Precautions for ERW steel pipe when testing water pressure

  When the hydraulic test of the erw steel pipe is carried out, it is often found that the bursting opening is cracked from the weld of the erw steel pipe, which indicates that the strength of the welded portion is lower than that of the base metal. Through experimental analysis, it is found that if an internal scraping groove is formed on the inner surface of the steel pipe during the removal of the burr in the weld, the wall thickness of the sample at the weld bead is reduced, and the sample is easily broken from the tensile test.

  The water pressure test of the water supply pipeline is the means for the final quality assessment of the erw steel pipe laying. Generally, there are two main requirements for the hydraulic pressure test: one is that it can correctly reflect the leakage of the pipeline; the other is the pressure test. No problem, nor can the interface be damaged due to pressure test, but it will affect the quality of the project, or retry the work, resulting in waste, and can not cause personal safety accidents.

  In addition, when the weld tensile test is carried out in accordance with APISPEC 5L, it is often the case that the remaining height of the weld is removed or retained, and the weld is often broken. This indicates that the strength of the weld of the erw steel pipe is lower than that of the base metal. There are two reasons for the analysis: one is that the strength of the weld portion of the erw steel pipe is lower than that of the base material; the other is the scraping on the inner surface of the steel pipe when the burr in the weld is removed.

  The groove or the residual burr causes the transition of the weld portion and the base material to be unreasonable, resulting in stress concentration, so that the overall structural strength of the weld portion is lower than that of the base material portion. Therefore, the transition shape of the weld portion of the ERW welded pipe and the base metal should be optimized to ensure the overall quality of the steel pipe. The hydraulic pressure test is not necessarily 1.5 times of the design pressure. For details, please refer to GB50235-2011 Industrial Metal Pipeline Construction Specification or TSG-D0001 Pressure Pipe Safety Technology Supervision Regulations - Pressure Pipeline Standard.

Thick-walled Spiral Pipe Steel Grades

  In the pipeline pressure ratio is also gradually reduced.Optimized calculation, comparison and selection of diameter, pressure and pressure ratio requirements.When determining the amount of input, determine the diameter, pressure, pressure ratio by optimizing the future, such as selecting a higher pressure steel strength grade is too low, it will cause excessive wall thickness, which gives the pipe, site welding and transportation links with many other be difficult, or even difficult to achieve.

  Now more choice of fluid pipes thick-walled spiral pipe, pipeline delivery pressure medium is gradually increased in recent years, especially in the gas pipeline online. This is because in a certain range to improve the delivery pressure will increase economic efficiency, to pipe gas pipeline, for example, in the same amount of input conditions, increases the density of the gas delivery pressure and increase the flow rate is reduced, so that the friction resistance decreased.

  Production needs to promote the improvement of the steel grade. The so-called pressure ratio refers to the ratio of inbound and outbound pressure pressure, the pressure ratio across the board reduction means are operating at a higher pressure, so that power consumption can also be reduced. Early pressure is more than 1.6, and later fell to 1.4 in recent years, some foreign gas pipeline to take pressure ratio was 1.25. Of course, the pressure ratio decreases, the number of compressor stations to increase, so that investment will increase.

How to polish seamless steel tubes

  Polishing methods of seamless steel tubes are as follows:

  1. Mechanical polishing

  The advantage is that the parts are smooth and the brightness is high after processing. The disadvantage is that the intensity of labor is too great, resulting in serious pollution, and can not process complex parts, the gloss can not be consistent, the holding time is not long, mechanical polishing is suitable for processing simple parts, and small and medium parts.

  2. Chemical polishing

  A little bit is investment equipment, complex parts can be polished, fast, high efficiency, good corrosion resistance, the disadvantage is poor light, need ventilation equipment, heating difficulties. Suitable for small batches of complex parts and small parts that do not require high brightness.

  3. Electrochemical polishing

  The advantage is that the specular gloss is kept long, the process is stable, the cost is low, and the anti-corrosion is disadvantaged. The disadvantage is that the equipment has a large investment at one time, the complicated parts have to be tooled, and the auxiliary electrode is mass-produced, and the cooling device is needed. Suitable for mass production, mainly used in high-grade products, export products, tolerance products, stable processing technology and simple operation.

Specification and welding point of high frequency welded pipe

  The welding of high-frequency welded pipes is a new welding process that uses the skin effect and adjacent effect generated by high-frequency current to connect steel plates with other metal materials.

  The emergence and maturity of high-frequency welding technology has directly promoted the tremendous development of the straight seam welded pipe industry. It is a key process for the production of straight seam welded pipe.

  The quality of high-frequency welding directly affects the overall strength, quality grade and production speed of welded pipe products. High-frequency welded pipe generally refers to high-frequency straight-slit electric resistance welded steel pipe (ERW). After the hot-rolled coil is formed by the forming machine, the skin effect and the proximity effect of the high-frequency current are used to heat and melt the edge of the tube blank under the action of the squeeze roller. Pressure welding is used to achieve production.

  The high-frequency resistance welded steel pipe is different from the ordinary welded pipe welding process. The weld is formed by melting the base material of the steel strip body, and the mechanical strength is better than that of the general welded pipe.

  The high-frequency welded pipe has smooth appearance, high precision, low cost and low weld seam height, which is beneficial to the coating of 3PE anti-corrosion coating. The welding method of high-frequency welded steel pipe and submerged arc welded pipe is significantly different. Since the welding is completed instantaneously at high speed, the difficulty in ensuring the welding quality is much higher than that in the submerged arc welding method.

