 SPIRAL WELDED STEEL PIPES
INTRODUCTION
Pipes
• are produced by steel strip forming to pipe shape and followed by
automatic double-side submerged arc welding (S.A.W.)
• are delivered in compliance with DIN, API, EN Standards respectively
by other mutually agreed standards or technical conditons
• are manufactured in the range of outside nominal diameters from 406 to
1420 mm and the wall thickness from 5.0 to 12.5 mm, in the lengths
8 to 18 m or in exact lengths with tolerances corresponding to appropriate
standards. Deliveries of cut-to-lengths pipes lengths from 1.5 to 8 m are
also possible in accordance with special agreements
• are produced from low carbon as well as microalloyed steels with
guaranteed weldability
• are carefully tested using non-destructive methods (X-ray, ultrasonic); high
quality and reliability of delivered pipes are guaranteed.
Quality control system
• according to EN ISO 9001:2000 Standard and EN ISO 14 001 Standard
by RW TÜV company
• according to API Spec. 5L Standard by American Petroleum Institute.
Producer of pipes has a licence for using of logo API issued with number 5L-0317.
• according to B mark by Zetom Katowice company
Testing
• If some tests differ from those defined by quality standards, or pipe properties
are guaranteed according to special agreements with the partners, technical
conditions for such tests should be agreed before any delivery contract is
signed.
Products inspection
• The products are delivered on the basis of a requirement stated in a sale
contract after agreement of contracting parties.
Pipes are used for:
• gas lines
• oil lines
• hot water lines
• potable water lines
• sewage lines
• civil engineering and structural purposes, piling.

Special production
Production of pipes according to DIN 1626, API Spec. 5L, EN 10 217-1,
