Spiral Welded Steel Pipe (SSAW) Introduction
1. Product Definition
Spiral welded steel pipe is a type of welded steel pipe made from steel strip coils. The strip is helically coiled under normal temperature and welded using double-sided submerged arc welding (SAW). The weld seam is spiral-shaped, making the pipe suitable for various pressure transmission and structural applications.
2. Product Features
Wide Range of Diameters: Suitable for producing large-diameter pipes using relatively narrow strip steel.
High Strength and Pressure Resistance: The spiral seam distributes stress evenly.
Cost-Effective: More economical than longitudinal welded pipes for large diameters.
Good Welding Performance: Automatic double-sided SAW ensures stable welding quality.
Custom Lengths Available: Pipes can be cut to specific lengths as required.
