Metallurgical Properties and Quality Assurance of Spiral Steel Pipe

    Straight seam steel pipe is the production of steel plate, and spiral welded pipe is hot-rolled coil production. The rolling process of the hot strip mill has a series of advantages, and has the ability to obtain the metallurgical technology of producing high quality pipeline steel. For example, a water cooling system is provided on the output stage to accelerate cooling, which allows the use of low alloy components to achieve specific strength grades and low temperature toughness, thereby improving the weldability of the steel. But this system is basically not in the steel plate production plant. Coil alloy content (carbon equivalent) is often lower than similar grades of steel, which also improves the weldability of spiral welded pipe. It should be noted that, since the coil rolling direction of the spiral welded pipe is not perpendicular to the axial direction of the steel pipe, the rolling direction of the steel plate of the straight seam steel pipe is perpendicular to...

Low pressure spiral welded pipe transforms into high pressure one

    Discussion of steel pipes’ function is here among supplier’s communication meeting recently.What surprise us is that as time goes by, with the help of advanced technology, low pressure SSAW can also used for high pressure purpose.     Spiral welded pipe, with the name of spiral, we know that this is a kind of steel pipe that has a seam rolling around its entire length in a spiral form.     In the past, because of the manufacture's method, this kind of steel pipe can only be produced for low pressure and structural applications. With the improving of technology, the production of large hot rolled coils of sufficient width and the development of dependable non-destructive testing methods, it is now possible to produce Spiral Weld pipe for high-pressure service. For Sara, I think this is not the only one steel pipe for changing. As for ERW steel pipe, some customers would say that this kind of steel pipe cannot used for oil or gas transportation due to...

Even a steel pipe needs rest

    I'm a steel pipe and I know it is necessary for me to have a rest. Just like anyone else, feeling the heat and feeling the cold would be normal emotion for steel pipes, like seamless steel pipe, ERW steel pipe and other steel pipes.     As a steel pipe, it follows that any evaluation of a steel pipe's life and a man's life by reference to a common time-scale must result in grievous error. For example, as water steel pipe for transportation of water, human should take care of the rust-proof from water. Thus we may have a long life service. The more the humans show me sympathy with good care, the more I am inclined to forget that I am a steel pipe.     As for oil or gas steel pipe, we would think that high quality production process would be an important step for our masters if they want us to have a good service during our work time. There are different materials, different standards, our masters should have a better notice and a good choice for the ...

Quality control with testing in spiral welded pipe

    Quality would be the first factor for wholesale so that even for suppliers, they would make all of quality things done before they sell products for clients. Like the spiral welded pipe, they would have special testing methods for quality control before the negotiation with clients.     The following facilities are utilized for ensuring stringent quality standards. Xinyue steel, as supplier of various steel pipes, has adopted some of the testing methods for customers:     Universal testing machines(digital): This equipment is for material testing, like the mechanical properties (Ultimate tensile strength, Yield strength, Elongation).     Ultrasonic testing machine: This is for checking strip lamination and flaw detection on welds for pipes in auto mode.

However, now we can even take cost and high quality into consideration and finally get the ERW steel pipe.     Yes! That’s the power of the technology with times going on. It would be a big trouble before for the research of how to increase the welded seam impacting toughness of ERW pipe among the technology of pipe manufacture. Now with the improving of technology, it is no longer a big problem anymore. Thus, even for lots of high pressure work, we can use ERW steel pipe to deal with. Under this situation, ERW casing is applied widely in oil and gas industry and substituted for seamless tubing for its high precision, excellent properties, easy controlling of quality and low cost etc. Finally, lots of clients have seen the obvious economic and social benefit which can be achieved by using ER...

Rust Protection of Spiral Steel Pipe

    As the individual quality of spiral steel pipe is relatively large, it must be stacked in the outdoors, but it will be difficult to avoid the sun and rain, so the problem has been plagued with rust spiral pipe storage time and conditions. Therefore, we need to conduct a comprehensive understanding of the spiral steel pipe rust prevention.     The main use of steel wire brush and other tools on the steel surface grinding, spiral steel pipe cleaning and preheating can be removed loose or tilt of the oxide, rust, welding slag and so on. Hand tools to achieve rust Sa2 level, power tools rust can be achieved Sa3 level, if the steel surface attached to a solid oxide scale, tool rust effect is not ideal, less than anti-corrosion construction requirements of the depth of the anchor pattern.

