A: "Straight-seam steel pipes are primarily manufactured using two processes: high-frequency resistance welding (ERW) and submerged arc welding (LSAW): 1. ERW process: Steel plates are rolled into tubes by a forming line, and a high-frequency current is used to heat and fuse the weld seam.
2. LSAW process: Steel plates are pre-bent before welding, and submerged arc welding is used to weld both the inner and outer surfaces.
Both processes require strict control over forming accuracy and weld quality."

A: The key technologies for high-frequency resistance welding (ERW) of straight-seam steel pipes are the optimization of high-frequency welding parameters and control of weld uniformity; for submerged arc welding (LSAW), the key technologies are welding process stability, non-destructive testing of welds, and the pipe expansion process.

A: Quality control for straight-seam steel pipes primarily focuses on three aspects: raw materials, production processes, and inspection methods. First, high-quality steel plates or coils are selected, and their chemical composition and mechanical properties are rigorously tested to ensure compliance with standards. During production, high-frequency welding (ERW) or submerged arc welding (LSAW) technologies are employed. Welding parameters are optimized to ensure weld quality, and heat treatment is performed as necessary to relieve residual stresses. Additionally, methods such as ultrasonic testing, radiographic testing, magnetic particle testing, and hydrostatic testing are used to ensure the steel pipes are free of defects such as cracks, porosity, and slag inclusions. At the same time, an automated measurement system is used to inspect the steel pipes' diameter, wall thickness, length, and ovality, guaranteeing dimensional accuracy.

A: "Non-destructive testing of welds in longitudinally welded steel pipes is a critical step in ensuring product quality. Common testing methods include ultrasonic testing (UT), radiographic testing (RT), magnetic particle testing (MT), and penetrant testing (PT).
Ultrasonic Testing (UT) is suitable for detecting internal defects in welds, such as lack of fusion, slag inclusions, or porosity. It uses high-frequency ultrasonic waves to penetrate the metal and analyzes the echo signals to determine the location and size of defects. This method is characterized by its deep penetration and high sensitivity, and is widely used for both in-line and off-line inspection of straight-seam steel pipes.
Radiographic Testing (RT) uses X-rays or gamma rays to penetrate the weld, forming an image on film or digital imaging equipment to identify internal defects. This method clearly displays defects such as porosity, slag inclusions, and lack of fusion, and is suitable for pipelines with high requirements, such as oil and gas transmission lines; however, it is relatively costly and has lower inspection efficiency.
Magnetic Particle Testing (MT) is primarily used to detect surface and near-surface defects in welds, such as cracks or lack of fusion, and is particularly effective for ferromagnetic materials. Under the influence of a magnetic field, magnetic particles gather at defect locations, forming a visible indication pattern, making this method suitable for preliminary weld inspection.
Penetrant Testing (PT) is suitable for detecting surface defects in welds of non-ferromagnetic materials. It works by allowing a penetrant to infiltrate microscopic cracks, which are then visualized using a developer. This method is simple to perform but is limited to surface defect detection.
For straight-seam steel pipes with high quality requirements, multiple non-destructive testing methods are typically combined-such as the combined use of ultrasonic testing and radiographic testing-to ensure that weld quality complies with international standards such as API 5L, GB/T 30063, GB/T 3091, and EN 10217, thereby enhancing product safety and reliability."

A: During the production of high-frequency welded pipes, product quality is ensured through strict process control and quality inspections. First, at the raw material stage, high-quality steel coils that meet standards must be selected, and chemical composition analysis and surface inspections must be conducted. During the forming stage, the bending and seam alignment of the steel strip must be precisely controlled to prevent welding defects. During the welding process, high-frequency current, welding speed, and extrusion force are optimized to ensure uniform welds free of inclusions and lack of fusion. After welding, burrs are removed from the welds, followed by cooling, sizing, and straightening to guarantee dimensional accuracy and surface quality of the pipes. At the same time, non-destructive and mechanical testing methods-such as ultrasonic testing, eddy current testing, tensile testing, impact testing, and hydrostatic testing-are employed to ensure that the weld strength and leak tightness meet standards. Finally, before packaging and shipment, the products undergo a visual inspection to ensure they are free of cracks, dents, or other defects, thereby guaranteeing the reliability of the final delivered product.

