Mechanical & Physical Performance Testing

Chemical Composition Analysis · Tensile / Impact / Bend Tests

Hardness Testing · Metallographic Examination

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.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?

MOQ typically ranges from 200 to 500 tons depending on specifications. Smaller quantities may be negotiable for standard sizes.
Q2: What is the typical lead time?

Standard specification orders are generally delivered within 30–45 days after contract signing. Lead time varies by specification and order volume.
Q3: Can samples be provided?

Yes, small samples are available for quality verification. Please contact us for details.
Q4: What is the export packaging method?

Bare packing / bundled / covered with waterproof fabric. Plastic end caps can be added to protect threads and bevels – suitable for ocean freight.
Q5: Can third-party inspection be arranged?

Yes, we can coordinate third-party inspection services such as SGS, BV, or other accredited agencies for surveillance or final inspection per project requirements.
