Advantages and disadvantages of SSAW steel pipe

 SSAW steel pipe: It is rolled by low-carbon structural steel or low-alloy structural steel strip at helix angle to form a tube blank, and then welding the tube seam. The specifications are expressed by outer diameter * wall thickness, and the welded pipe shall be ensured that the hydraulic test, the tensile strength of the weld and the cold bending performance must meet the requirements.


Advantages of SSAW steel pipe:

1. The same width of strip steel can produce different diameter steel pipes

2. Under the same pressure conditions, the stress of the sprial welded seam is smaller than that of the straight seam, which is 75% to 90% that of the straight seam welded pipe, so it can withstand greater pressure. Compared with the LSAW steel pipe of the same outer diameter, the wall thickness can be reduced by 10% to 25% under the same pressure.

3. The size is accurate, the diameter tolerance does not exceed 0.12%, the deflection is less than 1/2000, and the ovality is less than 1%. Generally, the sizing and straightening process can be omitted.

4. It can be produced continuously. In theory, it can produce infinitely long steel pipes, with small loss, and can increase the metal utilization rate by 6% to 8%.

5. Compared with the LSAW steel pipe, the operation is flexible and easy to change and adjust the variety.

6. The equipment is light and low initial investment. It can be made into a trailer-type mobile unit to produce welded pipes at the construction site where the pipeline is laid.

7. Easy to realize mechanization and automation.


Disadvantages of SSAW steel pipe: Due to the use of rolled strip steel as the raw material, there is a crescent curve, and the welding point is in the elastic strip edge area, so it is difficult to align the welding torch, which affects the welding quality. Therefore, it is necessary to set up complex weld tracking and quality inspection equipment.

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
