FAQs
-
Q1: What are the key differences between seamless and welded steel pipes?
Seamless pipes are produced without any welded seam, offering better strength, pressure resistance, and structural integrity than welded pipes. They're ideal for high-pressure, high-temperature, or critical environments such as boilers, oil pipelines, and hydraulic systems.
-
Q2: How do I choose the right seamless steel pipe for my application?
Consider factors like operating pressure and temperature, corrosion environment, material grade (carbon, alloy, stainless steel), wall thickness, and compliance with standards such as ASTM, EN, or API. For specific project needs, feel free to contact our technical team for personalized guidance.
-
Q3: What standards are commonly used for seamless steel pipes?
The most frequently used standards include ASTM A106/A53 (general purpose), ASTM A179/A213 (boiler and heat exchanger tubes), EN 10216-2 (pressure pipes), DIN 2391/EN 10305 (precision tubes), and API 5L/5CT (oil & gas industry).
-
Q4: Which steel grade is best for high-temperature or corrosive applications?
For high temperatures, grades like 15Mo3, T22, or SA213-T91 are recommended. For corrosive environments (e.g. chemical or marine), stainless steels like 316L or duplex alloys are more suitable. Material selection should match your media and conditions.
-
Q5: How do I verify the quality of seamless pipes before purchase?
Ask for mill test certificates (MTC), third-party inspections (SGS, BV), and NDT results (ultrasonic, eddy current, hydrostatic testing). Reputable manufacturers also comply with ISO, ASME, or API certification standards.
-
Q6: What is your typical lead time and delivery capability?
For in-stock items, delivery can be arranged in 3–7 days. Custom orders generally take 15–35 days depending on size, grade, and quantity. Our monthly capacity exceeds 30,000 tons, and we maintain over 30,000 tons of ready inventory for fast dispatch.
-
Q7: Can I request custom sizes, lengths, or finishes?
Absolutely. We offer cut-to-length, chamfered ends, honed bore, and special surface finishes such as phosphating or oiling. Just share your project drawings or specifications, and we’ll provide a tailored solution.
-
Q8: What’s the difference between hot-rolled and cold-drawn seamless pipes?
Hot-rolled pipes are produced at high temperatures, making them suitable for general structure and pressure piping. Cold-drawn pipes undergo further processing, resulting in tighter tolerances, better surface finish, and higher mechanical performance—ideal for precision and hydraulic applications.
