What Kind of Pipe Is Used for Oil Pipelines? What Are the Three Types of Pipelines?

Steel tube products are primarily employed in oil pipelines as oil pipelines require high strength, pressure resistance, and durability for the long distance transportation.
The most common material used for pipe products is carbon steel pipe owing to the its the ultimate strength, cost-effectiveness, and corrosion resistance when combined with external coatings and cathodic protection.
Some common petroleum pipeline standards include:
ISO 3183 steel pipe
Global specification for line pipe utilized in the oil and gas industry. This includes seamless and strip- or plate-welded pipes for use as onshore or offshore pipelines.
ASTM A106 Steel Pipe
Seamless Carbon Steel Pipe Standard ASM A106 specification covers seamless carbon steel pipes which are primarily intended for high temperature application such as in oil refineries, pumping stations and pipeline system auxiliaries.
Oil and gas pipe
It generalises the industry for line pipe, casing, and tubing for production, transportation, and drilling.
Petrolem pipeline pipe Rolling specifically relates to the steel pipe long distance crude oil and refined product transportation, built of carbon steel, coated with external anti-corrosive coating and internally sometimes with flow assisting coatings.

Long-distance oil pipelines in particular are mostly large diameter pipes, welded or seamless, of carbon steel according to the standards of ISO, ASTM, or API."
