Welded Pipe Process

ERW pipes means Electric Resistance Welded Pipes. A plate rolled to become a pipe and welded
using Electric Resistance Welding process. Usully for for high diameter. (cheapest process
avaiable)

Welded Tube and Pipe Manufacturing Processes

Steel strip in coil, which has been slit into the required width from wide strip, is shaped by a
series of forming rolls into a multiple length shell. The longitudinal edges are continously joined
by high frequency resistance/induction welding.

UOE manufacturing process

UOE is a method used for production of longitudinally welded large diameter pipes.
Longitudinal edges of steel plates are first beveled using carbide milling equipment. Beveled
plates are then formed into a U shape using a U-press and subsequently into an O shape using an
O-press. 

Spiral Submerged-arc Welded Quality Assurance

Spiral welded pipe production by submerged arc method is based on using tandem welding
technique for joining inside and outside coil edges, which have been trimmed and beveled by
carbide milling for high quality weld structure. 

Longitudinally Submerged Arc Welded Process Flow

LSAW (Longitudinally Submerged Arc Welded Steel pipes) in leaflets plate as raw material, the
steel plate in the mold or molding machine pressure (volume) into using double-sided submerged
arc welding and flaring from production. 

Typical ERW Pipe Manufacturing Process

Our manufacturing process generally involves the following stages in a step by step procedure.

 
Slitting
HR Coils are slitted to pre-determined widths for each and every size of pipes

Uncoiling, End Shearing And Welding

The slitted coil is uncoiled at the entry of ERW mill and the ends are sheared and welded one
after another. This results in a single endless strip.

Forming

The slitted coils are initially formed into U shape and after that into a cylindrical shape with
open edges utilizing a series of forming rolls.
Welding
In this stage, the open edges are heated to the forging temperature through high-frequency, low-
voltage, high current and press welded by forge rolls making perfect and strong but weld without
filler materials.
De beading

In this stage, the weld flash on top and inside (if required) is trimmed out using the carbide tools.

Seam Annealing

If required, the welding portion and heat affected zone is put to normalizing and then are cooled
down in a air cooling bed.

Sizing

After water quenching, slight reduction is applied to pipes with sizing rolls. This results in
producing desired accurate outside diameter.

Cutting

In cutting stage, the pipes are cut to required lengths by flying cut off disc/saw cutter.

End Facing And Bevelling

This is usually stage, where the pipes ends are faced and bevelled by the end facer. All these
processes are continuous with automatic arrangements. These plain ended tubes further go for
processing as per the customer requirements such as galvanizing, threading, black varnishing and
more.