Common quality inspection standards include GB/T 3091, which applies to general-purpose welded steel pipes and specifies quality requirements such as mechanical properties, chemical composition, dimensional tolerances, and appearance; API 5L, which applies to pipelines for oil and natural gas transportation and primarily targets the application of high-frequency welded steel pipes in the oil and gas industry, requiring high compressive strength and corrosion resistance; ASTM A500, a standard for cold-formed welded steel pipes widely used in building structures and the machinery industry; EN 10219, a European standard applicable to cold-formed welded steel pipes used in structural and mechanical equipment applications; and the GOST and BPS standards, which apply to relevant steel pipe products in Russia and the Philippines, respectively, and specify quality requirements and testing methods. These standards cover requirements for the mechanical properties, chemical composition, dimensional tolerances, surface quality, and weld quality of steel pipes.

A: The weld strength of high-frequency steel pipes primarily depends on the welding process and the quality of the welding materials. High-frequency welds generally have high strength, meeting the requirements of most general applications and are suitable for low- to medium-pressure piping systems. However, weld strength can still be affected by factors such as welding temperature, speed, and material composition. Therefore, the quality of the weld zone is critical, and stable temperature and pressure must be maintained during the welding process to prevent weld defects.

A: The weld strength of high-frequency welded steel pipes is typically tested using non-destructive testing methods, such as X-ray inspection, ultrasonic testing, and magnetic particle testing. These methods can effectively detect defects in the weld, such as porosity, cracks, and slag inclusions, ensuring that the weld strength meets design requirements. For applications with particularly stringent requirements, it may also be necessary to verify the mechanical properties of the weld using methods such as tensile testing, hardness testing, and impact testing to ensure compliance with relevant standards and safety requirements.

A: Quality standards for double-sided submerged arc welded steel pipes include multiple national and international standards to ensure that their production and use meet requirements for safety, strength, and corrosion resistance. Common quality standards include GB/T 9711, which is China's primary standard applicable to steel pipes for oil and gas transmission; it specifies technical requirements, inspection methods, and testing procedures; API 5L is an international standard widely used in the oil and gas industry; it specifies quality requirements for steel pipes used in oil and gas transportation, ensuring their pressure-bearing capacity and corrosion resistance; ISO 3183 is an international standard similar to API 5L, applicable to steel pipes for oil and gas pipelines, covering welding, mechanical properties of materials, and dimensional requirements; ASTM A252 is a U.S. standard applicable to submerged arc welded steel pipes used for foundation piles, particularly for deep foundation structures; EN 10219 is a European standard applicable to cold-formed welded steel pipes for structural use, suitable for projects such as bridges and buildings; GOST is a Russian standard applicable to submerged-arc welded steel pipes for oil and gas transmission, specifying requirements for materials and welding processes. These standards ensure that double-sided submerged-arc welded steel pipes meet the corresponding performance requirements in various application scenarios and guarantee the safety and stability of pipelines through strict quality control.

A: The welds of double-sided submerged arc welded steel pipes can be inspected using various non-destructive testing methods to ensure their quality and reliability. Commonly used non-destructive testing methods include radiographic testing (X-ray or gamma ray), ultrasonic testing, magnetic particle testing, and penetrant testing. Radiographic testing uses high-energy radiation to penetrate the weld and form an image, which is used to detect internal defects such as porosity and cracks. Ultrasonic testing emits ultrasonic waves to detect defects in the weld, enabling in-depth inspection of issues within the material. Magnetic particle testing is primarily used to inspect surface and near-surface defects in welds and is suitable for magnetic materials. Penetrant testing is suitable for inspecting surface cracks or microscopic defects, revealing the location and size of surface defects. These methods can be selected based on specific requirements, and through high-precision inspection techniques, they guarantee the weld quality of double-sided submerged arc welded steel pipes, ensuring their safety and durability.

