Steel pipes for pressure and thermal purposes with specified room temperature properties – line pipes.
The pipes are used almost in all fields of industry. Thanks to their variety of types and sizes, they can also be used for general purposes. The pipes are manufactured through hot rolling or cold drawing.
The pipes are manufactured with the diameters between 21,3 - 660 mm and with the wall thickness of up to 100 mm in the case of hot rolling, and with the diameters between 10,2 - 108 mm and the wall thickness of up to 12,5 mm in the case of cold drawing.
Types used | Details: Table 1 |
Dimensions and tolerances | Details: Table 2 |
Pipe lengths | Pipes with precise lengths are manufactured with the following tolerance values: - for pipes 0-6m -0/+10% - for pipes 6-12m -0/+15% - for pipes longer than 12m -0/ to be negotiated |
Tightness | Pipes should be subject to water testing (7Mpa) or electromagnetic testing. |
Straightness | < 0,0015 of pipe length (below 3mm per every meter of pipe length) |
