The difference between LSAW Pipe and SSAW tube
API LSAW pipeline manufacturing process Longitudinal submerged arc welded pipe (LSAW pipe), also known as SAWL pipe. It takes steel plate as raw material, which is shaped by forming machine, and then submerged arc welding is carried out on both sides. Through this proces...Read more -
Seamless, ERW, LSAW and SSAW Pipes: The Differences and Property
Steel pipes come in many forms and sizes. Seamless pipe is a non-welded option, made of hollowed steel billet. When it comes to welded steel pipes, there are three options: ERW, LSAW and SSAW. ERW pipes are made of resistance welded steel plates. LSAW pipe is made of lon...Read more -
High-speed tool steel CPM Rex T15
● Overview of High-speed tool steel High-speed steel (HSS or HS) is a subset of tool steels, which is commonly used as cutting tool material. High speed steels (HSS ) get their name from the fact that they may be operated as cutting tools at much higher cutting speeds th...Read more -
Welded vs seamless stainless steel tube
Stainless steel tubing is one of the most versatile metal alloy materials used in manufacturing and fabrication. The two common types of tubing are seamless and welded. Deciding between welded vs. seamless tubing primarily depends on the application requirements of the product. In choosing betwee...Read more -
Welded Pipe VS Seamless Steel Pipe
Both Electric resistance welded (ERW) and seamless (SMLS) steel pipe manufacturing methods have been in use for decades; over time, the methods used to produce each have advanced. So which is better? 1. Manufacturing welded pipe Welded pipe starts out as a long, coiled ribbon of steel called a sk...Read more -
Types of steel – Classification of steel
What is Steel? Steel is an alloy of Iron and the principal (main) alloying element is Carbon. However, there are some exceptions to this definition like interstitial-free (IF) steels and type 409 ferritic stainless steels, in which carbon is considered as an impurity. What is an Alloy? When diffe...Read more -
What is the Difference in Black Steel Pipe & Galvanized Steel Pipe?
Water and gas require the use of pipes to carry them into residential homes and commercial buildings. Gas supplies power to stoves, water heaters and other devices, while water is essential for other human needs. The two most common types of pipes used to carry water and gas are black steel pipe ...Read more -
Manufacturing Process of Steel Pipe
The manufacture of steel pipe dates from the early 1800’s. Initially, pipe was manufactured by hand – by heating, bending, lapping, and hammering the edges together. The first automated pipe manufacturing process was introduced in 1812 in England. Manufacturing processes have continually improved...Read more -
Different Standards of Steel Piping——ASTM vs. ASME vs. API vs. ANSI
Because pipe is so common among so many industries, it’s no surprise that a number of different standards organizations impact the production and testing of pipe for use across a wide array of applications. As you’ll see, there’s both some overlap as well as some differences amo...Read more
