This artical point the difference of erw and ssaw
Straight seam steel pipe and spiral steel pipe is a kind of welded steel pipe, they are widely used in the construction of national product, straight seam steel pipe and spiral steel pipe due to the different production process has many differences, therefore, the following specific issues about the difference between straight seam steel pipe and spiral steel pipe. Straight seam welded pipe production technology is relatively simple, the main production process with high frequency straight seam welded steel tubes and submerged arc welding and straight seam steel pipe, straight seam pipe production with high efficiency, low cost, rapid development. The strength of the spiral welded pipe is generally higher than straight seam welded pipe, the main production process is submerged arc welding, spiral steel pipe can use the same width of different diameter welded pipe billet production, can also use a narrower billet production of larger diameter welded pipe. But compared with the same length of straight seam pipe, weld length by 30 ~ 100%, and the production speed is low.
Difference of PSL1 and PSL2(API 5L)
The API 5L has two standards, PSL1 and PSL2, which are very different from each other. I'll talk more about the differences between PSL1 and PSL2.Production Process of Pipe Fitting
There are many kinds of processing methods for pipe fittings.The Future of Steel Pipe Development
The future of steel pipe development is looking promising, according to expert analysis and data. The price of carbon steel pipe is predicted to bounce back this year, with China leading the way in increasing steel consumption demands. This is due to a series of government initiatives aimed at stimulating domestic demand, including the construction of affordable housing and infrastructure projects. The demand for structural steel pipe is also on the rise, thanks to state investment in housing and engineering projects. With private investment projects also gaining popularity, the steel pipe market is set to thrive in 2017.
