Do steam pipes from boilers have a U shape bend in them every 10 meters?

To take up the thermal stresses which build up as when a metal is heated it expands and when it cools it contracts. If the pipe is straight without a bend the thermal stress will cause it to buckle, it will develop a kink, or may even crack - defeating its very purpose so the bends

What is seamless pipe?
SEAMLESS PIPE IS ALSO CALLED CDS PIPES (COLD DRAWN SEAMLESS PIPES). IT IS USED WIDELY IN MACHINING PARTS, SHAFTS, BEARINGS, CYLINDERS HAVING STRENGTH OF 75000 PSI TENSILE.. IT IS A SOLID CARBON STEEL ROD WHICH IS PUSHED ON TO THE MADREL TO FORM THE SHAPE OF TUBE. IT IS AVAILABLE IN DIFFERENT SIZES.
What is the difference between pipes and tubes?
Pipe n tube are same in shape etc. BUT only difference is Pipe is used for Transferring Material (Gas, Liquid etc.) AND where it is used for Heat Exchanging purpose , It is called TUBE.
What is a steam hose?
A hose is a hollow tube designed to carry fluids from one location to another. Hoses are also sometimes called pipes (the word pipe usually refers to a rigid tube, whereas a hose is usually a flexible one), or more generally tubing. The shape of a hose is usually cylindrical (having a circular cross section).

How do a pipes and tubes can be differ?
Pipes and Tubes may look similar, they are in fact quite different in nomenclature and sizing. Remember that pipes and tubes are rarely interchangeable.The difference between pipe and tube include:ShapeMeasurementTelescoping AbilitiesRigidityApplicationsMetal TypesSizeStrengthShapePipes are always round in shape. Tubes can be square, rectangular or round, as shown in the image to the right.MeasurementPipes are only provided with an inside (nominal) diameter and a “schedule” (which means wall thickness). There’s an easy way to remember this: since pipe is used to transfer fluids or gas, the size of the opening through which the fluids or gas can pass through is probably more important to you than the outer dimensions of the pipe. Tube measurements, on the other hand, are provided as an outside diameter and set ranges of wall thickness.Telescoping AbilitiesTube can be telescoped. Remember to account for the flash weld inside the tube. Pipe, on the other hand, does not have a flash weld. DOM (Drawn over Mandrel) Tube is the best material for telescoping because the inside flash weld has been removed.RigidityAlthough copper and brass tubes can be shaped relatively easily, tubes are are typically rigid. Pipes, on the other hand, are invariably rigid and cannot be shaped without special equipment.ApplicationsOnly pipes are pressure rated and intended to be used for the transference of fluids or gas. Tubes, on the other hand, are used in structural applications.Metal TypesTube is available in hot rolled steel and cold rolled steel. Pipe is typically black steel (hot rolled). Both items can be galvanized.SizePipe is typically available in larger sizes than tube.StrengthTube is stronger than pipe.
What are spiral pipes?
they are pipes in form of a spiral shape :D
What is the shape shared by pipes pasta and people?
the answer is "elbow" :D
Why are pipes mostly cylindrical in shape?
The cylindrical shape of the pipe makes it very strong, and useful for many things other than transporting liquids.Also, you cannot THREAD square pipes.
Why pipes are in circular shape?
A rounded pipe will reduce molecular friction of the fluid or gas traveling in the pipe. Rounded pipes allow freer, faster flow compared with any other shape.

What is 1 hectare equal to?
1 hectare = 10,000 square meters.If this plot of land is square, then the square is 100 meters on every side. But a hectare doesn't have to be any particular shape in order to have an area of 10,000 square meters.
Covert linear meters into square meters?
Linear units can't be converted to units of area. IF the linear meters are the distance around some flat shape AND we know exactly what kind of flat shape it is (like a circle or a square), then we can calculate the number of square meters in the area of the shape. But linear meters and square meters are really two different things, and neither one can be converted into the other.
