Symmetric, best hoop strength, simple joints without alignment issues and ease of manufacture.Are you sure? This action cannot be undone. -

also less perimeter for the same cross-section compared to the other shapes. that will imply less cost and less friction.Are you sure? This action cannot be undone. -

Offer least drag to fluid flow.....................flow remain laminar at higher speedAre you sure? This action cannot be undone. -

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

Easy flow, and doesn't stop at intervals.Are you sure? This action cannot be undone. -

Did't see this thread earlier.
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. 😀Are you sure? This action cannot be undone.
