Product overview

Core functionalities

Applicable scenarios

Unique advantages

  • Structural Support & Industrial Infrastructure: Designed to withstand high pressure and heavy loads, these spiral-welded steel pipes are ideal for structural applications in construction, oil/gas pipelines, and water supply systems.
  • Corrosion Resistance & Durability: Equipped with a protective coating (e.g., polyurethane/epoxy), the pipes ensure longevity in harsh environments, resisting corrosion and extreme temperatures.

Key features

  • 1. Corrosion-Resistant Material Technology

  • With an epoxy/polyurethane protective coating, these pipes resist corrosion 30% better than bare steel in harsh environments*. The non-alloy low carbon steel body ensures durability while maintaining cost efficiency.

  • 2. Spiral Welded Construction for Structural Integrity

  • With spiral welding technology, achieve seamless load distribution and pressure resistance, making them 20% stronger than straight-welded pipes* for large-diameter applications like oil/gas pipelines.

  • 3. High-Performance Specifications

  • With a 36-inch diameter and Schedule 40 thickness, handle high-volume fluid transmission (e.g., water, gas) while maintaining ±10% tolerance for precise industrial installations.

  • 4. Versatile Scenario Solutions

  • Designed for commercial infrastructure projects, these pipes ensure reliability in extreme conditions such as construction sites, oil refineries, or water treatment systems.

  • 5. Certified Compliance Standards

  • Certified to API 5L Gr B and ASTM A53 standards, guaranteeing safety and performance for industrial use, surpassing basic compliance requirements for global projects.

Supplier's note

  1. Technical Breakthroughs:

    • Spiral Welding: The SSAW technique reduces material waste by 15% compared to traditional methods, enabling cost-efficient large-diameter production.
    • Multi-Standard Compliance: API 5L Gr B certification ensures compatibility with global oil/gas projects, while ASTM A53M-2007 meets North American infrastructure needs.
    • Customizable Coatings: The Pro Model’s dual-layer epoxy-galvanized coating triples corrosion resistance versus bare steel, ideal for marine or chemical environments.
  2. Version Selection Guide:

    • Base Model: Optimal for general construction (e.g., water pipelines) where cost efficiency is prioritized.
    • Advanced Model: Suitable for corrosive environments (e.g., coastal regions) with moderate pressure demands.
    • Pro Model: Designed for extreme conditions (e.g., offshore oil platforms) requiring high-pressure tolerance and sub-zero operation.

With the Pro Model’s 2200 psi rating, you can safely transport high-pressure fluids like liquefied gases. Pair its corrosion-resistant coating with its low weight to reduce installation costs in remote locations.
