Steel pipe, valves and fittings from BlueScope Distribution

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 pipe we offer include:

Commercial 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 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. 

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.

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. 

Contact one of our many Australian branches to talk with our experienced team about how our processing services can enhance your operations, cut down on double handling, and ultimately accelerate the completion of your projects.

We understand that complex operations involve multiple moving parts and dynamic, changing environments. This makes it difficult to both execute high-quality projects and coordinate logistical matters and supply chains simultaneously. For this reason, we aim to assist our customers in alleviating some of the strain of operational matters, in order to free up businesses to execute and deliver on their core services- high-quality steel pipe applications on high-quality projects. At BlueScope Distribution, we are dedicated to serving customers across Australia. Our metro branches are strategically located in Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth, and Sydney, and we also have many rural branches to provide customers who live out-with these locations with high quality steel products.

Different projects have unique requirements and it is important that our customers can access exactly the right steel pipe that they need to meet project requirements.  Some of the varieties of pipe we offer include:

• Commercial pipe: Commercial pipe products are typically used in the construction of infrastructure projects such as tunnels, bridges, highways, and airports. We supply a range of commercial pipe products, in a number of grades and sizes. Our commercial pipe products are available in grades, light & extra light, medium, heavy and extra heavy gauge. In size, they range from 2.0mm in thickness to 5.0mm with an outside diameter of (OD) 26.9mm to 165.1mm.
• ERW pipe & linepipe: ERW steel pipes are used in various engineering applications including pipelines for the transport of oil and natural gas, as well as in fencing, scaffolding, and line piping. Our range of ERW pipe and line pipe comes in sizes ranging from an OD of 21.3mm to 762mm. Our linepipes are engineered to high specifications, ensuring strength and robustness for high-pressure applications. These pipes maintain constant high pressure without the risk of leakage.
• Seamless linepipe: We offer seamless pipes for projects in the energy and chemicals sector demanding steel pipes with specific strength to endure continuous use and high pressures. Talk to us today about our line pipe products ranging from an OD of 21.3mm to 457.2mm, these are available nationally through our BlueScope Distribution sites.

Steel pipes are found in a wide range of applications across various industries due to their durability, strength, and versatility. Some common applications of steel pipes include:

• Construction and building infrastructure: Steel pipes are used in plumbing systems for water and gas distribution.

BlueScope Distribution provides a complete range of commercial, ERW and line pipes which may be suitable for construction and building applications.

Infrastructure Projects: Steel pipes are used in the construction of infrastructure projects such as tunnels, bridges, highways, and airports.

• Automotive Industry: Steel pipes are used in the automotive industry for various applications, including the construction of exhaust systems and other structural components.
• Mining, oil and gas: Steel pipes and seamless line pipes are utilised in the mining, oil and gas industry for transporting minerals and gas. They are also used as structural elements in mining infrastructure.
• Renewable Energy: Steel pipes are used in renewable energy projects, such as the construction of infrastructure and the transportation of geothermal fluids.

BlueScope Distribution are experienced in servicing each of these industries and have the expertise to help you get the right steel for your project. We have 16 sites nationally in metro and regional locations. Get in contact with your local branch today to speak to us about our steel pipe offering.

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.
