Why Choose Spiral Welded Pipe for Gas Projects?
① Superior Stress Distribution
Under identical internal pressure, the principal stress on the spiral weld seam is only 75%–90% of that on a straight seam welded pipe – delivering higher safety margins for high-pressure gas transmission.
② Extended Single Pipe Length Reduces Girth Welds
Continuous coil forming enables single pipe lengths of up to 24 meters, significantly reducing the number of field girth welds – lowering installation costs and minimizing potential leakage points.
③ Significant Cost Advantage for Large Diameters
Narrower steel coils can be used to produce large-diameter pipes, achieving high material utilization – particularly economical for long-distance trunkline projects.
④ Mature and Reliable Manufacturing Process
The double-sided submerged-arc welding process is well-proven and stable. Combined with a 100% NDT quality system, it has been widely applied in natural gas pipeline projects both domestically and internationally.
