How to prevent seamless steel pipe from breaking

  High-precision seamless steel tubes generally improve the properties of the materials by adding alloys to the metal. After cold drawing, the seamless steel tubes need to be subjected to stress relief annealing to eliminate residual stress of the materials, improve the structure of the materials, and improve the material. Plasticity, so as to prevent the occurrence of fracture failure of seamless steel pipe.   At present, the material of the stainless steel seamless steel pipe is ordinary 45# or 20# steel 27SiMn steel, and the strength of the metal is improved by cold drawing deformation; however, it is at the expense of the plasticity and toughness of the sacrificial metal. High-precision cold-drawn seamless steel pipe is based on its high dimensional accuracy and high strength performance. It must ensure that the deformation amount is within a certain range to maximize the performance of the material and reduce the material negative effects.   The deformation of the seamless ste...

Measuring method of steel pipe diameter

  Here are a few ways to measure the diameter of steel pipe:   1. Direct Diameter measurement is the easiest. Measure at the end of the pipe.   2. Direct Diameter measurement with a caliper (useful if the end is not accessible)   3. Measure circumference using a flexible tape and divide the outside circumference by 3.1415. Here the circumference is about 1/32″ (0.03″) less than 6″ = 5.97″. So 5.97 ÷ 3.1415 = 1.900″ diameter – 1 1/2″ nominal pipe.   Many people like using pi tapes to measure the pipe size. Pi tapes, which wrap around the pipe the same way but have units in diameter, can be expensive. With calculators everywhere today, dividing by 3.14 is a snap, making these pi tapes not even necessary. In fact, even using an inexpensive sewing tape works fine!   Round hollow sections can be a true round tube where 2″ is really 2.00″ outside diameter. This is called “2 inch O.D. tubing”. And if you are really lucky enough, the tubing is already marked and you don’t need to eve...
