Production Process of Large Diameter Welded Pipe

 The main production process of large-diameter welded pipe,

Plate inspection: After the steel plate used to make large-diameter submerged arc welded pipe enters the production line, the whole plate is firstly inspected by ultrasonic;

Edge milling: Double-sided milling is performed on both sides of the steel plate by a milling machine to make it reach the required plate width, plate edge parallelism and groove shape.

 Pre-bending: Use a pre-bending machine to pre-bend the edge of the board so that the edge has a curvature that meets the requirements;

Forming: On the JCO forming machine, one half of the pre-bent steel plate is stamped repeatedly and pressed into a "J" shape, and then the other half of the steel plate is bent into a "C" shape, finally forming an opening The "O" shape 5.

Pre-welding: The formed longitudinally welded steel pipes are joined together and the gas maintenance welding (MAG) is selected for continuous welding.

Internal welding: For large-caliber self-seam welded pipes, longitudinal multi-wire submerged arc welding (four wires at most) is used for welding on the inside of the welded pipe;

Outer welding: large-diameter self-seam welded pipes are welded on the outside of the longitudinal submerged arc welded steel pipe with longitudinal multi-wire submerged arc welding.

Ultrasonic inspection I: 100% inspection of the front and back welds of the longitudinally welded steel pipe and the base materials on both sides of the weld; welded pipes.

X-ray inspection I: 100% X-ray industrial TV inspection of the welds on the outside and inside, and an image processing system is selected to ensure the sensitivity of flaw detection;

Diameter expansion: large-diameter self-seam welded pipe expands the full length of the submerged arc welded pipe to improve the dimensional accuracy of the steel pipe and improve the distribution of internal stress in the steel pipe.

Hydraulic test: The expanded steel pipes are inspected one by one on the hydraulic testing machine to ensure that the steel pipe reaches the test pressure required by the specification. The machine has the function of automatic recording and storage;

Chamfering: Process the pipe end of the qualified steel pipe to reach the required pipe end bevel size.

The Method of Extending the Service Life of Seamless Pipe

图片
Seamless steel pipes   have hollow sections and are widely used as pipes for conveying fluids, such as pipes for conveying oil, natural gas, gas, water and certain solid materials. The seamless pipe has a certain corrosion resistance, but in order to prolong the service life of the seamless pipe in some extreme environments, it is necessary to remove the oxide layer on the surface of the product. The main cleaning method is pickling. After cleaning, electrolytic cleaning is required again. 1. The seamless steel pipe must wear labor protection supplies before pickling. The on-site working environment should also be checked in detail, mainly to check whether the hoisting of the steel pipe is intact, and work can only be carried out after confirming that it is intact. 2. When pickling seamless steel pipes, the pickling method is mainly hydrochloric acid pickling. Usually, the content of hydrochloric acid is preferably 18% to 20%. 3. The staff also need to know the concentration and temper

Methods of Connecting Spiral Pipes

图片
The most commonly used method of connecting   large-diameter spiral steel pipes   is welding. However, manufacturers also use threaded connections, flange connections, socket connections, and groove connections in projects. In the post,   Xiangjiasteel   would like to introduce you some details about three main connections. 1. Welding and Flange Connection Welding and flange connections are traditional methods of connecting spiral pipes. These methods do not fully meet market demands in terms of safety, sealing performance, cost efficiency, and repair efficiency. They are mainly used for water transmission pipelines, oil and gas pipelines, chemical pipelines, and power pipelines. 2. Clamp Fitting Connection Clamp fitting connections are an advanced method of pipe connections. They can be used for both exposed and buried installations, accommodating both rigid and flexible joints.  3. Groove Fitting Connection Groove fitting connections, also known as clamp connections, have become the

Exploring the Importance of Drill Pipe

图片
Oil Country Tubular Goods   (OCTG) are vital components in oil and gas drilling activities. The term OCTG refers to a range of piping products specifically designed for use in the production of oil and gas. These products include drill pipes, casing pipes, tubing pipes, couplings, connections, and accessories. In this article, we will focus on the significance of drill pipes, one of the three main types of OCTG pipes. A drill pipe is a robust, seamless tube that serves a crucial role in drilling operations. It facilitates the rotation of the drill bit and allows the circulation of drilling fluid. This fluid helps in pumping through the drill bit and flowing back up the annulus, the space between the casing and the piping. The Importance of Drill Pipe in OCTG Endeavors: Drill pipes are designed to withstand axial tension, high torque, and internal pressure. Their strength and durability make them indispensable in the oil and gas industry. Here are some key reasons why drill pipes are cr
