Welded Pipe Manufacturing Process

  • Malleable Fittings

Welded pipe is manufactured from plates or continuous coils or strips. To manufacture a welded pipe, the first plate or coil is rolled into a circular cross section with the help of a plate coiler or in a continuous process by means of rollers.

Once the circular section is rolled off the plate, the pipe can be welded with or without filler material. Large sizes of welded pipes can be manufactured without any upper limit. Welded pipes with filler material can be used to manufacture long radius elbows and bends.

Compared to seamless pipes, welded pipes are cheaper and weaker due to the weld seam

There are different welding methods for welding pipes.

►ERW- resistance welding

►EFW-Electrofusion welding

►HFW-High Frequency Welding

►SAW-Submerged arc welding (long seam and spiral seam)

 

ERW steel pipe manufacturing process

In the ERW / EFW / HFW pipe process, the first plate is formed into a cylindrical shape and the longitudinal edges of the formed cylindrical shape are welded by flash welding, low frequency resistance welding, high frequency induction welding or high frequency welding high frequency resistance welding.

 

SAW pipe manufacturing process

In the SAW welding process, an external filler metal (welding wire) is used to join the formed plates.SAW tubes can have a single longitudinal seam or a double longitudinal seam, depending on the size of the tube.

SAW tubing is also available in spiral seams, which are continuously rolled from a single sheet coil. Spiral SAW pipe has a very high productivity compared to straight SAW pipe. However, spiral SAW pipe is only used for low pressure services such as water, non-critical process services, etc.

Aluminum Sheet: A Versatile Material for Various Applications

图片
Aluminum sheet   is a flat, thin piece of aluminum that is produced through various manufacturing processes such as rolling or extrusion. It is available in different thicknesses, widths, and lengths to suit different application requirements. Aluminum sheets are widely used in industries that demand lightweight, durable, and corrosion-resistant materials. Properties of Aluminum Sheet Aluminum sheet exhibits several desirable properties that contribute to its popularity: Lightweight: Aluminum is known for its low density, making aluminum sheet significantly lighter than many other metals. This property is particularly advantageous in applications where weight reduction is crucial, such as transportation vehicles. Corrosion Resistance: Aluminum has a natural oxide layer that forms on its surface, providing excellent corrosion resistance. This makes aluminum sheet highly resistant to rust and other forms of corrosion, ensuring its longevity and durability. High Strength: Although aluminu

What is Stone Coated Metal Roofing Tile? Stone Coated Metal Roofing Tiles  combine the timeless appeal of traditional roofing materials with the unbeatable strength of metal. Designed to emulate the appearance of classic roofing options such as wood shakes, clay tiles, and asphalt shingles, these tiles are created by bonding natural stone granules to a galvanized steel core. The result? A roofing solution that possesses the elegance of natural materials and the resilience of metal. The Key Benefits that Propel Stone Coated Metal Roofing Tiles Ahead 1. Exceptional Durability One of the primary advantages of Stone Coated Metal Roofing Tiles is their exceptional durability. These tiles are engineered to withstand the harshest of weather conditions, from scorching summers to freezing winters. Unlike traditional roofing materials that can degrade over time, stone coated metal tiles maintain their structural integrity, ensuring that your investment stands the test of time. 2. Impenetrable Pr
