More information about Quality standard of seamless steel pipe
Of harmful chemical elements As Sn Sb Bi content of Pb and gas N H O proposed requirements, in order to improve the uniformity of the chemical composition in steel and steel purity, reduce the non-metallic inclusion and improve the distribution of tube billet, often by refining outside the furnace equipment to refining of molten steel, and even of the billet by electroslag furnace re-melting refining.
2, size precision and shape
Seamless steel pipe geometry includes steel pipe's outer diameter, wall thickness, ovality, length, bending, tube end cut slope, slope Angle and a blunt edge, straight steel tube cross-section size, etc.
3, the surface quality
"The standard stipulated in the seamless steel tube surface is bright and clean" requirements. Common defects are: crack, hairline, folding, folding and rolling, straight, straight, abscission, convex hull, hemp pit, pit, buckle (pitted), scratch (bruises), inner spiral, spiral way, the green line, JiaoAo, roller, etc. These cracks, folds, folding and rolling, abscission, scarring, indentation, convex hull allelic dangerous defects; Steel of the pits and the green line, bruises, mild straight, slightly inside and outside the spiral, inside and outside for general defects JiaoAo and roller.
4, physical and chemical properties
Including room temperature mechanical properties and mechanical properties under a certain temperature (thermal properties and low temperature properties) and corrosion resistance, such as oxidation resistance, erosion resistance, resistance to acid and alkali etc.) usually depends on the chemical composition of steel, organizational performance and purity of steel and steel heat treatment ways and so on. In some cases, steel pipe rolling temperature and deformation degree will also affect the performance of the steel pipe.
5, process performance, including the steel tube flaring, flattening, edge, bending, ring and welding performance.
6, metallographic organization, including the steel tube of low power and high power organizations.
7, special requirements, when the user use steel pipe outside the standard request.
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.
