Large Diameter Pipe

admin

Hi Guys,Has anyone ever bought or priced large diameter pipe? I am contemplating a project that would require about 6-8' of 20 or 24" Sched 10 (.25") or sched 40 (.375") pipe, rolled/welded, steel.I was planning to call my supplier tomorrow but was wondering what others have paid for this kind of material.Thanks.

Reply:Hate that darn rusty steel, why does it do that???
Reply:I have seen stuff like that listed on Craigslist here all the time. It is usually starting at 100 clams and goes up from there. Rust would be your friend...cheapens the price somewhat.For example....http://sanantonio.craigslist.org/mat/2215732231.htmlLast edited by DDA52; 02-27-2011 at 10:50 PM.QamuIs Heg qaq law' lorvIs yInqaq puS

Reply:I have seen bbq pits made from truck rims and barrels. I have had barrels as fire pits and currently have a dryer drum. Once the paint finally burnt off the dryer drum, the drum worked great for a fire pit. Had to burn some holes into the sides to make the fire breath better. I burned the holes in when I was ready to have a fire. Two birds with one stone
Reply:I sold a 4' lenth of 20" well casing it was left over from a job for 60.00. but last time I priced out new pipe it was in the 70 cents a pound range plus cut charges. you can call some of the local well drillers they might have some rems laying around but it would be short lengths that had to be welded togetherDo not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.
Reply:One foot of 24" schedule 40 is about 170lbs.. One foot of 24" schedule 10 is just over 60lbs. Big difference if you're buying by the pound."The things that will destroy America are prosperity at any price, peace at any price, safety first instead of duty first, the love of soft living and the get rich quick theory of life." -Theodore Roosevelt
Reply:if your buying new your buying by the pound. and what is #1 scrap 25 cents lbs  at the dock?Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.
Reply:I was just at a salvage yard Saturday and they were charging 50 cents a pound. and if you had them cut something it was 60 cents a pound... there was 20 inch there, and then I found two full lengths of 42 inch laying way in the back, I asked for a price for a cut off 4 feet long. 4 feet of 42 inch cut would run me about 580. -pass on that. Im not a lucky person but I can get better than that on accident if I just wait.
Reply:If your going to use it for a BBQ. Look on craigslist for kerosene tanks or propane tanks. People just about give them away on there and even if you cut the ends out of it and just use the center as a pipe you are coming out way cheaper.
Reply:I just happened to buy a 8' section of 24" diameter 0.500 wall pipe last week.  $109 per foot, plus shipping.  This was for quality material, minimal rust, no significant pitting, and round to API 5L specs.
