Spiral steel pipe connection skills
Spiral steel pipes, also known as SSAW pipes, are welded pipes made from strip steel coils, extruded at regular temperatures, and welded using an automatic double-wire double-sided submerged arc welding process. The quality of the joint in spiral steel pipe construction directly affects the connection strength and sealing of the pipe. Here are some operating tips and key considerations for achieving a seamless joint without misalignment.

The damaged form of SSAW steel pipe surface
SSAW (Spiral Submerged Arc Welding) steel pipes are protected by a very thin, stable layer of fine chromium-rich oxide film. This protective film prevents oxygen atoms from penetrating the steel, thereby providing oxidation resistance and anti-corrosion properties. However, if this film is damaged, air or liquid oxygen can penetrate, causing the iron atoms to oxidize and leading to surface corrosion. There are several common ways this protective film can be damaged.

Carbon seamless steel pipe surface roughness standard
Carbon steel seamless steel pipe (CS SMLS pipe) is manufactured through cold drawing (extrusion) and hot rolling processes. These pipes do not require welding, offering good surface flatness and high dimensional accuracy in both inner and outer diameters. They can withstand high pressure and are widely used in petroleum, chemical, aviation, and light industry sectors.

Eddy current nondestructive testing method for spiral welded steel pipe
Pipeline transportation is an increasingly crucial method for the efficient transport of oil and gas. In China, large-diameter transportation pipelines predominantly use spiral welded steel pipes due to their mature manufacturing processes and low costs. However, to ensure the reliable operation of these pipelines, it is essential to strictly guarantee the quality of the spiral steel pipes used.

Cause analysis of LSAW steel pipe surface crack
Surface microcracks in LSAW steel pipes significantly impact product quality, ranging from minor defects to severe issues that can lead to product rejection. These defects are particularly prominent in pipes containing elements like niobium, vanadium, and titanium, which seriously affect product quality and yield rates. The presence of surface microcracks not only results in substantial economic losses for enterprises but also limits the development of plate production lines. Longitudinal surface microcracks, such as edge cracks, longitudinal cracks, and star cracks, arise from several factors, including improper rolling process parameters, abnormal continuous casting processes, inherited slab cracks, and the enrichment of residual elements.
