SSAW Steel Pipe

SSAW (Spiral Submerged Arc Welded) steel pipe is manufactured by continuously forming hot-rolled steel coil into a spiral shape and welding the seam using the submerged arc welding process.

The spiral forming method enables the production of large-diameter steel pipes with efficient material utilization, making SSAW pipe a widely used solution for pipeline transportation, water transmission, piling, and infrastructure projects.

Production Process

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.

FAQs

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.
