Correct Care and Maintenance Methods for ERW Welded Pipes

 ERW welded pipe, also called electric resistance welded pipe, is a steel pipe made of steel plates or steel strips that are welded after being curled and formed. ERW welded steel pipe has a simple production process, high production efficiency, many varieties and specifications, and low equipment investment, but its general strength is lower than that of seamless pipes.

As we all know, the service life of an item is directly related to its maintenance, and ERW welded pipe is certainly no exception. In order to extend its service life, we must pay attention to the daily care and maintenance of welded pipes. The following is a brief introduction to the maintenance methods of ERW welded pipes.

1. Clean and polish

If the ERW welded pipe is damaged, it should be polished. In particular, scratches and spatter caused by contact with carbon steel parts, and damage caused by cutting slag must be carefully and thoroughly cleaned and polished.

2. Mechanical polishing

Use appropriate polishing tools for polishing, require uniform treatment, and avoid over-polishing and re-scratching.

3. Remove oil and dust

Before pickling and passivating ERW welded pipes, oil, scale, dust and other impurities must be removed according to the welded pipe process.

4. Water sandblasting treatment

According to different processing requirements, different microglass beads and different process parameters should be selected, and overspray should be avoided.

5. Pickling passivation

The pickling and passivation of ERW welded pipes must be carried out in strict accordance with the process requirements.

6. Clean and dry

After pickling and passivation, neutralization, flushing, and drying should be carried out strictly according to the process to completely remove the residual acid.

7. Protect

After the surface treatment of ERW welded pipes is completed, protection should be provided to avoid secondary contamination by personnel touching and oil, dust and other debris.

By performing daily maintenance on ERW welded pipes, not only can its service life be greatly extended, but its efficiency and safety in daily use can also be greatly improved. Therefore, everyone must remember the above methods and remember to perform daily maintenance on welded pipes.

The main reason for the porosity of submerged arc welding seam

 Submerged arc welding technology is the welding process of SSAW steel pipe and LSAW steel pipe. During the welding process, in addition to insufficient penetration, burn-through and poor formation caused by improper welding process parameters, there will also be pores, slag inclusions, cracks, etc. Defects. This article mainly introduces the main reasons and preventive measures for porosity in submerged arc welding seams. (1) In the process of steel rolling or hot stamping and coiling, the oxide scale formed or fallen off, as well as the positioning welding slag shell, the carbon arc gas created flying slag, etc., are trapped in the flux, which will also cause pores in the weld. Preventive measures: ①The oxide skin that falls off during the process of coiling and bending should be cleaned or blown off with compressed air before assembly and welding to prevent it from being caught in the assembly gap or falling into the groove. ②The surrounding of the welding site should be clean t...

Standard for Choosing Oil Casing Pipe Manufacturers

 　　There are many standards for selecting oil casing manufacturers, which can be divided into short-term standards and long-term standards according to the length of time. The short-term standards for selecting oil casing manufacturers mainly include product quality, price level, timely delivery and overall service level. 　　1. Product quality 　　The quality of the purchased oil casing meets the requirements of the purchasing unit is a condition that the purchasing unit must consider when purchasing the oil casing. Poor quality and low price casing products have lower procurement costs, but will lead to an increase in the total cost, but if the quality is too high, it will far exceed the production requirements, which is also a waste. Therefore, the quality requirements of the oil casing in the procurement The production needs of the enterprise must be consistent, and the requirements are too high or too low are not appropriate. 　　2. Lower cost 　　A lower purchase price is an importan...

How to distinguish between ERW steel tube and seamless steel tube?

　　Today, Great Steel Pipe will tell you how to distinguish the ERW steel pipe and seamless steel pipe. 　　 ERW Steel Pipe 　　ERW is a specific type of welding process that is used to produce welded steel pipe, such as ERW steel pipe. Seam welding is commonly used during the manufacturing of round, square and rectangular steel tubing. The steel strip is unwound from coils and side-trimmed to control width and condition the edges for welding. The strip then passes through a series of contoured rollers which cold-form the material into a circular (square or rectangular) shape. The edges are forced together under pressure as a butt joint and then welded by heating the material to temperatures above 2000° F. The flash weld that has formed is now removed from the outside diameter of the tube. Once the weld has been tested the tube then passes through a series of sizing rolls to attain its precise finished size, after which the tube is then straightened and cut to length. 　 　Seamless Ste...
