LSAW pipes Production Range 

LSAW (Longitudinally Submerged Arc Welded Steel pipes) in leaflets plate as raw material, the steel plate in the mold or molding machine pressure (volume) into using double-sided submerged arc welding and flaring from production.

The developing trend of LSAW steel pipe in the future: 

a. in terms of the onshore gas,with the large diameter LSAW steel pipe, its single-tube gas transmission capacity could reach the level of 50 billion cubic meters / year, pipe diameter can reach ф1422mm, steel grade achieve X80, and gas transmission pressure can reach 12MPa; 

b. in terms of the ocean steel pipe, the gas pipeline develops towards the direction of deep-sea pipeline (> 1500 meters), marine structural tube towards the direction of high-intensity, large wall thickness, for example ф610mm×31.8mm, X65 grade;

c. in terms of business management, plate and pipe integration (steelmaking - Continuous Casting - rolled plate - pipe manufacturing) is the future development trend, for example in Japan and India plate and strip production line is always equipped with a welded steel pipe unit;

d. entering the market of high-grade structural tubes, this is an important question to be considered by the LSAW steel pipe production line manufacturer when deploying the device, so it is necessary to set the preheating device before pre-welding, or set the heat treatment process and so on; 

e. in marketing, in addition to oil and gas pipelines, there is slurry pipelines; 

f. anti HIC tube and anti deformed tube are with a considerable market prospect, can be used to transport acid gases and improve the ability against external environmental damage in harsh geological conditions (landslides, mudslides, earthquakes).

Application of LSAW pipe

Base on its advantage of high reliability and safety performance, the LSAW pipe is widely used in various pipelines engineering and construction, even under the most severe condition, and also can be used in engineering of chemical industry, electric power, irrigation, construction and piling etc.

Our technical support for ERW , SSAW & LSAW stel pipe

Mainly as a field gathering pipe and internal high-pressure natural gas pipeline of small-caliber, long-distance pipelines for oil and gas a small number, the vast majority of long-distance pipeline is the use of high-frequency straight seam welded pipe (ERW), spiral submerged arc welded pipe (SSAW), LSAW steel pipe (LSAW) three.

Inspection & Test Plan for LSAW

LSAW (Inspection & Test Plan for LSAW) in leaflets plate as raw material, the steel plate in the mold or molding machine pressure (volume) into using double-sided submerged arc welding and flaring from production.

The purpose of cold expansion for LSAW steel pipe

After cold expansion for lsaw steel pipe, steel tube and pipe end diameter will increase by about one percent difference in diameter of the diameter, roundness, and the pipe ends are greatly improved, also have greatly improved the straightness of the steel pipe, steel pipea length of about 0.5% reduction in wall thickness decreases by about 0.8%.

The LSAW steel pipe producing equipments

The major equipment such as Plate Edge Milling Machine, Plate Edge Crimping Machine, Pipe Forming Press, Tack Welding Machine and Pipe Expander all adopt the technology and equipment of SMS MEER. The SMS MEER is the most famous special manufacturer to design and manufacture the whole production line equipment for LSAW pipe in the world . They have supplied all kinds of steel pipe manufacturing equipment for plenty of LSAW pipe manufacturers in the world and have got a very good reputation in this field.

Base on its advantage of high reliability and safety performance, the LSAW pipe is widely used in various pipelines engineering and construction, even under the most severe condition, and also can be used in engineering of chemical industry, electric power, irrigation, construction and piling etc.

UOE LSAW steel pipe

The UOE mill features the most advanced technology and process, achieves high production efficiency, stable product quality and is equipped with complete inspection equipments. UOE mill adopts U & O forming, the formed pipes are welded inside through five internal welding stations with three wires, and welded outside through four external welding stations with three wires. In accordance with different requirements of the customers, the welded pipe can be expanded either by mechanical or hydrostatic expander to improve dimensional accuracy, and eliminate residual stress.
