How to Choose the Type and Thickness of SSAW Steel Pipe

SSAW steel pipes have been widely used in water plants, petrochemical, chemical, electric power, agricultural irrigation and urban construction. When choosing the type of SSAW steel pipe, people don't know the thickness of the SSAW steel pipe. Here, we will introduce you the type and thickness of the SSAW steel pipe.


1. Commonly used models of SSAW steel pipe

SSAW steel pipe is a kind of spiral steel pipe made of coil, using double wire submerged arc automatic welding extrusion welding. The SSAW steel pipe feeds the steel strip into the welded pipe unit. After multi-roll rolling, the strip is gradually rolled upward to form a round billet with an open gap. Adjust the pressing amount of the squeeze roller to control the welding gap between 1-3 mm and the welding end to be uniform. Common specifications are: outer diameter 219mm, 273mm, 325mm, 377mm, 426mm, 529mm, 630mm, 820mm, 1020mm, 1220mm, 1420mm, 1520mm, 1620mm, 1820mm, 2020mm.


2.What is the common thickness of SSAW steel pipe?

In the project, the SSAW steel pipe thickness is 6mm, 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, 14mm, 16mm, 18mm, 20mm.


3. How to choose the thickness of SSAW steel pipe

For different use scenarios of tap water and steel structure pillars, there are different requirements for thickness. For example, if water pipes are used, the project will be designed with relevant specifications.
