Manufacturing technology of large-diameter straight seam submerged arc welded steel pipe

At Hunan Spai Steel, we specialize in providing high-quality steel products, including large-diameter straight seam submerged arc welded (SAW) steel pipes. These pipes are widely used in industries such as oil and gas transportation, water supply, and structural applications due to their strength and durability.

What is Large-Diameter Straight Seam Submerged Arc Welded Steel Pipe?

Large-diameter straight seam submerged arc welded (LSAW) steel pipes are produced using a process where steel plates are rolled into cylindrical shapes and then welded together along a straight seam. The submerged arc welding (SAW) method uses an arc between the workpiece and the electrode beneath a layer of flux, which provides a clean weld with deep penetration, making it ideal for larger pipes.

Key Features of LSAW Steel Pipe:

1. Durable and Reliable: LSAW pipes are built for high-pressure environments and long-term service.
2. Strong Welded Joints: The submerged arc welding process ensures high-quality welds that can handle heavy stress.
3. Large Diameters Available: Ideal for projects requiring wider pipes, LSAW pipes are suitable for high-volume flow systems.
4. Customizable: We offer tailor-made solutions to meet the specific needs of various projects.

Manufacturing Process

1. Plate Preparation: The manufacturing process begins with high-quality steel plates, which are cut and shaped according to the required dimensions.

2. Forming the Pipe: The plate is bent into a circular shape, forming the basic structure of the pipe. This is known as the "J-C-O" process (J-shape, C-shape, and O-shape) and ensures accurate forming.

3. Submerged Arc Welding: Using the submerged arc welding technique, the steel plates are welded together along the seam. This welding method provides a strong bond, high efficiency, and excellent finish quality.

4. Ultrasonic Testing and X-ray Inspection: To ensure the quality of the welds, we perform ultrasonic and X-ray inspections. This guarantees that the pipes meet international quality standards.

5. Hydrostatic Testing: Each pipe undergoes hydrostatic testing to check for any potential leaks or weak spots, ensuring that it can handle high pressure.

6. Surface Treatment: Finally, the pipes are coated with corrosion-resistant materials to ensure longevity, especially for applications in harsh environments like seawater or chemical processing plants.

Applications of Large-Diameter LSAW Steel Pipe

• Oil and Gas Pipelines: LSAW pipes are commonly used for transporting oil and natural gas over long distances.
• Water Supply Systems: These pipes are ideal for large-scale water transportation projects.
• Structural Engineering: Their strength makes them suitable for bridges, buildings, and infrastructure projects.
• Marine Applications: Their corrosion resistance makes them perfect for offshore drilling platforms and shipbuilding.
