Spiral welded pipe is mainly used in tap water engineering, petrochemical industry, chemical industry, power industry, agricultural irrigation and urban construction in China. For liquid transportation: water supply and drainage. For gas transportation: coal gas, steam, liquefied petroleum gas. For structure: as piling pipe, as bridge; dock, road, building structure pipe, etc.

1. Advantages of spiral welded pipes

(1) The same width of strip steel can be used to produce steel pipes of different diameters, especially narrow strip steel can be used to produce large diameter steel pipes.

(2) Under the same pressure conditions, the stress borne by the spiral weld is smaller than that of the straight weld, which is 75%~90% of that of the straight weld pipe, so it can withstand greater pressure. Compared with the straight weld pipe of the same outer diameter, the wall thickness can be reduced by 10%~25% under the same pressure.

(3) The dimensions are precise, the general diameter tolerance does not exceed 0.12%, the deflection is less than 112000, and the ovality is less than 1%. Generally, the sizing and straightening processes can be omitted. (4) Continuous production is possible. In theory, unlimited long steel pipes can be produced, and the loss of cutting heads and tails is small, which can increase the metal utilization rate by 6%~8%. (5) Compared with straight welded pipes, it is flexible to operate and easy to change varieties and adjust.

(6) The equipment is light in weight and has low initial investment. It can be made into a trailer-type mobile unit to produce welded pipes directly at the construction site where the pipeline is laid.

(7) It is easy to realize mechanization and automation.

Since the rolled strip steel is used as the raw material, there is a certain crescent bend, and the welding point is at the edge of the elastic strip steel, so it is not easy to align the welding torch, which affects the welding quality.

For this reason, complex weld tracking and quality inspection equipment should be set up.

1. High strength: Spiral welded pipes are made of high-strength steel, with high bending resistance, compression resistance and strength, and can withstand large external forces and pressures. 

2. Corrosion resistance: The surface of spiral welded pipes is galvanized or sprayed, which can effectively prevent oxidation and corrosion, extend the service life of the pipeline, and greatly reduce the frequency of maintenance and replacement. 

3. Convenient installation: Spiral welded pipes are made of spiral welding technology, with firm joints, convenient and quick installation, and do not require a large number of accessories and connectors. This reduces installation costs and improves work efficiency.

4. Diverse specifications: Spiral welded pipes can be customized according to user needs, different specifications and sizes, suppliers can process according to customer needs, and provide various accessories and joints to meet the needs of different projects and use environments.

5. Wide range of applications: Spiral welded pipes are widely used in oil, natural gas, chemical industry, construction, aerospace, electricity, heating, and municipal engineering. Spiral welded pipes have good material properties and can meet the needs of different industries and fields.

6. Convenient construction: Spiral welded pipes have high pressure bearing and corrosion resistance, and are suitable for various environmental conditions, such as soil, water, high temperature, low temperature, etc. During the construction process, they can adapt to various terrains and are more convenient for construction.