The effect of cold expansion on LSAW steel pipe

  The effect of cold expansion on LSAW steel pipe:

  (1) Improve the geometrical dimensional accuracy of the pipe body and pipe end of the lsaw steel pipe, so that the diameter and roundness of the pipe body and the pipe end and the diameter difference between the two ends of the steel pipe meet the standard requirements, which is convenient for on-site welding construction.

  (2) Conduct a comprehensive and effective inspection of the overall performance of the steel pipe.

  (3) Reducing the uneven deformation of the forming and welding process of lsaw steel pipe, reducing the residual stress of the pipe body caused by molding and welding, improving the distribution and improving the overall mechanical properties of the steel pipe.

  (4) The cold expansion diameter also has the effect of improving the straightness of lsaw steel pipe, especially the straightening effect on the smaller diameter straight seam submerged arc welded pipe.

  After the cold expansion of the lsaw steel pipe, the diameter of the pipe body and the pipe end will increase by about one percent. The diameter, the roundness and the diameter difference between the two ends of the steel pipe are greatly improved, and the straightness of the steel pipe is also greatly improved. The length is reduced by about 0.5%, and the wall thickness is reduced by about 0.8%. In the development of the lsaw steel pipe process, these changes should be fully considered to determine the width, length and thickness of the pipe sheet and the outer diameter of the steel pipe before the diameter expansion, so as to avoid the geometrical dimension of the steel pipe after the expansion is not up to the final requirements.

Korean cold rolled flat prices began to rise in July

  In July, Korean cold-rolled flat product manufacturers began to increase prices. Among them, South Korea's Eastern Steel has identified new price tags, and other companies such as South Korea's Dongkuk Steel and South Korea's Shiya Group also participated in the price increase.

  According to industry sources, South Korea's Eastern Steel has issued a notice to increase the price of all cold-rolled flat products by 40,000 won/ton since July 16. South Korea's Dongkuk Steel and South Korea's Shiya Group announced that their cold-rolled flat products prices will increase by 50,000 won / ton.

  South Korean manufacturers of cold-rolled flat products said that they will continue to bear the burden of increasing production costs in the middle of the year. Previously they had reduced losses by cutting production levels, and some producers had to overcome the current difficulties by raising prices. Related parties expect that although the shipment price of Korean cold-rolled flat products has been confirmed to increase in July, it is still difficult to make up for the losses of producers, so additional price increases may be difficult to avoid.

  However, relevant sources believe that the continued weakening of steel demand in the Korean domestic market, coupled with consumer resistance to price increases, may hinder price increases. Therefore, Korean manufacturers of cold-rolled flat products have to increase processing fees or expand exports as an alternative to price increases.

The difference between socket welding and butt welding

  SW joint is defined in ASME B16.11.Like the socket weld, the pipe is inserted into the indented portion of the fitting.Both the pipe and the fitting are square cut, with no need for beveled end or preparation other than cleaning the outside, which allows easy welding and installation. Butt weld (BW) fittings are defined in the ASME B16.9. They are welded at their ends to pipe end, with the same thickness as pipes. The end of butt weld fittings shall be beveled.

  Application

  Socket weld (the fillet weld) resists around 1/2 the strength of butt welding. So it is mainly used for small pipeline (Small Bore Piping) with diameters NPS 2 or smaller.

  Butt weld keeps better strength, good for high pressure or high temperature pipelines. So it is used when a welded joint with strength not lower than that of the base metal itself is needed.

  Feature

  Socket weld is easy to install. But it requires approx. 1/16″ of gap at the bottom of the pipe to socket into, to allow thermal expansion. This gap can lead to over stress problem that cracks the fillet weld of the fitting. Socket weld is troublesome in corrosive fluid service due to crevice corrosion. And it is easy to corrode due to the discontinuity of the smooth pipe internals.

  Butt weld is the “best” in terms of strength, fatigue, and corrosion resistance, and temperatures compliance. However, it is more difficult to fit-up and weld properly, needing skilled welder and much time.

  Price

  Normally, the price of socket weld fittings is higher than butt weld fittings in similar size. But the extra cost of butt weld is higher for installation, considering labor cost and skilled welder.

How to prevent decarbonization of steel surface

  In the steel products market, buyers at sellers the service life of steel products is a very important factor. So what the service life of steel products and related, for instance, wire rope its service life of the rope depends mainly on its fatigue strength and wear resistance, if excessive decarburization on the surface of wire rope, will reduce as reinforcement and wear-resistant phase carbide in the surface layer, thus will directly affect the two performance. , such as tool steel, bearing steel, the surface of the decarburization layer if not clean, to make the tool steel, bearing steel surface hardness and wear resistance is reduced, and the quenching, due to the outer volume change in the different and the workpiece surface cracks. Can look for the degree of surface decarburization steel products will greatly influence the service life of it. So how to prevent the surface of the steel decarburization is should pay attention to the problems in the production process.

  It is understood that foreign imports of the decarburization layer of the wire rod is 0.02 ~ 0.04 mm, of kobe wire rod surface can be done without decarburization, decarburization layer and the domestic like product average depth of more than 0.05 mm. So how to take measures to solve this problem?

  Solve the problem of surface decarburization, key on the heat treatment process. Because the decarbonization and the oxidation of steel wire was conducted at the same time, therefore, as long as make less steel wire in the process of heat treatment is exposed to air can reach the purpose of improving the decarburization.
