Process Flow of Spiral Steel Pipes
Spiral steel pipes are a kind of economic cross section steel, which is widely used in fluid transportation pipelines such as petroleum, natural gas, water and some solid materials. The manufacturing process of spiral steel pipes is relatively complicated. The following is a brief introduction to the process flow of spiral steel pipes:
1. Raw material inspection:In the production process of spiral steel pipe, first check the raw materials. The steel grades and specifications of these materials required must meet the technical requirements before they can be used;
2. Uncoiling and leveling:In the production process of spiral steel pipe, the steel plate is uncoiled, then the steel plate is flattened, and the winder is removed to make the steel plate more even and straight;
3. Edge shearing:In the production process of spiral steel pipe, the steel plate is sheared from the edge of the steel plate. After the edge shearing, the steel plate is cut into a certain width;
4. Spiral forming:In the production process of spiral steel pipe, a forming machine is used to continuously form a steel strip into a spiral shape according to a predictable gap;
5. Welding:In the production process of spiral steel pipe, welding is generally used for welding, that is, the welding head is round, butt connection and other welding process parameters must be strictly controlled in order to ensure the strength of the welding seam;
6. X-ray Inspection:In the production process of spiral steel pipe, an X-ray inspection is carried out to check whether there is a lack of weld, porosity or other defects in the weld;
7. Hydraulic testing:Hydraulic testing is generally carried out in the production process of spiral steel pipe. The test pressure and testing time are determined according to the standard requirements;
8. Polishing Process:In the production process of spiral steel pipe, the welded joints and the outside of the straight seam pipe need to be polished to improve the appearance quality of the steel pipe;
9. Finished product inspection:The production process of spiral steel pipe requires that the finished product must pass the inspection before it can be delivered. The main elements of the inspection are product specifications, appearance quality, hydraulic test performance, etc.
Overall, the production process of spiral steel pipe is relatively complicated. In the process, we must strictly control the production parameters and test marks to ensure product quality and ensure the safety of the pipeline application.
