Definition and difference of straight seam welded pipe and spiral welded pipe

First, the definition

The main raw materials of spiral welded pipe and straight seam welded pipe are low carbon steel hot rolled coil and hot rolled strip. They are widely used in petroleum, metallurgy, construction, coal mine, port, machinery and other industries for oil and gas transportation, low pressure water gas transportation and mining fluid transportation. , belt conveyor rollers, car drive shafts, etc.

Spiral welded pipe is made by rolling a low carbon carbon structural steel or a low alloy structural steel strip into a tube blank at a certain angle of a helix (also called a forming angle), and then welding the pipe joint to make it narrower. Strip steel produces large diameter steel pipes. Spiral welded pipe is mainly spiral submerged arc welded pipe (SSAW), which is widely used in the construction of various gas pipelines in China. Its specifications are expressed by the outer diameter * wall thickness. Spiral welded pipes are single-sided welded and double-sided welded. The welded pipe shall ensure that the hydraulic test and the tensile strength and cold bending performance of the weld are in compliance with the regulations.

The straight seam welded pipe is formed by forming a hot rolled coil through a molding machine to deform the steel coil into a smooth cylindrical shape, and welding by using the skin effect of the high frequency current and the adjacent effect or the arc under the solder layer to make the blank The edge is heated and melted, and is fused under a certain pressing force, and finally cooled to form. The high-frequency straight seam welded pipe (ERW) in which the edge of the pipe blank is melted by high-frequency current is called a straight seam submerged arc welded pipe (LSAW).

Second, the difference in technology

Straight seam welded pipe has simple production process, high production efficiency, low cost and rapid development. The strength of the spiral welded pipe is generally higher than that of the straight welded pipe. It is possible to produce a welded pipe with a large diameter by using a narrow blank, and it is also possible to produce a welded pipe having a different pipe diameter by using a blank of the same width. However, compared with the straight pipe of the same length, the weld length is increased by 30 to 100%, and the production speed is low.

Therefore, most of the smaller diameter welded pipes are straight seam welded, while the large diameter welded pipes are mostly spiral welded.

Spiral welded pipe is made by rolling a low carbon carbon structural steel or a low alloy structural steel strip into a tube blank at a certain angle of a helix (also called a forming angle), and then welding the pipe joint to make it narrower. Strip steel produces large diameter steel pipes.
