Advantages of Ø 406 seamless pipes
- High durability and hardness. Ø 406 cast pipes are made from steel with high strength and hardness, helping to increase the pipe’s ability to withstand force and pressure during use.
- Good strength and pressure resistance. Due to their large diameter and relative thickness, DN400 seamless steel pipes have good strength and pressure resistance, especially in industrial and construction applications.
- Good corrosion resistance and wear resistance. DN400 seamless pipe has better corrosion resistance than other types of pipe, helping to increase the life and durability of the pipe during use.
- Easy to process and install. With a large inner diameter and relative thickness, Ø 406 seamless steel pipes are easy to process and install, helping to save time and costs during construction.
- High applicability. Ø 106 seamless pipes are widely used in many different fields, including the oil and gas industry, construction, mechanical engineering, and pipe equipment manufacturing.
Applications of Ø 406 seamless steel pipe according to ASTM A106/API 5L standards
As mentioned above, Ø 406 seamless steel pipe is a large-diameter pipe. Strength and heat resistance are also good. So this product has many applications in different industries, including:
- Oil and Gas Conveyance: This product is used to transport oil and gas to different areas both domestically and internationally.
- Chemicals: ASTM A106/API 5L standard DN400 steel pipe is used to transport chemicals from manufacturing plants to distributors or other points of use.
- Thermal power: This product is used to transport water and steam in thermal power plants.
- Construction: This product is used to construct bridges, pipelines, and other structures.
- Shipbuilding: ASTM A106/API 5L standard DN400 steel pipe is also used in shipbuilding applications. Mainly used for the construction of tanks, pipes, and other components in ships.
Ø 406 seamless steel pipe standard ASTM A106/API 5L has many applications in different industries. However, readers also need to consider the actual needs of the project. To make the most suitable choice, help save costs and ensure safety.
Production process of Ø 406 seamless steel pipe according to ASTM A106/API 5L standards
Normally, to produce large-diameter seamless steel pipes such as Ø 406, manufacturers will use a rolling mill or mill with a mandrel.
The specialized name for this method is Plug Rolling Mill, also known as the Mannesmann mandrel milling method. Invented by Mannesmann, a German engineer.
Mandrel rolling machine method
This method is used to produce pipes of medium diameter.
On the mill, the heated steel billet is passed through its center.
The punched workpiece then moves to a mandrel mill or pin end mill. There, the billet is rolled using a pin or mandrel bar inserted inside.
After the pin or mandrel is withdrawn, the rolling shell is reheated before processing on a sizing mill or expansion mill to achieve the desired wall thickness and outside diameter.
The seamless steel pipe is then passed through a cutting machine to be cut into the required lengths.
Then it will continue to be painted or galvanized to protect the surface. And finally, print product information, including the manufacturer name, tube specifications, and batch code.