A: Different quality grades should be selected based on the following principles: the importance of the structure, load characteristics, weld type, operating environment, and stress conditions. In components requiring fatigue analysis, all butt welds must be fully welded, and their quality grades are as follows: Perpendicular to the length of the weld, butt welds or T-joint fillet welds are classified as Grade 2 under compression and Grade 1 under tension; if the longitudinal force is parallel to the length of the weld, butt welds shall be Grade 2. Butt welds required to have the same strength as the base metal must be fully penetrated. In components where fatigue calculations are not required, the quality grade shall be no lower than Grade 2 under tension and no lower than Grade 1 under compression. T-joint welds between the web and L-flanges of crane beams, as well as between the upper chords of crane legs and node plates, in systems with heavy operational loads and a lifting capacity Q ≥ 50 t, must be fully penetrated. These welds are generally combination welds of fillet and butt joints, and their quality must not be lower than Grade II. 4. For fillet welds in "I"-shaped joints where full penetration is not required, or for combination welds consisting of partially penetrated butt joints and fillet welds, as well as fillet welds in lap joints, the quality grades are as follows: For structures directly subjected to dynamic loads and crane beams with a lifting capacity of 50 t or more, the quality standard for such welds shall meet Grade 2. Visual inspection is generally performed by visual examination; crack inspection shall be conducted using a 5x magnifying glass under appropriate lighting conditions. Where necessary, magnetic particle testing or penetrant testing may be used; dimensional measurements shall be taken using measuring instruments and calipers. The visual quality of welds shall meet the following requirements: there shall be no defects such as lack of fusion, root shrinkage, undercut, or poor joint formation; Grade 1 and Grade 2 welds shall be free of surface slag inclusions, porosity, arc scuffing, and cracks.

A: Huayang Steel Pipe primarily manufactures carbon steel pipes.

A: Huayang Steel Pipe offers custom cutting services. We have plasma cutting and beveling machines to process the pipes according to your drawings, so they are ready for immediate use on the construction site.

A: The specifications for straight-seam steel pipes are primarily classified by outer diameter, wall thickness, and length. Common standards include the Chinese National Standard GB/T 3091 (low-pressure fluid conveyance), GB/T 9711 (oil and gas transportation), API 5L (American standard for oil pipelines), and others. Common outer diameters range from Φ76 mm to 1422 mm, with wall thicknesses ranging from 2 mm to 50 mm. Standard lengths are typically 6 m or 12 m, though custom lengths can be produced upon request.

A: Huayang Steel Pipe can produce longitudinally welded steel pipes with the following wall thickness and diameter ranges: outer diameters from 73 to 1422 mm and wall thicknesses from 2.5 to 50 mm, with specifications varying as needed. These pipes can be manufactured to meet different requirements.

A: "The common length standards for straight-seam steel pipes generally fall into two categories: fixed-length and non-fixed-length. Non-fixed-length pipes typically range from 6 m to 12 m, with the specific range determined by production processes and transportation requirements.
Fixed-length: Can be customized according to customer needs, such as 6 m, 9 m, 12 m, 18 m, etc., with a maximum length of 24 m.
Multiplier-length: Supplied as integer multiples of the fixed length, with an allowance for cutting reserved in between. Specific length standards must comply with national standards, such as GB/T 3091 and GB/T 30063, or be implemented according to specific requirements."

A: The main differences between straight-seam steel pipes and seamless steel pipes lie in their manufacturing processes, structural characteristics, and application scenarios. Straight-seam steel pipes are made by forming steel plates or steel strips and welding them along a straight line; they have visible weld seams and are suitable for applications such as low- and medium-pressure fluid conveyance and building structures. Seamless steel pipes, on the other hand, are manufactured through piercing followed by hot rolling or cold drawing; they have no weld seams and feature a more uniform overall structure, making them widely used in high-pressure, high-temperature, and critical engineering applications.

