Ramani AswathSymmetric, best hoop strength, simple joints without alignment issues and ease of manufacture. -
CIVILPRINCESSalso less perimeter for the same cross-section compared to the other shapes. that will imply less cost and less friction.

Not quite. Friction factor is higher for laminar flows. See Moody Chart here:saimriyazOffer least drag to fluid flow.....................flow remain laminar at higher speed

OK, circular pipe has a greater capacity of sustaining stress. If produced by seamless tubing method, it is of best quality. While other reasons like less drag etc are already provided by our fellow CEans. 😀
