Welded line pipe is a type of steel pipe used to transport oil, gas, and other fluids in the energy industry. It’s made by welding longitudinal and helical steel strips together and is available in various grades, sizes, and coatings. It’s preferred over seamless pipe for some applications due to its lower cost and availability in larger sizes. Typical specifications include API 5L, ASTM A53, ASTM A106, and ASME B36.10.
Following are some major benefits of Galvanized sheets :
- Oil and Gas Industry: The oil and gas industry requires welded line pipe to transport crude oil, natural gas, and refined products over long distances. The typical specifications for welded line pipe in this industry include API 5L and ISO 3183. These specifications cover different grades of line pipe, such as API 5L Grade B, X42, X52, X60, X65, and X70. The pipe is available in various sizes and wall thicknesses, and the coating can be selected based on the environment and application.
- Water and Wastewater Industry: The water and wastewater industry requires welded line pipe for transporting water and other liquids over long distances. The typical specifications for welded line pipe in this industry include ASTM A53 and ASTM A252. These specifications cover different grades of steel pipe, such as ASTM A53 Grade A and Grade B, and ASTM A252 Grade 2 and Grade 3. The pipe is available in various sizes and wall thicknesses, and the coating can be selected based on the environment and application.
- Chemical Industry: The chemical industry requires welded line pipe for transporting chemicals and other hazardous substances over long distances. The typical specifications for welded line pipe in this industry include ASTM A106 and ASTM A672. These specifications cover different grades of steel pipe, such as ASTM A106 Grade B and C, and ASTM A672 Grade B60, B65, B70, C60, C65, and C70. The pipe is available in various sizes and wall thicknesses, and the coating can be selected based on the environment and application.
- Construction Industry: The construction industry requires welded line pipe for structural support in buildings, bridges, and tunnels. The typical specifications for welded line pipe in this industry include ASTM A500 and ASTM A847. These specifications cover different grades of steel pipe, such as ASTM A500 Grade B and C, and ASTM A847 Grade A and B. The pipe is available in various sizes and wall thicknesses, and the coating can be selected based on the environment and application.