A: The advantages of straight-seam steel pipes include a relatively simple production process, lower costs, high dimensional accuracy, and suitability for mass production; they offer particularly significant advantages in large-diameter pipeline projects. However, the weld seam can be a weak point, requiring high-quality welding, and their resistance to pressure and cracking is slightly inferior to that of seamless steel pipes. The advantages of seamless steel pipes lie in their weld-free structure, high overall strength, and superior resistance to high temperatures and pressures, enabling them to withstand more complex operating conditions. However, the manufacturing process is complex, production costs are higher, dimensional tolerances are limited, and producing large-diameter products is relatively difficult. In terms of applications, straight-seam steel pipes are commonly used in construction, oil and gas transportation, and steel structures, while seamless steel pipes are more widely used in fields with high-standard requirements, such as high-pressure boilers, nuclear power, and aerospace.

A: The surface treatment methods for high-frequency welded pipes mainly include acid washing, sandblasting, phosphating, painting and heat treatment.
Acid washing uses an acidic solution to remove the oxide scale and impurities on the surface of the pipe, improving the surface quality.
Sandblasting uses high-speed jetting of sand particles to impact the surface of the pipe, achieving cleaning and roughening effects, which is conducive to the adhesion of subsequent coatings.
Phosphating forms a layer of phosphate salt on the surface of the pipe, enhancing its corrosion resistance.
Painting coats an anti-corrosion coating on the surface of the pipe, providing an additional protective layer to prevent corrosion caused by environmental factors.
Heat treatment, such as high-frequency quenching, uses high-frequency current to heat the surface of the pipe, increasing its hardness and improving wear resistance and service life.
The choice of appropriate surface treatment method depends on the specific application of the pipe and the required performance.

A: The high-frequency welded pipe is a spiral welded pipe made from steel strip coils. It is generally formed under high temperature through extrusion and is welded using an automatic double-line front and back arc welding process. The steel strip is sent into the pipe manufacturing unit, and it is cold rolled and slowly rolled by several rolls to form a round precision-welded pipe with an open gap. The reduction amount of the extrusion forming rolls is adjusted to carry out the arc welding. If the gap is large, the proximity effect will decrease, the vortex heat will be insufficient, and the welded crystals cannot be well fused, resulting in incomplete fusion or cracking. If the gap is small, the proximity effect will increase, and the welding heat value of the arc welding will be too large, causing the weld seam to ignite or the weld seam to be formed by cold rolling with pits, affecting the process performance of the weld seam. After the two edges of the precision-welded pipe are heated to the welding temperature of the arc welding, under the compression of the rolling rolls, the metal particles of the two sides penetrate each other's crystals, forming a firm weld. If the extrusion pressure of the high-frequency welded pipe is very small, the total number of crystals will be very few, and the compressive strength of the weld metal will decrease, resulting in cracks after compression. If the extrusion pressure is too high, the molten metal will be squeezed into the weld seam, not only reducing the compressive strength of the weld seam, but also causing a large number of internal and external vibration marks, resulting in repeated defects of the weld seam. During the entire forming process, the thick steel plate is uniform, the residual stress is small, and the surface is not scratched. After the high-frequency welded pipe is processed, it has a great coordination ability within the range of diameter and wall thickness specifications, especially for the production of high-quality thick-walled pipes, especially in small-diameter thick-walled pipes, it has advantages that no other processes can match, and can meet the large demand of customers for the specifications of high-frequency welded pipes. By using excellent front and back arc welding, the weld can be kept in a good position, and edge offset, weld error, incomplete weld seam, etc. will not occur. The weld quality is easy to control, and 100% product quality inspection is carried out on the high-frequency welded pipe. Reasonable inspection and network monitoring of the steel pipe production process are carried out, and reasonable quality assurance is ensured. The production line equipment has the function of connecting with the computer data acquisition system, which can quickly transmit data. This reflects the excellent performance of the high-frequency welded pipe.

A: Large-diameter thick-walled steel pipes usually refer to steel pipes with an outer diameter exceeding 219 millimeters and a wall thickness exceeding 10 millimeters. The specification range varies depending on different standards and production capacity. For example, the API 5L standard stipulates large-diameter thick-walled steel pipes suitable for oil and gas transportation, with an outer diameter of up to 1016 millimeters and a wall thickness of up to 50 millimeters.

