Right way to storage SSAW steel pipe

To ensure the quality and longevity of SSAW steel pipes, they need be stored properly and the guidelines need to be following. Read on to learn more.

1) Choosing the Storage Space

Select a clean and smooth drainage area for storing spiral steel pipe products or in a warehouse.

Ensure the area is away from harmful gases or dust from factories and mines.

Clear the ground of weeds and all debris to maintain clean steel.

2) Avoiding Corrosive Materials

Do not store spiral steel pipes with acid, alkali, salt, cement, or other corrosive materials.

Stack different varieties of steel separately to prevent confusion and contact corrosion.

3) Open Storage for Large Items

Large steel, rail, steel plates, large diameter steel pipes, and forgings can be stored in open dumps.

4) Ventilated Storage for Medium Items

Small and medium steel, wire rods, rebar, medium diameter steel pipes, steel wire, and wire ropes can be stored in well-ventilated storage sheds, ensuring the base is covered with thatch.

5) Indoor Storage for Small and Valuable Items

Store small steel, sheets, strips, silicon steel, thin-walled small-diameter steel pipes, cold-rolled, cold-drawn steel products, and other high-value or corrosive metal products indoors.

6) Selecting the Right Warehouse

Choose a warehouse based on geographical conditions. Generally, an enclosed warehouse with a roof, walls, tightly fitting doors, and windows is preferred.

Ensure the warehouse is equipped with ventilation devices.

7) Maintaining the Storage Environment

Ensure proper ventilation in sunny weather and close attention to moisture during rain.

Maintain an appropriate storage environment to prevent rust and corrosion.
