SSAW Pipe Manufacture Technology

1-step production of SSAW welded pipes
The one-step method integrates the spiral forming and submerged arc welding of steel strips in a continuous production line, and the forming and welding are performed simultaneously.
2-step production of SSAW welded pipes
The 2-step method divides spiral forming and submerged arc welding into 2 independent stages, forming first and then welding.
Welded Pipe Anti-corrosion Process
The external anti-corrosion production line meets the coating needs of medium 219 to medium 1620m steel pipes, and the internal coating production line can carry out mechanized coating operations for φ406 to φ1620mm steel pipes. The workshop can carry out petroleum asphalt, coal tar enamel, single-layer epoxy powder, single-layer and double-layer fused epoxy powder (FBE), powder spraying and extrusion-wrapped polyethylene jacket (PE), double-layer polyethylene (2PE), 3-layer polyethylene (3PE) and 3-layer polypropylene (3PP), foam jacket anti-corrosion insulation structure and other steel pipe interior and exterior coating projects.
