LSAW Steel Pipe (Longitudinal Submerged Arc Welded Pipe) , DSAW Pipe, SAWL Pipe

LSAW (Longitudinal double submerge arc welding) steel pipe is also a type of welded pipe known for its straight seam construction. These pipes are made by bending steel sheets into cylindrical form and welded longitudinally along the length of the pipe. They’re used in infrastructure development, construction sites and for oil and gas transportation.

What is LSAW Pipe?

LSAW (SAWL) carbon steel pipes are fabricated by welding hot-rolled steel plates using the JCOE or UOE forming process.

LSAW (Longitudinal double submerge arc welding) is a welding method used for joining different pieces of metal. LSAW pipes are different from the pipes manufactured using other SAW processes in a way that it uses both AC and DC currents. The DC voltage is there to ensure that current flows in a closed path and its resultant effect is zero. This doesn’t let the current come in contact with metal. As a result, the quality of pipes remains unmatched. These pipes are also used in construction sites.

What is LSAW Pipe

UOE LSAW Pipe Manufacturing Process

The UOE method is used for the production of dimensionally precise LSAW pipes. The first step is to prepare steel plates, and shape them in ‘U’ form with the help of a U-press or cold rolling. The next step is to convert U-shaped plates into O-shape by curving the open ends inward. These O-shaped plates are then welded longitudinally for creating a smooth seam. After that, hydraulic or mechanical methods are used to expand the O-shaped pipes. This method is quite effective and has been in use for a long time.

JCOE LSAW Pipe Manufacturing Process

The JCOE pipe is a kind of special pipe that is manufactured by connecting two pipes into a J shape, bending them into a C shape, bending them into an O-shape, and then arc welding the abutting edges together. The JCOE pipe has the same function as ordinary pipes but with improved quality, better processability, and more convenient transportation. This creates an interior-facing square or rectangular channel for the wrapped forming core material and an exterior-facing curved surface. The body is expanded by high-pressure air cylinders to control dimensions.

LSAW Steel Pipe VS SSAW Steel Pipe

Both types of pipes use SAW technique. But their manufacturing methods are different, SSAW forms the plates into a spiral and then weld along the length to make spiral seam. While LSAW bends steel plates into cylindrical shape and then welds it. LSAW pipes are better to be used at construction sites due to their stiffness, while SSAW pipes are flexible due to their spiral shape. But both types of pipes have their own respective advantages and disadvantages.

LSAW Steel Pipe

  • LSAW pipes are quite expensive
  • Welded in longitudinal direction
  • Not much efficient
  • Outer diameter ranges between 16 Inch and 60 Inch
  • Mainly used for medium/high pressure applications
  • Thickness tolerance is moderately precise

SSAW Steel Pipe

  • SSAW pipes are cheaper compared to LSAW pipes
  • Welded in spiral direction
  • Highly efficient
  • Outer diameter ranges between 20 Inch and 100 Inch
  • Mainly used at construction sites
  • Thickness tolerance is moderately precise
  • Geometry accuracy is low
