved, shouldered, and high-pressure fittings.

Valves

Many projects which utilise a large amount of steel pipe such as natural gas, oil, or chemical pipelines require quality valves in order for them to perform their planned functions. To assist our customers in sourcing all of their steel pipe materials from one reliable supplier, we can provide a variety of valves, including butterfly and dual-flap varieties.

Flanges

In addition to pipe fittings and valves, BlueScope Distribution can also source and supply DIN and ANSI flanges. Because we strive to deliver only the highest quality products for our clients, all of our flanges are sourced from globally recognised ISO accredited mills, with material certificates available for all.

Steel pipe processing capabilities

Part of what sets BlueScope Distribution apart from our competitors is our value-adding processing services available to supply your steel pipe in the specification you require.

We offer cut-to-length processing optionality on all of our customer’s orders meaning that once their steel pipe reaches the project site or workshop, these materials can be immediately utilised without additional processing or modification. This has the potential to improve efficiency throughout the life of a project, and ultimately allow our customers’ businesses to achieve stronger results across the board.

Yes, steel is a highly recyclable material, and recycling steel pipes helps to conserve natural resources, reduce energy consumption, and decrease the environmental impact associated with the mining and manufacturing of new steel pipe products.

The lifespan of steel pipes can vary depending on factors such as the type of steel used, the environment in which they are installed, and the conditions to which they are exposed. Generally, however, steel pipes are known for their durability and long lifespan.

It’s important to note that proper installation, maintenance, and corrosion protection measures can significantly extend the lifespan of steel pipes. Regular inspections and addressing issues such as corrosion or damage promptly can contribute to the longevity of the pipes. We offer hot dip galvanised finished pipe products which are perfect for jobs that require longer lasting protection against weather and other conditions.

In Australia, steel pipes undergo various testing procedures to ensure their quality and compliance with industry standards. These tests are conducted at different stages of the manufacturing and production process.

These testing procedures are carried out in accordance with Australian and international standards such as those established by the Australian Standards (AS) and the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO). BlueScope Distribution supply NATA accredited Orrcon Steel manufactured pipe products. These are tested in the fields of Manufactured Goods and Materials; including specific mechanical and chemical testing of steel products.
