How to Safely Transport Large-diameter Spiral Steel Pipe?

As we all know, large-diameter spiral steel pipes (SSAW) have a wide range of applications. They are used in pipelines for oil and gas transportation, as well as in waterproofing and leakproofing of concrete structures such as sewage tanks, toilets and basements, among other applications. All in all, it has a wide range of applications, it can be used in many places, and many people are buying it. Due to the relatively large size of the product, manufacturers generally provide shipping services when purchasing. So, what is the safe way to transport large-diameter spiral steel pipes?

1. Pay attention to the weather early
When it is necessary to transport large-diameter spiral steel pipes, the manufacturer needs to pay attention to the weather conditions on the day of delivery one day in advance. If it is sunny, it is of course very good. If it is rainy, it is necessary to take protective measures and use a rain cloth to cover the product. Avoid the product being corroded by rain.

2. The product must be packaged in good condition

Large-diameter spiral steel pipe is different from ordinary products. It is relatively large in size, heavy in weight, and has a smooth surface, which is very easy to scatter during transportation. If the customer requires that the large-diameter spiral pipe should not have damage such as bumps on the surface, you can consider using a protective device between the pipes. You can use rubber, straw rope, fiber cloth, plastic, pipe caps, etc. to protect it and bundle it. Strict and sturdy, so that the product can be avoided as much as possible from falling during the transportation process.

1) For thin-walled products, use tube support or tube outer frame protection measures. The material of the bracket and the outer frame is selected from the same steel material as the pipe material.
2) It is generally stipulated that large-diameter spiral pipes should be packed in bulk. If the customer requires bundling, it can be considered as appropriate, but the caliber must be between 159MM and 500MM. The bundled materials should be packed and clamped with steel belts, and each strand should be twisted into at least two strands, and should be appropriately increased according to the outer diameter and weight of the pipe to avoid loosening. Cut-to-length products may not be bundled.
3) If there are threaded buckles at both ends of the pipe, it should be protected by a thread protector. Brush lubricating oil or anti-rust agent on the thread. Both ends of the pipe are beveled, and nozzle protectors can be added to both ends according to requirements.
4) If the large-diameter spiral pipe is loaded into the container, the container should be covered with soft moisture-proof devices such as textile cloth and straw mat. In order to prevent the pipe from being scattered in the container, it can be bundled or welded with a protective bracket outside it.

3. Choose a flat road for transportation

When transporting, you should try to choose a flat ground on the road. Although the distance may be longer, it is safer, and you must drive at a stable and uniform speed. You must not brake or accelerate suddenly, otherwise it is very easy to cause large-caliber Spiral steel pipes are collided, scattered, and damaged, so this needs to be paid attention to.
