seamless steel pipe manufacturing process

A cylindrical steel bar is used to produce SMLS pipe. After heating the bar to a high temperature, a probe is put into the cylinder to produce a hole. The cylinder is then moved to rollers that shape it to the required diameter and wall thickness.

Advantages of Seamless steel Pipe

The condition of seamless steel pipes is crucial in many fields. This is especially true in applications that demand top quality, performance, and safety. Many engineers and manufacturers choose this material. It has special benefits and can be used in many ways. Here are its main advantages:

Uniform Shape

Seamless steel pipes are usually more exact in size. They are also more stable in shape than welded steel pipes.

High Strength

Seamless steel pipes have a uniform structure. They have high compressive strength because they have no welds.

Corrosion Resistance

Seamless steel pipes have a uniform surface. They lack irregularities found in welded seams. This reduces the chance of corrosion.

Extreme Temperature

Seamless steel pipes are made without welding. So they can handle extreme temperatures and are less likely to crack. 

Seamless Vs. Welded Pipe

Seamless pipes are made from high-quality steel. It is cast into a round shape and then pierced at the center. Then, it goes through rolling and heat treatment. After that, it is cut into different sizes based on the need. These pipes are devoid of any welding joint, which enhances their structural integrity. Seamless pipes are durable. They can handle high heat and pressure. They also resist corrosion. They have uniform properties throughout their length, making them better than welded pipes.

Seamless Pipe

  • Expensive
  • No welded joints in the pipes
  • Made of solid round billets or steel
  • Outer diameter varies between 1/8 Inch and 26-inch
  • Can bear high-pressure
  • Thickness tolerance is unstable.

Welded Pipe

  • Cheaper option compared to seamless pipes
  • May have one or more welded joints
  • The main raw material is steel coils.
  • Outer diameter varies between 2-3/8 Inch and 24-inch
  • Can’t withstand high pressure
  • Thickness tolerance is moderately precise.
  • Length tolerance is moderately precise.

What is Seamless Steel Pipe?

A seamless steel pipe is perforated from a round surface and has no welds on its surface. They come in various types. The type depends on how they are made. They include cold-drawn, cold-rolled, hot-rolled, and extruded seamless steel pipes.

The making of seamless steel pipes starts with billet production. This is a solid, cylindrical steel bar. They’re produced through continuous rolling of steel. The billets are then heated to soften the steel at high temperatures. They are pierced at the center with a mandrel mill or piercing mill.

It creates a hollow shell, leading to the formation of the pipe. The diameter of this piercing billet is further reduced by rolling and stretching it. This hollow shell goes through a sizing mill. The mill ensures its size matches the specifications. The pipe is then cooled to stabilize its structure. If needed, it gets more surface treatment to prevent rust.

These pipes are widely used in engineering and manufacturing industries. These pipes are used in large amounts to move water, oil, and natural gas. They are also used to make ring parts. Their smooth interior surface reduces friction for fluid flow.

They are corrosion-resistant, so they last a long time. More importantly, they’ve a uniform structure throughout, making them reliable.

FAQs about Seamless Steel Pipe

UNIASEN is China’s top seamless carbon steel pipe manufacturer and exporter. Our seamless steel pipe products are produced from raw materials from high-quality carbon steel. We will buy from China’s top raw material suppliers. They will meet your standards and steel grade requirements. For example, Baogang, Shougang, HBIS, etc.

UNIASEN is a Chinese carbon steel pipe supplier. We have over 20 years of experience and a full-service system. If you have a problem with your product, we will send one of our experts to you.

Seamless steel pipes are usually better than welded steel pipes. They have several advantages, such as:

  1. No welds: Seamless steel pipes are made from one piece of steel billet, without any welds. This avoids welds that might happen during welding. By eliminating potential weaknesses from welding, the pipe becomes stronger overall.
  2. Higher compressive strength: Seamless steel pipes have higher strength. They lack welds, so their structure is more even. This gives them higher compressive strength. This makes seamless steel pipes more suitable in high-pressure and high-temperature environments.
  3. Better corrosion resistance: Seamless steel pipes have a smooth surface, reducing the chance of corrosion. The welds are even. Seamless steel pipes are more reliable in applications that need corrosion resistance.
  4. Suitable for high and low-temperature environments: Seamless steel pipes are good for high and low-temperature environments. They don’t crack easily.
  5. Precise dimensions and stable shape: Seamless steel pipes are usually more precise in size and more stable in shape than welded ones. This is better for bigger applications, like making precision machinery and equipment.

When choosing a seamless steel pipe specification for a project, multiple factors are considered. Here are some guiding steps and considerations:

1. Understand project requirements:

Figure out why the pipe is used: for carrying liquids, gases, or for building structures.

2. Consider the work environment:

Think about the environmental conditions for the pipeline, like temperature, pressure, and chemicals. Special seamless steel pipes may be needed in certain conditions. These include extreme heat, pressure, or corrosive surroundings.

3. Check out relevant standards:

To find out the specifications and performance requirements for seamless steel pipe in specific applications, you can refer to international, national, or industry standards. Common standards include ASTM, API, DIN, etc.

4. Determine pipe size:

To meet engineering specifications, find the size of the seamless steel pipe: outer diameter, wall thickness, and length. These dimensions should meet the flow requirements and structural design of the project.

5. Consider corrosion resistance:

Choose stainless steel or other corrosion-resistant alloys if the media will corrode the pipe.

6. Pay attention to compressive strength:

Compressive strength is generally affected by pipe material and wall thickness.

7. Follow the project budget:

Ensure the specifications of the seamless steel pipe you choose fit within the project budget. The prices of seamless steel pipes of different specifications and materials may vary greatly.

8. Consider maintainability:

When choosing steel pipes for a pipeline, consider maintenance requirements. Choose easy-to-maintain seamless pipes. This helps reduce maintenance costs in the future.

9. Comply with regulations and safety standards:
