How To Distinguish Between Seamless Steel Pipes and Hot Expanded Steel Pipe

  Nowadays, with the advancement of seamless steel pipe technology and the increase in demand, there are many types of seamless steel pipes. Everyone feels so confused when they choose. Among them are hot-expanded steel pipes and seamless steel pipes. Today, I will explain to you the differences between the two types of steel pipes.   In general, both the hot-expanded steel pipe and the seamless steel pipe have strict requirements on the steel used for the manufacture of the steel pipe. The hot-expanded steel pipe is only a manufacturing process of the steel pipe, and the small-diameter steel pipe is processed into a large-diameter steel pipe.   Thermal expansion steel pipe: First of all, in the appearance of the steel pipe, the heat expansion is red, and the inner diameter is lead powder.   The steel pipe to be thermally expanded has strict requirements on the quality of steel grades, and it is usually necessary to use a steel pipe having a high shrinkage property and a rough p...

Steel tube toughness index

  The toughness index of steel pipe is the same as the index of strength of steel pipe, and it is the most important mechanical and physical performance index. The toughness index generally demands from three aspects.   1, FATT indicators   FATT is the abbreviation of Fracture Appearance Transition Temperature, which is usually translated as "ductile-brittle transition temperature". FATT can be divided into three types: one is based on the DWTT test, and the shear temperature (ShearArea) is 80% or 85%, and the temperature is the transition temperature. This method is the most applied, and the shear area is 80. %, the other is based on the Charpy test and the third is based on the blast test.   2, Cracking toughness index   The length of the defect 2a (or the equivalent crack length) in the steel pipe will gradually increase due to fatigue crack growth, corrosion crack growth and other reasons. When 2a increases to the critical crack length 2ac, the "mass change...

API Coupling for Tubing and Casing Pipe

  The casing pipe coupling is a kind of oilfield drilling tool, which is mainly used for the connection of the oil pipe, and mainly solves the problem that the existing coupling easily generates fatigue fracture due to stress concentration.   The tubing coupling structure is: the tubing end is connected to the inner wall of the coupling by a taper thread, and the end of the coupling body and the oil pipe are connected by the same thread with the pitch flat thread. The utility model has the characteristics of alleviating the stress concentration of the root of the external thread of the single taper thread connection tubing, is not easy to produce fatigue fracture, and has good connection effect. Effectively prevent oil well pipe string breakage accidents.   The coupling is divided into a tubing coupling and a casing coupling. Commonly used steel grades are J55, K55, N80, L80, P110 and so on.   Main buckle type: NU (not thickened), EU (thickened), TBG (not thickened), UP-TBG (thic...

9 ways to avoid water hammer problems in steam pipelines

  1.Providing adequate drainage prevents water hammer completely, for this the necessary safety measures must be taken so that the water (condensate) is drained before it accumulates in a sufficient quantity so that the steam collects it.   2.Incorporate documented operating procedures that serve as steps to be followed by plant personnel during the start and stop of the steam system. It is key to train the technical personnel responsible for the plant and the operators in the application of these procedures.   3.Improve steam quality, keeping steam as dry as possible at all times. This can be achieved by installing systems to recover condensate upstream in the meters and any other critical component of the steam system.   4.Prevent steam speeds from becoming excessive as a result of system modifications. The higher the speed, the greater the impact force during an event driven by steam flow.   5.Install a back pressure control valve in the steam pipe to prevent the pressure in...

What is the difference between A53 pipeline and A106 pipeline?

  A53 Pipe vs A106 Pipe - (1) Scope   ASTM A53 is standard specification for pipe, steel, black and hot-dipped, galvanized-coated, welded and seamless.   ASTM A106 is standard specification for seamless carbon steel tube for high temperature service.   A53 Pipe vs A106 Pipe - (2) Type of pipe applied   A 53 can be welded seam or seamless, depending on how it is specified for purchase. It is a general steel tube specification and covers galvanized pipe as well as black pipe.   A106 is a similar tube in the chemical composition, but is intended for high temperature service (up to 750 Degs F). It is a seamless tube.   At least in the US, there is usually A53 for the welded tube while A106 is seamless. If you request A53 in the US, you will cite A106 as a substitute.   A53 Pipe vs A106 Pipe - (3) Chemical composition   For example, when we compare between A106-B and A53-B without problems from the point of view of chemical composition, we find that:   1.

More Cost Savings With Seamless Steel Pipes

  As the saying goes, "shopping around", everyone will go through a lot of comparisons when buying pipes, comparing price, quality, pressure resistance, and corrosion resistance. After comparison, you will find that although the price of seamless steel pipe is higher than ordinary steel pipe, its quality is much better than ordinary steel pipe.   Because the seamless steel pipe adopts the hot rolling cold drawing production process, the seamless steel pipe is superior in toughness, compression resistance and twisting strength. Moreover, the seamless steel pipe is subjected to pickling and passivation surface treatment to form a protective film on the surface of the steel pipe, and then acid-washed and then replenished by electrolysis to further protect the seamless steel pipe. Therefore, seamless steel pipes are more resistant to corrosion and oxidation. In addition, our seamless steel pipe is formed by laminating molten steel in a molten state through a ring-shaped slit an...
