Seamless Carbon Steel Pipe

Product details

Introduction

Seamless steel pipes are derived from solid steel that is in sheet or bar form and is formed into a solid round shape known as “billets” which are then heated and cast over a form such as a piercing rod to create a hollow tube or shell.

Manufacturing Process

Billets and coils are delivered to the pipe mill ready to be made into carbon steel pipe. Depending on the capabilities of the pipe mill and the end use of the final product, the casts will be formed into pipe by means of four distinct different manufacturing. Seamless carbon steel pipe has, as its name implies, no longitudinal weld seam. It is, in essence, one solid homogeneous piece of steel. A solid billet is simply heated and then stretched over a series of mandrels until the pipe has achieved its desired diameter and wall thickness.

Inspection

Non-destructive testing (RT, UT, MT or PT)

Heat treatment execution, if specified.

Metallographic examination, if applicable.

Visual and dimensional control.

Hydrostatic test, if applicable.

Painting, coating, marking and color coding check.

Final visual inspection including packaging and quantity control.

Package

Plastic caps plugged at the two sides of pipe ends

Should be avoided by the steel strapping and transport damage

Bundled signs should be uniform and consistent

The same bundle(batch) of steel pipe should be came from the same furnace.

The steel pipe has the same furnace number, the same steel grade, the same specifications.

Application

Seamless carbon steel pipes are extensively applied in the nuclear device, gas conveyance, petrochemical, shipbuilding and boiler industries, with characteristics of high corrosion resistance combined with suitable mechanical properties.
