Black steel pipe refers to ordinary iron pipe, which is mainly used for gas pipelines and is also used to connect electrical appliances and their supply pipes.

Black steel pipes are also used in fire sprinkler systems because of their strong heat resistance. It is usually connected by welding or using a mechanical coupling. It can even replace galvanized pipes in projects other than conveying drinking water.

Black iron pipe is actually made from a low-grade "mild steel" compound. This gives it better corrosion resistance than traditional cast iron pipes. There are few standards that all black iron pipes adhere to. However, they are all designed to handle natural gas and propane gases, which are typically kept below 60 psi. If installed correctly, black iron pipe must meet standards that guarantee a pressure rating of at least 150 psi.
