Mr. Wang Da Hu, Mayor of Cangzhou City visit Hebei All Land

Mr. Wang Da Hu - The mayor of Cangzhou city today has visited Hebei All Land Steel Pipe Manufacturing Co., Ltd, he gives high praise on Hebei All Land and proposed valued recommendations on employment, environmental, and long run development.

Welded vs Seamless Steel Pipe

Steel pipes ranges in seamless steel pipe and welded steel pipe, seamless pipe usually manufactured in hot rolled and cold drawn, welded pipe divided into: Straight seam welded pipe and spiral seam welded pipe. 

Ranges on production methods

Seamless and welded.

Seamless Steel Pipe

Seamless steel pipe as it's name, is manufacturerd from steel round billets, bars, use hot perforation process to transform the round bars in to round pipes. Although it includes several manufacturing processes as follows, hot rolled process used for diameters above 3'' to 24'', cold drawn processes use to produce small diameters below 2'', and cold drawn or cold rolled provides better tolerances than hot rolled. Extruded or jacking process as compensate way to produce pipes in special diameters or big diameters.

  1. Hot rolled seamless, 
  2. Cold rolled seamless,
  3. Cold drawn seamless
  4. Extruded pipes
  5. Pipe jacking

​Welded Steel Pipe

Welded steel pipe manufactured from steel plates or coils, it use mechanical ways to transform the plates into pipe shapes and do the welding. Welded pipe has better production efficiency, lower cost, big diameters up to 100'' advantages than seamless pipes. There are DSAW, LSAW, SSAW, ERW, HFW different welding methods.

  1. Double Submerged Arc Welding Pipe - SAW/DSAW, Ranges in LSAW pipe longitudinal submerged arc welding and SSAW spiral submerged arc welding. LSAW pipe also called JCOE pipe, which it made from steel plate by mechanical press the plates into J-shape, C-shape, O-shape and welding and cold expanding (OD range DN400 to DN1500 for JCOE process). SSAW pipe is made from steel strip or coils which not limited by plates width but can produce large diameters than LSAW pipe, OD range exceed DN2000.
  2. Electric Resistance Welded Pipe - ERW (High Frequency HFW pipe, Low Frequency)
  3. Gas welded Pipe
  4. Furnace Welded Pipe

On seam Types

  1. Straight seam, longitudinal seam
  2. Spiral seam, spiral welded

Secion shapes

  1. Round
  2. Square
  3. Oval
  4. Triangular
  5. Hexagonal
  6. Rhombus
  7. Octagonal
  8. Semicircular 
  9. Other Complex section Steel Pipe

Classified by Applications:

  1. Heat exchanger
  2. Machinery parts
  3. Oil and gas, petroleum transmission
  4. Drilling activities, drill pipe, casing and tubing
  5. Chemical industry
  6. Food, sugar industry
  7. Power station

SSAW Pipe / HSAW Pipe: Spiral Weld Pipe

SSAW Pipe also called HSAW pipe, it means Spiral or Helical Submerged Arc Welding Pipe. SSAW pipe or HSAW pipe offers larger diameters and longer length than LSAW or JCOE pipe. It is produced by steel strip or steel coils.

  • SSAW Pipe: Spiral Submerged Arc Welded Pipe

  • HSAW Pipe: Helical Submerged Arc Welded Pipe

Both SSAW and HSAW mean same production process of sprial weld seam.

SSAW HSAW Pipe Manufacturing Processes 

  • Ultrasonic inspection for row plates or strips.
  • Milling: Double-sided milled on two edges of plates by milling machine to get the required width, in parallelism and beveled shape for welding.
  • Pre-curved on plates: Use pre-bending machine to change the shape of strip forming to the required curvature.
  • Internal and external DSAW welding, double side submerged arck welding.
  • Cut off the pipe to get the ordered length.
  • Ultrasonic Testing to the pipe body and ends to check if there is any defects. Check inner and outer welding seam of the spiral steel pipe and the pipe body.
  • X-Ray test to check any cracks: 100% X-ray industrial television inspection of the inner and outer weld seam, using an image processing system to ensure the sensitivity of flaw detection.
  • Weld grinding on the pipe ends.
  • Cold expanding at pipe ends: Improve the dimensional accuracy of the steel pipe and improve the distribution of the internal stress.
  • Hydrostatic test: The expanded steel pipe is inspected one by one on the hydraulic testing machine to ensure that the pipes meets the test pressure required by the standard
  • Ultrasnoic Inspection to check if any defects caused during hydrostatic test.
  • Pipe Ends beveled. 
  • X-Ray testing: X-ray industrial television inspection and pipe end weld filming of the steel pipe after the expansion and water pressure test.
  • Product inspection on the pipe dimensions, roundness, ends.
  • Anti-corrosion and coating 3PE or FBE: According contracts to do anti-corrosion coating with 3PE or FBE.
  • Painting and Marking.
  • Warehousing and delivery.