A: The mechanical properties of large-diameter thick-walled steel pipes should possess high strength and good toughness to withstand high pressure and complex working environments. Specific mechanical property indicators, such as yield strength, tensile strength and impact toughness, need to refer to relevant standards and product technical specifications.

A: Large-diameter thick-walled steel pipes usually refer to steel pipes with an outer diameter exceeding 219 millimeters and a wall thickness exceeding 10 millimeters. The specific specification range varies depending on the production standards and manufacturing capabilities.

A: The compressive strength and tensile strength of large-diameter thick-walled steel pipes depend on the grade of the material used and its production process. Generally speaking, common low-alloy high-strength steel pipes such as API 5L X42, X46, X52, X60, X70, etc., have tensile strengths typically ranging from 500 to 700 MPa, and their compressive strengths are roughly equivalent to their tensile strengths. Specific values need to be determined based on the production standards of the steel pipes and the specific specifications of the materials.

A: "In the production process of large-diameter thick-walled steel pipes, controlling the uniformity of wall thickness is the key to ensuring the quality of the pipes. Firstly, during the production process, precise control of the heating temperature and rolling speed is necessary to ensure that the steel billet reaches a uniform temperature distribution before entering the rolling mill. During the rolling process, by adjusting the reduction amount of the rolling mill, the shape and gap of the rolls, the forming process of the steel pipe can be reasonably controlled, thereby ensuring the uniformity of the wall thickness of the pipe. For the hot expansion process, operators need to adjust the expansion equipment according to real-time data to avoid local wall thickness unevenness.
In addition, the uniformity of the wall thickness of the pipe needs to be monitored through an online detection system, which can detect the wall thickness of the pipe in real time and automatically adjust the production process based on the detection results. If there is an uneven wall thickness, the production line can automatically make adjustments to ensure that the wall thickness of each pipe meets the design standards. Finally, during the welding process, especially at the welding joint, precise welding control and post-weld heat treatment are also necessary to avoid wall thickness unevenness caused by welding stress, thereby ensuring the overall quality of the pipe."

A: The surface defects of large-diameter thick-walled steel pipes are usually repaired by methods such as grinding, polishing, sandblasting or coating. For minor surface defects, such as small scratches or pits, grinding and polishing can be used to restore the surface to be smooth and free of flaws. For more severe surface defects, such as deep cracks or depressions, local welding repair may be required, followed by grinding to make it smooth. Sandblasting is an effective way to remove surface oxide layers, rust and other contaminants, and also helps improve the surface roughness of the steel pipe, providing better adhesion for the coating. In some special applications, the surface of the steel pipe may also require coating treatment, such as anti-corrosion coating or high-temperature resistant coating, to enhance the corrosion resistance and durability of the steel pipe. Through these treatment methods, the surface of the steel pipe can meet the specified quality standards and extend its service life.

A: The specifications of submerged arc welded steel pipes usually include diameter, wall thickness and length. The diameter range is generally from 406mm to 1422mm, and the wall thickness range can be from 9mm to 50mm, which can be customized according to the requirements and design specifications. Submerged arc welded steel pipes can be divided into ordinary weld seam steel pipes and high-strength weld seam steel pipes according to different requirements, to meet the needs of different application scenarios.

A: The diameter range of submerged arc welded steel pipes is generally from 406mm to 1422mm, and the wall thickness range can vary from 9mm to 50mm. The specific range is determined based on requirements and design specifications.

A: The common specifications of straight seam welded pipes vary depending on the combination of diameter and wall thickness, and can meet the requirements of different application scenarios. For example, for a 219mm diameter pipe, the common wall thickness ranges from 5mm to 12mm, while for a 273mm diameter pipe, the wall thickness is usually between 6mm and 14mm. For larger diameter pipes, such as a 426mm diameter pipe, the wall thickness range is generally between 6mm and 18mm. For even larger pipes, such as a 530mm and 630mm diameter pipes, the wall thickness is usually between 8mm and 22mm. For pipes with larger diameters, such as 820mm, 1020mm and 1220mm, the common wall thickness is between 10mm and 25mm. For specific requirements, a 1420mm diameter pipe also has a wall thickness range of 12mm to 30mm. These specifications are widely used in various fields such as oil and gas pipelines, construction engineering, bridges and structural applications. Choosing the appropriate diameter and wall thickness requires reasonable configuration based on specific engineering requirements.