The main classification of steel pipes

    Different type would have different function for each type of the steel pipe. Thus there are the categories of seamless steel pipe, ERW steel pipe, LSAW steel pipe and also the SSAW steel pipe. Precise pipe would have certain usage for main area.     Main types of the steel pipe are:     Standard pipe: there are three different types of standard metal pipes which include welded pipe(ERW steel pipe, LSAW steel pipe, and SSAW steel pipe), seamless steel pipe(carbon stainless steel pipe) and galvanized steel pipe. Seamless steel pipe and ERW steel pipe would be better when adopted in oil and gas transportation due to high pressure taking with good quality among the pipes.     Oil country tubular goods(OCTG): extraction of oil especially in deep sea needs high quality extraction equipment. Thus line pipe like the ERW, seamless steel pipe which are generally produced to API 5L Specification and are available in X42, X50, X60 etc. Grades for t...

SSAW steel pipe can be found everywhere

    Spiral welded pipe, made from cold formed or hot rolled coil in a single and continuous process, is widely used in our daily life when we pay attention to it. Clients would know where to find the spiral welded pipe and with the development of technology, there is no doubt that more and more places can use it.     Foundation is a nice place to find the spiral welded pipe.

The main difference between cold drawn seamless steel pipe and finish rolling seamless steel pipe

    Process equipment distinction: cold drawn seamless steel pipe is usually 0.5 ~ 100T single-chain or double-chain cold drawn machine. Finished seamless steel tubes are usually carried out on a two-roll mill where the steel pipe is rolled in a ring-shaped bore formed by a variable cross-section round hole and a stationary tapered head.     Production of the product difference: cold drawn seamless steel pipe can produce thin wall thickness of the cold drawn steel pipe, cold drawn shaped steel pipe, such as plum tube, hexagonal tube, bread tube, etc .; finishing seamless steel pipe relative to the wall thickness range Large, can now finish rolling 0.8-40mm.     Wall thickness deviation difference: cold-drawn seamless steel pipe without cold-rolled seamless steel pipe wall thickness deviation is small, so cold-rolled precision seamless steel pipe for the requirements of wall thickness, diameter size deviation of the strict customers, choose cold rolling...

Why does oil drilling choose thick-walled seamless steel tubes?

    Oil is now the world's most important energy, its use is very extensive, a lot of equipment need to use oil can be normal operation. For example, we often use cars, aircraft, generators and so on. If there is no oil, then our life will be a very big change.     So now, oil drilling has been carried out in the uninterrupted. In the oil drilling time, thick-walled seamless steel pipe with this material is widely used. Many people can be more puzzled, thick-walled seamless steel pipe is hollow, its strength should be small, not as good as the use of solid steel column.     Indeed, the solid steel column compared to thick-walled seamless steel pipe, its strength is much higher. However, the strength of thick-walled seamless steel tubes is still very strong, the most important thing is that it has a very big advantage, that is, its vibration is very small. After all, thick-walled seamless steel pipe is hollow, in the drilling time, it can be a good tran...

How to reduce steel pipe corrosion

    Corrosion would be a big trouble for various steel pipes so that manufacturers are trying to figure out the best way to solve this problem. And for welded steel pipe, like ERW steel pipe, we should pay more attention to it.     What cause the corrosion actually? To some extent, we can say that due to the environment is full of oxygen so that the corrosion probability would be higher than the lower oxygen places. Under this situation, reducing oxygen would be a nice try for us. Controlling the amount of hydrogen in the weld pipe’s production process through other means, such as using a low-hydrogen filler metal, is a good complement to proper preheating. Both contribute to a reduced risk of weld failure and cracking. We know that joints would be weakness for welded pipes. Seamless steel pipe would be our first choice if we need to transport some high pressure gas or oil. Of course, ERW steel pipe with high quality joints combination is also great for transportin...
