Spiral Welded Carbon Steel Pipe is a type of pipe that is made from carbon steel and uses a different method of welding called Spiral Submerged Arc Welding (SSAW). This method involves forming the steel into a spiral shape before welding, which is where the name “spiral welded” comes from.
Spiral Welded Carbon Steel Pipes are particularly beneficial for long-distance fluid transmission due to their high strength and resistance to deformation. They’re often used in oil and gas transmission lines, water supply systems, construction piling, and certain types of structural applications.
The pipe’s diameter and wall thickness can be customised, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. However, compared to ERW and seamless steel pipes, the welding line of SSAW steel pipe is relatively longer and thus requires careful testing and inspection to ensure weld integrity.