A: The weld strength of straight seam welded pipes depends on the welding process, welding materials, and welding quality. Generally speaking, the weld strength of straight seam welded pipes can be improved by controlling the welding process parameters (such as current, voltage, welding speed, etc.) and selecting appropriate welding materials. The strength of the weld is usually required to reach or exceed the strength of the base material to ensure that there will be no fracture or failure during use. For some critical applications, the weld strength may need to meet certain requirements such as tensile strength, compressive strength, and bending strength.

A: The surface defects of straight seam welded pipes may include weld porosity, slag inclusion, cracks, deviations, unevenness, etc. To handle these defects, different methods need to be adopted according to their nature and severity. For defects such as porosity and slag inclusion, they can be removed or repaired through grinding, polishing, welding repair, etc. If cracks appear on the weld surface, it is necessary to re-weld or remove the defective part and re-weld. For surface unevenness or large deviations, they can be restored to the standard state through straightening, polishing, etc. During the treatment process, the surface of the welded pipe needs to be cleaned, the oxide layer or oil and other impurities removed to ensure the quality of the repair. To avoid the occurrence of surface defects, the welding parameters, material selection, and welding environment should be strictly controlled during the production process, and the welding after treatment and quality control should be strengthened to ensure that the surface quality of the welded pipe meets the requirements of relevant standards.

A: The common specifications of high-frequency steel pipes usually cover different diameters and wall thickness ranges. The diameters generally range from 76 millimeters to 630 millimeters, and the wall thickness ranges typically are from 2.5 millimeters to 22 millimeters. According to market demand and specific applications, common specifications include 76mm, 89mm, 114mm, 159mm, 219mm, 273mm, 323mm, etc. The specific specifications can be customized according to customer requirements and equipment capabilities, and are suitable for various industrial pipeline systems, including construction, machinery, automotive, oil and gas, and other fields.

A: The surface defect treatment of high-frequency steel pipes usually includes several aspects: cleaning, repair and protection. Firstly, for the oxide scale, rust and impurities on the surface, they can be removed through chemical cleaning or mechanical polishing. This helps to improve the surface smoothness of the steel pipe and ensure good contact performance during welding. Secondly, for small surface defects, such as minor scratches, pits or welding marks, they can be repaired by grinding, polishing, etc., to ensure that the appearance of the steel pipe meets the requirements. For larger surface defects, such as cracks or severe welding defects, they may need to be cut and re-welded, or scrapped. Finally, to prevent the steel pipe surface from further corrosion or damage, anti-corrosion coating treatment is usually carried out, such as hot-dip galvanizing, spraying anti-corrosion coatings, etc. These treatment methods help to extend the service life of the steel pipe and ensure its good performance during operation.

A: The diameter and wall thickness ranges of double-sided submerged arc welded steel pipes are quite extensive, suitable for various application requirements. Generally speaking, the diameter range of double-sided submerged arc welded steel pipes is from 406 millimeters to 1422 millimeters, depending on the design requirements of the pipeline and the engineering application. For the wall thickness, the range is typically from 9 millimeters to 50 millimeters. For certain special applications, the wall thickness of the pipes can be even larger.

A: The surface treatment methods for double-sided submerged arc welded steel pipes include anti-corrosion treatment, acid washing, hot-dip galvanizing, electro-galvanizing, painting, and sandblasting treatment, etc. These treatment methods help improve the corrosion resistance and service life of the steel pipes. Anti-corrosion treatment is usually applied in oil and gas pipelines, where a protective coating is applied or a heat-melt tape is used to seal the surface of the steel pipes, effectively preventing the pipeline from being eroded by the external environment. Acid washing removes the oxides and impurities on the surface of the steel pipes through chemical methods, making the surface smoother and providing a better foundation for subsequent processing. Hot-dip galvanizing and electro-galvanizing form an anti-corrosion protection layer by coating the steel pipe surface with zinc, and are often used in places that need to resist environmental corrosion. Painting treatment increases the corrosion resistance and aesthetics of the steel pipe surface through coatings, and is commonly used in construction and mechanical industries. Sandblasting treatment uses high-pressure air to treat the surface of the steel pipe into a rough state, increasing adhesion, and is often used for anti-corrosion and decorative processing of steel pipes.

