Spiral Submerged Arc Welded Pipe (SSAW Pipe)

1) Overview

Spiral Submerged Arc Welded (SSAW) pipes are produced by forming hot rolled coils into a spiral shape and welding with double-sided submerged arc welding.
They feature large diameter range, uniform wall thickness, high weld quality, and high material utilization, making them ideal for oil & gas pipelines, water transmission, piling, and structural applications.


2) Manufacturing Process
    •    Raw material: hot rolled coil/strip
    •    Forming: spiral forming, edge alignment
    •    Welding: inner & outer submerged arc welding (double weld)
    •    Weld inspection: 100% UT / X-ray
    •    Post-treatment: expanding, sizing, straightening, hydro test, anti-corrosion coating


3) Key Features
    •    Large diameter capability: up to 4000 mm
    •    Thick wall production: up to 25.4 mm
    •    High strength steel: up to API 5L X80 grade
    •    Reliable weld seam: dense welds with properties close to base metal
    •    Cost-effective: ideal for large-diameter, long-distance pipelines


4) Standards
    •    API 5L: line pipe for oil & gas (PSL1/PSL2)
    •    ASTM A252: piling pipe
    •    ASTM A139: electric-fusion arc-welded steel pipe
    •    EN 10219 / EN 10224: structural & fluid conveying welded pipes
    •    GB/T 9711: pipeline steel pipe for oil & gas
    •    SY/T 5037: SSAW pipes for medium/low pressure fluids


5) Grades
    •    Carbon steel: Q235, Q345, L245, L290, L360
    •    Line pipe steel: API 5L Gr.B, X42–X80
    •    Customized grades: available upon project request


6) Applications
    •    Oil & gas: long-distance transmission pipelines
    •    Municipal water: water supply & sewage networks
    •    Structural: piling pipes, building columns
    •    Power plants: circulating water systems
    •    Marine engineering: subsea pipelines, port piles
    •    Industrial: metallurgy, chemical, thermal pipelines


7) Quality & Testing
    •    Chemical & mechanical tests (C, S, P control, tensile, impact, hardness)
    •    Weld inspection: UT & RT 100%
    •    Hydrostatic test: 100% on each pipe
    •    Dimensional check: roundness, straightness, bevel accuracy
    •    Coating inspection: epoxy, 3PE, FBE, asphalt
    •    Third-party inspection: SGS, BV, LR, DNV


8) Supply & Packaging
    •    Size range: OD 219 – 4000 mm, WT 5 – 25.4 mm, length 6 – 18 m
    •    Ends: plain, beveled, flanged
    •    Coating: bare, varnish, asphalt, 3PE, FBE
    •    Packaging: loose or bundled, suitable for land/sea transport
    •    Traceability: MTC (EN 10204 3.1/3.2)
