Reasons for the wide range of application of LSAW pipes

The reason why LSAW steel pipe is widely used in the market is due to its own unique characteristics. The relatively low cost of the process used in the welding process and the fact that straight seam steel pipes can be manufactured using the fabrication processes of forging steel, extrusion, rolling and drawing steel, and that their specifications are relatively defined, offer the possibility of wide application.

 LSAW steel pipe refers to steel pipes with weld seams parallel to the longitudinal direction of the pipe, and is mainly used in many fields such as waterworks, petrochemical industry, chemical industry, electric power industry, agricultural irrigation, and urban construction. Although this material is not common in daily life, it is inextricably linked to our lives. For example, drainage, water supply, transportation of gas, steam, liquefied petroleum gas and so on, all of these can not be separated from the help of straight seam steel pipe.

 With the continuous expansion of the application of LSAW steel pipe, in addition to oil and gas long-distance pipeline, but also gradually to the marine platform, offshore floating crane and other marine structures. Submerged arc welded pipe as a marine structural pipe has obvious advantages, such as uniform wall thickness, simple process, performance by the pipe making process has less impact, easy to realize the requirements of high strength, high toughness, and its specifications are flexible to meet the requirements of different pipe diameters. This feature makes the submerged arc welded pipe play an important role in many fields, and become one of the important areas of LSAW pipe application.
