What is the standard length of seamless pipe? How to choose?
The standard length of
seamless pipes (SMLS pipe) is generally 6 meters (or 5.8 meters), 9 meters or 12 meters, and the length can also be customized according to customer needs. The length of the steel pipe is mostly related to the diameter of the steel pipe. Generally speaking, the thicker the steel pipe, the longer it is. Small-diameter steel pipes are mostly below 6 meters. Most of the pipes above 500mm are 10 to 12 meters, and others range from 6 to 10 meters.
Introduction to standard length of seamless pipe:
Seamless pipe is a kind of steel pipe that is difficult to make and form. Its conventional length is generally 6 meters (or 5.8 meters), 9 meters or 12 meters. These lengths are determined based on market demand and production process agreements on the basis of meeting seamless pipe production requirements and convenient transportation. At the same time, the appropriate length can also be customized according to the actual needs of customers.
Practical application of seamless pipe length:
Seamless pipes are widely used in petroleum, chemical industry, natural gas, shipbuilding, textiles, nuclear power, machinery, construction and other fields. Among them, in the construction industry, the practical application of seamless pipe length is relatively wide. For example, in pipeline laying in construction projects, the layout of the pipeline is generally drawn up according to the engineering design requirements, and then the seamless pipe is cut, welded and installed to the target location according to the actual length. In this process, accurate control of the length of the seamless pipe is of great significance to ensure the quality and safety of the entire project.
Practical application cases of customized length of seamless pipes:
For some special projects or fields of use, the conventional 6 meters, 9 meters or 12 meters cannot meet the actual needs. At this time, the length of the seamless pipe needs to be customized. For example, in some production processes in the chemical industry, production equipment needs to be installed at distant locations, and standard length seamless pipes cannot meet the requirements. Therefore, manufacturing companies need to specially customize seamless pipes with a length of 14 meters to meet equipment installation and production requirements.
Key points for selecting seamless pipe length:
When choosing the length of seamless pipe, you need to consider the following aspects:
1. Usage scenarios: Different usage scenarios require different lengths. For example, industrial pipes require longer seamless pipes, while household water pipes only require shorter seamless pipes.
2. Transportation method: The transportation method also needs to be considered. For long-distance transportation, it is recommended to choose shorter seamless pipes, which is more convenient and economical.
3. Processing method: For
carbon steel seamless pipes that need to be processed (such as cutting, bending, etc.), they should be purchased according to the processing length.
4. Economical: Finally, price factors need to be considered. Generally speaking, the price of standard length seamless pipes is more favorable.
Conclusion:
The standard length of seamless pipes is generally 6 meters, 9 meters or 12 meters. The specific length selection is determined based on market demand and production process agreement. In practical applications, accurate control of the length of seamless pipes is of great significance to project quality and safety. At the same time, the length of seamless pipes can also be customized according to the actual needs of customers.
