Straight seam steel pipe can play an important role in different venues

Since the 1930s, with the development of strip continuous rolling production and the advancement of welding and inspection technology, the quality of welds has been continuously improved, and the varieties and specifications of welded pipes have increased day by day, and more and more seamless pipes have been replaced. Welded steel pipes are cheaper than seamless steel pipes and are more widely used in production.

Straight seam steel pipe (ERW pipe and LSAW pipe) is a practical steel pipe that has been widely used in construction facilities on small and medium construction sites. Not only that, but straight seam steel pipes are often used in mining, power, construction, and various piping systems, and are one of the most important industries today.

Straight seam steel pipe has been used as one of the production objects. In recent years, various types of steel pipes such as straight seam welded steel pipe, high frequency welded straight seam steel pipe, double-sided submerged arc welded straight seam steel pipe, large diameter straight seam steel pipe and thick wall straight seam steel pipe have been produced successively. Different types of straight seam steel pipes have been applied in different places and become the demand products of all walks of life.

The difference between straight seam steel pipe and spiral steel pipe

Fundamentally speaking, spiral steel pipe or straight seam steel pipe is a kind of welded steel pipe, and these two kinds of steel pipes are widely used in various projects due to their superior performance. Of course, due to their different production processes, there are still great differences in actual use, which directly leads to great differences in the scope of application of the two steel pipes.

Compared with spiral steel pipes, the manufacturing process of straight seam steel pipes is much simpler. The production process of straight seam steel pipe is mainly divided into two types, one is high frequency welding straight seam steel pipe, and the other is submerged arc welding straight seam steel pipe. It is precisely because of the simple production process of straight seam steel pipes that the production efficiency of straight seam steel pipes is high, the cost is low, and the speed of development is also very rapid.
