As we’ve reported on before, 2025 ended with uncertainty. While the overall picture showed a steady supply of projects in the near future, many of those were limited to specific industries such as data centers or infrastructure projects. Meanwhile the value of other industries like institutional planning (hospitals, schools, government facilities etc) was down. This

Copper is the backbone of the modern world. It is a very important material that is used in everything, from the power grid to the car in your driveway. The need for high-conductivity materials has grown as global industries move toward electric cars and green energy. Copper Bars and Rods serve as the heavy-duty carriers

In industrial piping systems, failures rarely originate from pipes alone. More often, they result from incorrectly specified fittings—mismatched standards, inconsistent threads, or unsuitable joining methods.For this reason, black steel pipe fittings remain a preferred solution in gas distribution, fire protection, HVAC, and mechanical systems where structural integrity, weldability, and pressure stability are critical.

In common engineering projects, the most frequently used materials are: Q235B, suitable for standard environments. Q345B and Q355B, offering higher strength. Q420, used for high-load and deep-buried applications. Export projects often utilize S235 and S355. American standard projects typically feature A36, A572, and A252. The oil and gas industry is even more familiar with these:

Earlier this year, retail giant Walmart and 3D printing construction company Alquist 3D completed a 5,000 square-foot 3D printed concrete expansion to the Owens Cross Roads, Alabama store. Here’s what you need to know about this innovation. Who is Alquist 3D? Alquist 3D began in 2020 after founder Zachary Mannheimer was awarded a grant from

Winter isn’t just about snow. Freezing temperatures, ice, and fluctuating conditions can seriously stress heavy equipment. Fluids thicken, rubber and plastic components become brittle, batteries lose capacity, and exposed mechanical components are more vulnerable to wear, corrosion, and damage. Doing a comprehensive winter-prep at the right time helps you avoid breakdowns, costly repairs, delays, and

Carbon steel pipe as a pressure vessel and pipeline core material, its weight size in petrochemical, construction machinery manufacturing and other fields is very big impact, will directly affect the project costing, transportation program design and structural load-bearing safety. This article provides carbon steel pipe weight calculation formula, industry standard comparison and actual engineering cases

What is ASTM A270？ ASTM A270 is a standard developed by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM). This standard specifies three processes: seamless, welded, and EFW. It is a standard for sanitary-grade piping for austenitic and ferritic stainless steel. It has an extremely high sanitation level and is suitable for processing equipment such

Oil and natural gas are both corrosive, placing extremely high demands on the corrosion resistance of pipelines. The corrosion resistance of a pipeline directly affects its lifespan. So, how can we improve the corrosion resistance of pipelines? External Anti-corrosion Coating External anti-corrosion coating is applied to the outer surface of the pipeline, especially for underwater
