What is the Length of the Welded Pipe?
Welded pipes are usually available in lengths of 6 meters or 12 meters.
Common length of welded pipe:
Welded pipe is a kind of pipe made by welding, which has the characteristics of high strength, corrosion resistance and smooth surface. Welded pipes are made of various materials, and different materials can be selected to meet different usage needs. Welded pipes are widely used in construction, manufacturing, machining and other fields. The common lengths of welded pipes are 6 meters and 12 meters. These two lengths can meet most usage requirements. Welded pipe often requires cutting during transportation and storage. Therefore, you can choose different lengths of welded pipes to purchase and use according to your needs.
The length of welded pipes implements standard requirements:
Straight seam welded pipe (ERW Pipe/LSAW Pipe): length ≤ 12000mm;
Spiral welded pipe (SSAW Pipe): length ≤ 16000mm.
Length requirements of straight seam welded pipe:
Commonly used welded steel pipes in the world are divided into two types according to their length, namely short welded pipes and long welded pipes. In our country's standards, welded steel pipes can be divided into long welded pipes and specified length welded pipes according to their length. Among them, the specified length welded pipe refers to the straight seam welded pipe with a length of 12000mm or less.
When implementing the latest standards, the length requirements for straight seam welded pipes are: length ≤ 12000mm.
This requirement is mainly to ensure the convenience of production and storage of welded pipes, and also helps to control the quality of the pipes. At the same time, when detecting the length of straight seam welded pipes, laser scanning or manual measurement methods are often used.
Length requirements of spiral welded pipe:
Spiral welded pipe is a larger type of welded pipe that is widely used in petroleum, natural gas, chemical industry, water supply and other fields. According to international standards, the length of spiral welded pipes should not exceed 16000mm.
In our country's standards, the length requirements of spiral welded pipes are: length ≤ 16000mm.
Likewise, this requirement is mainly to ensure the convenience of production and storage, and to control the quality of welded pipes. When testing the length of spiral welded pipes, advanced testing equipment such as laser scanners or CNC production lines are often used.
Common specifications and uses of welded pipes:
The specifications and uses of welded pipes vary. Here are some common specifications and uses:
1. Welded pipes with a diameter less than 76mm are used in steel structures, machinery manufacturing, automobile manufacturing, steel furniture and other fields.
2. Welded pipes with diameters between 76mm and 159mm, usually used for general manufacturing, transportation pipelines and foundation piles.
3. Welded pipes with a diameter greater than 159mm are generally used in oil and gas transportation, underground pipelines, bridge construction and other fields.
4. Welded pipes with thinner walls are used for wire tubes, while welded pipes with thicker walls can be used in motorcycle frames, cold drawing, deep drawing and other heavy-duty machinery manufacturing.
In short, welded pipes have a wide range of uses and market demands, and their specifications and uses also vary depending on the industry and use. When you need to purchase welded pipes, you need to understand its relevant specifications and uses, and choose the appropriate length to purchase.
