Carbon Steel EN 10217 P235TR1 Submerged Arc Welded Pipe

Longitudinal submerged arc welded pipe (LSAW pipe for short). Longitudinal Submerged Arc Welding (LSAW) is a process of pressing (rolling) steel plate into the billet of die or forming machine, using single plate as raw material. Double-sided submerged arc welding is used to enlarge the diameter. The finished product has complete specifications, good weld toughness, good plasticity, uniformity, compactness, large diameter, thick wall, high pressure, low temperature and corrosion resistance.


In the construction of long distance oil and gas pipelines with high strength, high toughness and high quality, most of the required steel pipes are large diameter thick wall straight submerged arc welded pipes. According to API standard, in large oil and gas pipelines, LSAW pipe is the only designated pipeline type in the first and second class areas such as high altitude areas, seabed and densely populated urban areas. According to different forming methods, it can be divided into:
UOE welded pipe: single steel plate pre-bending, U-shaped forming, O-shaped forming, internal welding, external welding, mechanical cold expansion and other processes;
JCOE welded pipe: according to the "J-C-O-E" process, pre-welding, forming, cold expansion after welding;
HME welded pipe: The process of cold expansion after welding is formed by "C-C-O" by spindle rolling.


The main technical parameters of LSAW are as follows:
Wall thickness: 9.53-50mm
Product Standards: EN 10217
The diameter of LSAW pipe can reach 406.4-1422.4mm.
The length of the steel tube can reach 12.5m


The main characteristics of LSAW tube are as follows:
1) Longitudinal weld is used for steel pipe and submerged arc welding is used for internal and external welds.
2) After the whole mechanical expansion treatment, the stress inside the steel tube is small and uniformly distributed, which can effectively prevent stress corrosion cracking and has high dimensional accuracy, and is convenient for field welding construction.
3) Using pre-and post-weld technology, the welding process is stable and the quality of the weld is high.
4) Welding is easy to carry out nondestructive testing in the production process, and nondestructive testing can be carried out in the field in the use process.
5) The product specifications range is large, can produce small diameter, large wall thickness, also can produce large diameter, large wall thickness steel pipe.

Hebei Huayang Steel Pipe Company Ltd. is the largest ERW and LSAW steel pipe manufacturer in Northern China. Established in 2005, we have a modern factory covering an area of 666,000 square meters, with over 700 employees and a fixed asset of 200 million USD, annual output capacity is up to 1,000,000 Tons. We can quickly fulfill all of our domestic and international customers’ orders, try our best to meet customers’ requirements.

We are located in Cangzhou city, Hebei province, a large steel production base in Northern China. Huayang is near to the raw material steel mill, such as Hebei Zhongtie Equipment Company, Shandong Iron and Steel Co., Ltd, Shougang Group, Jinxi Group, which reduce the material cost. At the same time, Huayang is 210 kilometers from Beijing, 150 kilometers from Tianjin City, 160 kilometers from Xingang port, with convenient transportation, which is convenient for customer’s visit and reduce the transportation cost. With lower material cost control, we can offer more competitive price and significant profit for our customers.

Huayang use advanced imported production equipment such as German once-through rolling machines, British CT METORI digital controllers, one φ114.3mm-φ168.3mm ERW steel production line, three φ219mm-φ426mm ERW steel pipe production line, one φ426mm-φ660mm ERW steel pipe production line, one JCOE production lines for LSAW pipe, size range from 16” to 56” (406.4mm-1422.4mm), wall thickness: 9.53mm-50mm. In 2018, we build a new advanced RBE production line for LSAW pipe, size range from 16” to 56” (406.4mm-1422.4mm), wall thickness: 9.53mm-30mm.

Twenty φ245mm-φ820mm thermal expansion pipe production lines, we have our own high-tech physics and chemistry labs where we can conduct our own tests such as physical properties and chemical composition test, and as well, UT, hydraulic test, X-ray and other test equipment is available, which can meet all related standards and inspection requirements.

In order to provide One-Stop service for customers with superior products from qualified supplier, Huayang set up branch company, Cangzhou Wingo International Trading Co., Ltd in 2013, to help customers purchase different products, such as seamless steel pipes, SSAW steel pipes, Galvanized pipes, Anti-corrosion pipes, pipe fittings and flanges etc.

Huayang steel pipes are used as the construction material and the pipelines for oil, gas, water, steam, and other middle & low hydraulic pressure fluids. Huayang’s products are sold nationwide and mainly exported to Southeast Asia, Middle East, South America, Africa, North America and Europe. Our company has consistently aimed to provide our customers with high quality, affordable industrial pipes. “Huayang” brand steel pipe has gained praises and high reputation from all of the world.
