Einf\u00fchrung<\/b><\/h1>\nDaxun will provide a detailed introduction to welded stainless steel pipe: A Complete Guide to High-Quality Stainless Steel Welded Pipe.<\/b><\/h2>\n
1.Welded stainless steel pipe, also known as stainless steel welded pipe or tube, is produced by rolling and longitudinally welding stainless steel sheets or strips. This type of stainless steel tubing is widely used in petrochemical, food processing, pharmaceutical, heat exchanger, machinery manufacturing, and architectural decoration industries.<\/span><\/p>\n2.Thanks to its cost-effectiveness, excellent straightness, precise dimensions, reliable performance, and high production efficiency, welded stainless steel pipes have become one of the most widely used stainless steel products in both industrial and residential applications around the world. They are commonly applied in industrial stainless steel piping systems, decorative stainless steel tube installations, and fluid transportation projects.<\/span><\/p>\nDefinition of Welded Stainless Steel Pipe and Commonly Used Standards in Global Industries<\/b><\/h2>\n
Welded stainless steel pipes are manufactured by rolling stainless steel strips or sheets into round, square, or rectangular tubes, followed by high-frequency welding (HFW) or submerged arc welding (SAW).<\/span><\/p>\nDepending on the production process and application, welded stainless steel pipes can be categorized as:<\/span><\/p>\n\n- Industrial welded stainless steel pipes \u2013 compliant with ASTM A312, A249, A269, and GB\/T 12771 standards, commonly used in chemical, petrochemical, and industrial piping systems.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Decorative welded stainless steel pipes \u2013 compliant with GB\/T 18705 and JIS G3447, ideal for architectural, furniture, and interior decoration projects.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Sanitary and food-grade welded stainless steel pipes \u2013 compliant with ASTM A270 and ISO 2037, suitable for food processing, beverage, pharmaceutical, and sanitary applications.<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\nCommon materials include 304, 304L, 316L, 321, 310S, 2205, and 2507 duplex stainless steel, offering options for industrial, decorative, and sanitary piping needs.<\/span><\/p>\nStainless Steel Welded Pipe Production Process – Detailed Production Steps.<\/b><\/h2>\n\n- Raw Material Preparation<\/span>
\n<\/span> High-quality stainless steel strips or coils are selected for production. The materials must be pickled, leveled, and edge-sheared to ensure a clean, impurity-free surface and a flat, flawless plate. This step guarantees the stainless steel welded pipes have consistent quality from the very beginning.<\/span><\/li>\n- Pipe Forming<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
\n- Small-diameter welded stainless steel pipes are formed into the desired shape (round or square) at a constant speed using a continuous forming unit.<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/li>\n- Large-diameter welded stainless steel pipes are formed into round tubes using a hydraulic bending machine (JCO). To ensure uniform roundness, the tubes are further shaped with a shaping machine.<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n- Welding<\/span>
\n<\/span> Various welding methods are applied depending on pipe specifications:<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n- TIG welding (tungsten inert gas arc welding)<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/li>\n- High-frequency (HF) welding<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/li>\n- Submerged arc welding (for thicknesses over 15mm)<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/li>\n- Plasma welding<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\nThese methods ensure a dense, smooth weld free of pores, dents, or other defects. Each welded joint undergoes X-ray inspection to guarantee quality.<\/span><\/p>\n\n- Heat Treatment and Straightening<\/span>
\n<\/span> After welding, pipes undergo solution heat treatment (950\u00b0C\u20131150\u00b0C) and mechanical straightening. This restores and enhances corrosion resistance (including pitting resistance) and ensures uniform mechanical strength, allowing welded stainless steel pipes to maintain excellent performance in extreme industrial environments.<\/span><\/li>\n- Surface Treatment: Pickling, Polishing, and Degreasing<\/span>
\n<\/span> This step removes scale, oil stains, and weld marks, ensuring internal and external surfaces are clean. Depending on project requirements, pipes can undergo polishing, brushing, or mirror finishing for decorative or sanitary applications.<\/span><\/li>\n- Inspection and Packaging<\/span>
\n<\/span> Quality checks include:<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n- Eddy current testing (ECT)<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/li>\n- Ultrasonic testing (UT \/ RT100%)<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/li>\n- Hydrostatic pressure testing<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/li>\n- Dimensional consistency inspection<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\nOnly pipes meeting all standard requirements proceed to packaging. Wooden crates and pallets are used to prevent damage during transportation.<\/span><\/p>\n\n- Traceability<\/span>
\n<\/span> We maintain full traceability for each welded stainless steel pipe by tracking:<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n- Raw material batch numbers<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/li>\n- Production process numbers<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/li>\n- Inspection records<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\nFrom receipt of stainless steel strips to final shipment, each pipe is documented with a production process card and unique identifiers, ensuring complete traceability.<\/span><\/p>\nCommon specifications and size ranges of stainless steel welded pipes<\/b><\/h2>\n