A: "The main methods for anti-corrosion treatment of hot-expanded steel pipes include cleaning, tool rust removal, acid washing, and jet rust removal. The surface anti-corrosion treatment of steel pipes can effectively extend the service life of the pipes. Different anti-corrosion treatment methods need to be selected based on the type, size, and processing cost of the pipes. Specifically, there are the following methods:
1. Cleaning: Mainly using cleaning agents such as emulsions, solvents, etc. for anti-corrosion treatment of steel pipes. During the cleaning process, substances such as oil stains and dust on the surface of the steel pipes can be easily removed, but substances such as oxides and rust on the surface of the steel pipes are difficult to be removed through cleaning. Therefore, cleaning and rust removal can only be used as an auxiliary method for general anti-corrosion of steel pipes.
2. Tool rust removal: Such as using steel wire brushes to scrub the surface of the steel pipes. However, if the degree of oxidation on the surface of the steel pipe is deep and the oxide scale is strongly adhered, the effect of steel wire brush rust removal will not be ideal, and tool rust removal cannot meet the required anchor texture degree for steel pipe construction.
3. Acid washing: Acid washing mainly includes two main methods: chemical acid washing and electrolytic acid washing. In the anti-corrosion treatment of steel pipes, chemical acid washing is applied to the anti-corrosion treatment of pipelines. Although the method of chemical acid washing can achieve a certain cleaning effect, the anchor texture on the steel pipe after acid washing will be relatively shallow, which cannot meet the construction standards of the steel pipe and the chemical substances produced by acid washing will cause certain pollution to the environment.
4. Spray (throw) rust removal: The operating principle of this method is to use a high-power electrical device to spray (throw) blades for high-speed rotation. Under the centrifugal force generated by the rotation, abrasive materials such as steel sand and steel balls are used to remove rust from the surface of the steel pipe. This method has a strong rust removal effect and can also make the steel pipe reach the required roughness degree as per the construction standards."

A: There are generally three types of coating materials for anti-corrosion steel pipes. One of them is solvent-free epoxy coating. The cured coating has anti-corrosion properties, hardness and density. It has a relatively appropriate service life and curing time. Besides having good insulation and chemical stability, it has also made great progress in adhesion, impact resistance and peel strength. During the construction process, there is no solvent evaporation, the film formation can reach more than 200 times, and there are no pinholes. To save energy and protect the environment, 3PE anti-corrosion steel pipes should be used. The characteristics of cold-rolled tape and E-type heat shrinkable tape are: Anti-corrosion steel pipes are suitable for various materials, and other methods are suitable for main anti-corrosion steel pipes of the same or similar materials. In China, there are multiple types of steel pipes such as petroleum asphalt, polyethylene jacket, polyethylene foam jacket, epoxy coal tar asphalt, coal tar asphalt enamel, epoxy powder and three-layer composite structure. Currently, the widely used pipeline anti-corrosion methods include three-layer PE composite structure and single-layer powder epoxy resin, as well as 3PE cold winding anti-corrosion steel pipes and 3PE anti-corrosion steel pipes. Cold-rolled tape has the characteristics of anti-corrosion, simple operation, good waterproof performance, low strength, and significant impact on the environment. The epoxy powder anti-corrosion uses electrostatic spraying method and is welded with the same material pipe body, with strong anti-corrosion ability and strong adhesion, but epoxy powder has poor water resistance and high water absorption rate, reaching 0.83%. It is not suitable to use epoxy powder anti-corrosion agent in water transmission pipeline construction because, in addition to poor water resistance, the on-site construction quality is also very high and difficult to control.

