SSAW Steel Pipe

SSAW steel pipe is manufactured through the spiral submerged arc welding process and is available in a wide range of diameters and lengths for pipeline, water transmission, piling, and structural projects.

Products can be supplied according to customer requirements and applicable international standards.

SSAW steel pipe can be supplied in accordance with various international standards depending on project requirements, service conditions, and end-use applications.

Applicable standards may vary based on pipe dimensions, steel grade, testing requirements, and customer specifications.

Available steel grades include API 5L Grade B, X42, X46, X52, X56, X60, X65, X70, and X80, ASTM A53 Grade A and Grade B, ASTM A252 Grade 1, Grade 2, and Grade 3, as well as equivalent grades under EN standards.

Grade availability may vary depending on pipe dimensions, wall thickness, and project specifications.

SSAW pipe is produced from hot-rolled steel coil through spiral forming and submerged arc welding.

During production, steel coil is continuously formed into a spiral shape and welded using an automatic double-sided submerged arc welding process. The spiral forming method enables large-diameter steel pipes to be manufactured from steel coil, making SSAW pipe a widely used solution for water transmission, pipeline transportation, and piling applications.

Q1: What is the difference between SSAW and LSAW pipe?

SSAW pipe is manufactured from steel coil through a spiral forming process, while LSAW pipe is produced from steel plate with a longitudinal weld seam. SSAW manufacturing allows large diameters to be produced from steel coil, whereas LSAW pipe is typically selected for applications requiring thicker wall sections and tighter dimensional tolerances.

Q2: How do I choose between SSAW and LSAW pipe for my project?

In general, SSAW pipe is commonly selected for large-diameter water transmission, piling, and infrastructure projects, while LSAW pipe is often specified when thicker wall sections, higher pressure ratings, or tighter dimensional tolerances are required. The final selection should be based on project specifications and operating conditions.

Q3: Can SSAW steel pipe be supplied with anti-corrosion coatings?

Yes. SSAW steel pipes can be supplied with various coating systems, including FBE, 3LPE, 3LPP, and other coatings according to project requirements.

Q4: Is third-party inspection available?

Yes. Third-party inspection can be arranged according to project requirements. Inspection agencies may witness production, testing, and final inspection before shipment.

Q5: What information is required for quotation?

To provide an accurate quotation, please provide pipe size, wall thickness, steel grade, standard, quantity, coating requirement, and delivery destination.

Q6: What is the maximum diameter available for SSAW pipe?

SSAW pipe can be manufactured in diameters up to 3620 mm, depending on project requirements and production specifications.
