Learn about spiral welded steel pipes

Spiral-welded steel pipe is a type of welded steel pipe produced from cross-cut steel plates and joined using electric arc technology. This product is suitable for water supply and drainage system applications, mechanical engineering, shipbuilding, construction, etc. To better understand what spiral welded steel pipes are?, please join Bao Tin Steel to learn through the article below. This.

What is spiral welded steel pipe?

Spiral welded steel pipe (SSAW), also known as spiral submerged arc welded steel pipe or spiral steel pipe, is a type of steel pipe produced using arc technology with spiral welds running on the wall. tube.

Spiral-welded pipes are currently being produced in various sizes (DN200–DN4000). Suitable for use in large to extremely large-scale systems. This type of pipe is currently one of the indispensable products in many fields, specifically: construction, pipelines, shipbuilding,…

Currently, the Vietnamese market has not mastered this technology, but it needs to be improved. Domestic spiral submerged arc welding (SSAW) steel pipes have very high processing costs, so Bao Tin Steel accepts imports according to customer requirements. If you need to buy SSAW steel pipes, please contact 0932 059 176.

Concept of spiral welded steel pipes

Why choose spiral welded pipes?

  • The welds are evenly distributed into the tube in a spiral style, so every position on the tube has a relatively uniform force-bearing capacity.
  • Designed with standard thickness, outstanding hardness, and good impact resistance,.
  • It is applicable in many fluid environments, such as liquids, heat, compressed air, etc.
  • High durability and a long service life can last up to several decades.
  • Easy to handle and preserve in many ways, namely surface painting or galvanizing,…

The production process of spiral welded steel pipes

The image of the spiral welded steel pipe production process below will help you have a more general view:

Quy trình sản xuất ống hàn xoắn
Spiral welded pipe production process
  • The steel billet is heated to a high temperature, then rolled into steel sheets.
  • The steel plate is rolled and welded in a spiral shape using the electric arc welding method.
  • The welding position is smoothed.
  • The weld position is securely processed and checked carefully.
  • Adjust pipe size according to standard specifications; shape pipe diameter
  • Cut the tube into a predetermined size.
  • Complete the product.
  • Conduct quality inspections.

Steel pipes with different diameters can still be produced from the same type of rolled steel by adjusting the steel rolling angle.

Many tube sizes and lengths can be produced.

Check and give feedback on weld quality using an automatic ultrasonic weld inspection machine.

Common standards for manufacturing spiral welded pipes

API 5L standard

API (American Petroleum Institute) standard is a standard issued by the American Petroleum Institute, specializing in industries related to the oil and gas sector.
Welded steel pipe products in general and spiral welded pipes in particular are manufactured according to API 5L standards with many outstanding features. Specifically: withstand great pressure, withstand high temperatures, and work in many environmental conditions (gasoline, oil, chemicals,…)

ASTM standards

ASTM standards are a set of technical standards for materials and products around the world issued by ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) Organization – American Society for Testing and Materials.
On the market today, there are two ASTM standards commonly applied to SSAW steel pipe production: ASTM A53 and ASTM A252.

BS standards

BS standards (British Standards) are standards for building and evaluating the quality of products or services in many fields. Specifically: civil, construction, industrial, electronics, health,… This is a standard issued by the British Royal National Standards Agency.

You may not know that in the field of manufacturing welded steel pipes, BS standards are regulated by the symbol BS 4360. Two commonly used steel grades in this standard are Grade 43 and Grade 50.
