API Standard is an industry standard developed by the American Petroleum Institute (API) and is widely used in the oil and gas industry. API Standard covers all aspects from exploration, production, processing to transportation and sales, ensuring the safety, reliability and compatibility of equipment and
The purpose of anti-corrosion treatment of steel pipes is to extend their service life, protect them from environmental factors, and avoid economic losses and safety hazards caused by corrosion. The specific reasons include the following: Extend life: Anti-corrosion treatment can significantly extend the service life
In the manufacture of metal facilities, hot-dip galvanizing and cold-dip galvanizing are two commonly used manufacturing processes. As a metal anti-corrosion method, hot-dip galvanizing usually puts the steel structure to be derusted into the molten zinc at about 500 °C, so that the zinc layer
A natural gas pipeline is a specially designed pipeline system for transporting natural gas. The materials of natural gas pipelines mainly include the following: Carbon steel: the most commonly used material, due to its high strength, good corrosion resistance and low cost. Alloy steel: used
Seamless steel pipe and welded steel pipe are two common types of steel pipes, which have significant differences in manufacturing process, performance, application areas, etc. Seamless steel pipe manufacturing process: Seamless steel pipe is made directly from a whole piece of metal through processes such
Straight seam welded pipe (LSAW) and spiral welded pipe (SSAW) are two common types of welded steel pipes, which are widely used in oil and gas transportation, construction, infrastructure and other fields. Straight seam welded pipe (LSAW) Production process 1. Raw materials: steel plate or
Precision seamless steel pipe is a kind of high-precision steel pipe material after cold drawing or hot rolling. Due to the advantages of no oxide layer on the inner and outer walls of precision steel pipe, no leakage under high pressure, high precision, high finish,
A straight seam steel pipe is a steel pipe with a weld parallel to the longitudinal direction of the steel pipe. It is usually divided into metric electric welded steel pipe, electric welded thin-walled pipe, transformer cooling oil pipe, etc. The production process of straight
Spiral seam submerged arc welded steel pipe is formed by bending hot-rolled strip steel into a spiral shape, and the inner and outer seams are welded by submerged arc automatic welding to form a spiral seam steel pipe (also called spiral welded pipe, spiral
API 5L generally refers to the implementation standard of pipeline steel pipes. Pipeline steel pipes are used to transport oil, gas, water, etc. extracted from the ground to oil and gas industrial enterprises. Pipeline steel pipes include seamless steel pipes and welded steel pipes. At
