Seemles vs. Welded Tubing
Thank you both. From your comments, my conclusion is that seam-welded steel is of a material that doesn't improve from heat treatment, so I can assume that, if properly welded (as guaranteed by NDT), it is the same strength as seamless of the same type. Weaker, non-heat-treatable steels are...- RobertHM
