• Structural steel
• As components in mechanical systems such as:
  • Rollers in conveyor belts
  • Compactors (E.g.: steam rollers)
  • Bearing casing
• Casing for concrete pilings used in construction projects
• High temperature or pressure manufacturing processes
• The petroleum industry:

  • Oil refinery equipment
• Delivery of fluids, either gaseous or liquid, in a process plant from one point to another point in the process
• Delivery of bulk solids, in a food or process plant from one point to another point in the process
• The construction of high pressure storage vessels (note that large pressure vessels are constructed from plate, not pipe owing to their wall thickness and size).
