longitudinal welded pipes are a practical, cost-efficient solution for a wide range of industrial, structural, and utility applications, valued for their simplicity in manufacturing and consistent performance under moderate conditions.
Longitudinal Welded Pipe features a straight seam parallel to the pipe axis, categorized into:
LSAW (Longitudinal Submerged Arc Welded):
Formed by bending steel plates with SAW welding, ideal for high-pressure pipelines (OD: 355.6–2320mm, WT: 4.8–50mm)
ERW (Electric Resistance Welded):
High-frequency welded strips for precision tubing (OD ≤24", WT ≤12mm), cost-effective for mass production
Energy Sector:
LSAW pipes in oil/gas transmission (e.g., X70 steel for 10 MPa service)
Construction:
LSAW for piling (ASTM A252); ERW square tubes for structural frames
Industrial Fluids:
ERW pipes in water supply networks (galvanized surface, ≤4.8 MPa)
Standards: API 5L PSL2 (SSC testing), ASTM A53 (ERW mechanical properties)
QA Tests: Hydrostatic pressure, UT/RT weld inspection, and flattening tests