A: There are generally three types of coating materials for anti-corrosion steel pipes. One of them is solvent-free epoxy coating. The cured coating has anti-corrosion properties, hardness and density. It has a relatively appropriate service life and curing time. Besides having good insulation and chemical stability, it has also made great progress in adhesion, impact resistance and peel strength.

A: "Based on the quality and performance of steel, we have summarized the elements that affect the performance during steel production.
Carbon: The higher the carbon content, the higher the hardness of the steel, but the plasticity and toughness are poorer. Sulfur: It is a harmful impurity in steel. If the sulfur content in the steel is high, it is prone to become brittle at high temperatures, which is usually called thermal brittleness. Phosphorus: It can significantly reduce the plasticity and toughness of the steel, especially at low temperatures. This phenomenon is called cold brittleness. In high-quality steel, the control of sulfur and phosphorus should be strict. On the other hand, in low-carbon steel, high contents of sulfur and phosphorus can make it easier to machine, which is beneficial for improving the cutting performance of the steel. Manganese: It can increase the strength of the steel, weaken and eliminate the adverse effects of sulfur, and improve the quenchability of the steel. High alloy steel with high manganese content (high manganese steel) has good physical properties such as wear resistance. Silicon: It can increase the hardness of the steel, but the plasticity and toughness decrease. However, silicon can improve the soft magnetic property. Tungsten: It can improve the red hardness and heat strength of the steel, and improve the wear resistance of the steel. Chromium: It can increase the quenchability, wear resistance, corrosion resistance and oxidation resistance of the steel. Vanadium: It can refine the grain structure of the steel, increase the strength, toughness and wear resistance of the steel. When it melts into austenite at high temperatures, it can increase the quenchability of the steel. On the contrary, when it exists in the form of carbides, its quenchability will decrease. "

A: The unevenness of thick-walled steel pipes mainly manifests as spiral-shaped wall unevenness, linear-shaped wall thickness unevenness, and thicker or thinner wall thickness at the head and tail sections. 1. The causes of spiral-shaped thick-walled steel pipe unevenness are the incorrect centerline of the piercing machine during rolling, unequal inclination angles of the two rolls, or insufficient pre-downward pressure at the top of the punch, etc., which result in wall thickness unevenness. Generally, it is distributed in a spiral pattern along the entire length of the steel pipe. The main measure is to adjust the centerline of the piercing machine to make the inclination angles of the two rolls equal, and adjust the rolling machine according to the given parameters in the rolling table. 2. The reasons for linear-shaped wall thickness unevenness are the inappropriate adjustment of the height of the pre-piercing saddle of the mandrel, the mandrel pre-piercing contacting a certain surface of the tube, causing the temperature drop of the tube on the contact surface to be too fast, resulting in wall thickness unevenness or even pull-in defects. The continuous rolling roller gap is too small or too large. The centerline deviation of the rolling machine. Uneven pre-downward pressure in the single or double machine frame will cause linear symmetrical deviations of the steel pipe in the single machine frame direction (over-thin or over-thick) or in the double machine frame direction (over-thick or over-thin). The main measure is to adjust the height of the pre-piercing saddle of the mandrel properly and ensure the alignment of the mandrel and the tube. When changing the die type and rolling specifications, the roller gap should be measured to make the actual roller gap consistent with the rolling table. Use an optical centering device to adjust the rolling centerline. During annual major repairs, the centerline of the rolling machine must be corrected. 3. The reasons for uneven wall thickness at the head and tail sections are that the cutting skewness and bending degree of the tube billet are too large, and the centering hole of the tube billet is not correct, which can easily cause uneven wall thickness at the head of the steel pipe. The extension coefficient during piercing is too large, the roller speed is too high, and the rolling is unstable. The instability of the steel pipe piercing machine's steel throwing is prone to cause uneven wall thickness at the tail of the tube. The measures are to check the quality of the tube billet, prevent the cutting skewness and down pressure from being too large at the front end of the tube billet, and when changing the die type or maintaining, the centering hole should be corrected. Use a lower piercing speed to ensure the stability of the rolling and the uniformity of the tube wall thickness. After adjusting the roller speed, the matching guide plate should also be adjusted accordingly.
