The difference between LSAW and SSAW steel pipe

　　The main differences between SSAW and LSAW steel pipes are in their length and pattern of welding seam. SSAW pipes have longer welding seams than LSAW pipes and so have a higher risk of seam defects. Meanwhile, for SSAW steel pipes, the welding seam is at a certain angle with the orientation of the priciple stress. This shortens the faulty welding joints of an SSAW steel pipe when compared with an LSAW steel pipe of an equivalent length. (This reduces the danger of a single defect). The disadvantage and advantage mentioned above cancel out each other. The difference between the orientation of the welded seam and the special directivity often major raw material of a SSAW steel pipe enhance its resistance against fracture.

　　In 1998, the Tubular Goods Research Center of CNPC, together with China Petroleum Planning and Engineering Institute conducted a comparative experiment systemically on domestically produced SSAW steel pipes and imported LSAW (UOE) steel pipes.

　　The following conclusions were drawn:

　　1. The strength, tensility and fatigue resistance of the major raw material, seam and heat-affected zones of domestically produced SSAW steel pipes were the same as those of imported UOE pipes.

　　2. The SSAW steel pipes domestically produced under strict quality control can be used in the trunk pipelines for oil and gas distribution.

　　3. If measures are adopted to reduce the residual stress in the domestically produced SSAW pipes and enhance the dimensional accuracy in them, their quality and safety can be on the same level of the imported UOE

SMLS steel pipe for Tanzania Gas pipeline project

图片
Project location: Tanzania Product：SMLS steel pipe Specification：168.3mm*14.27mm*SDR Standard and material：API 5L X52N PSL2 Application: Gas pipeline project In the last week of September, we received a new inquiry from regular customer who stated that it would take 4 weeks for delivery, including anti-corrosion. We learned that the fast delivery is most important point for this order. Xinyue people responded the fastest. Due to this order is for X52N PSL2 G high-grade seamless pipes, the stock quantity cannot meet the quantity of the entire order. With the strong resource integration ability of Xinyue, we found the production schedule of the steel pipe factory within 3 days and quickly organized new production. The customer arranges full process supervision from end customers, contractor customers, intermediate customers, and third parties from raw materials to the factory. During the supervision process of steel pipe production, they all witness the online UT test, Hydrostatic test, ...

Treatment method of steel pipe welding slag inclusion

What is welding slag inclusion? Welded pipe slag inclusions are slag that remains inside the weld. Welding slag inclusions are generally divided into two categories: The first category is metal slag inclusions. The second category is non-metallic slag, which refers to the slag remaining in the weld after welding, including electrode coating or flux, sulfide, oxide and nitride. According to its formation, it can be divided into point-like slag inclusions, linear slag inclusions, chain-like slag inclusions and dense slag inclusions. Slag inclusions will reduce the plasticity and toughness of steel pipe welds, and slag inclusions with sharp corners will cause stress concentration at the tip, and the tip will develop into a crack source, especially in welds with a large tendency to air quenching. Under the action of stress on the steel pipe, cracks will first appear at the slag inclusions in the weld and develop along the way, resulting in a decrease in strength and cracking of the weld. T...

ERW Steel Pipe Deliver to Argentina for oil and gas pipeline

图片
Project location：Argentina Product：ERW Steel Pipe Standard and material：API 5L PSL2 46th GR.X60M Specifications： OD: 457.2mm WT: 9.52mm Lenght:12M Application：oil and gas pipeline In the steel industry, customer demands vary, but quality and delivery time are always the most critical factors. Recently, Xinyue successfully provided a high-quality ERW pipe solution for a customer, and the entire process took only half a month, perfectly demonstrating our ability to respond quickly and execute efficiently. Although the customer’s order quantity was small, the steel grade requirements for the pipes were very high, and the supplier had to be listed in the client’s approved supplier directory. Facing such strict requirements, Xinyue mobilized all available resources and actively engaged with major suppliers. Ultimately, we successfully sourced BaoSteel’s inventory, which perfectly met the steel grade and quality requirements, and ensured on-time delivery. From receiving the inquiry to finali...
