Types and application of electric-welded pipes

Electro-welded pipes are made from rolled sheets, which are welded by high-frequency currents in the molding field. This manufacturing method, at a low cost, guarantees unsurpassed depravity of the product. The use of a welded joint makes it possible to use this type of pipe not only for the construction of metal structures, but also as a water supply system. The assortment of electric-welded pipe productsof the UTMK company will allow you to choose products that meet all the requirements.

The technology of manufacturing welded products differs from other types of rolled products. In this case, there is no need for complex molding processes, which reduces the cost of production technology. Such products have strict requirements for the quality of the weld, which eliminates surface defects and weakening of the metal. The use of the electric welding method of connection does not violate the crystal lattice of the metal, and such products are not much inferior in strength to seamless pipes.

Electric welded pipes are universal and in demand in various industries. Depending on the forming technology, such rolled products can be of the following types:

• straight-seam pipe - characterized by a longitudinal type of seam;
• Spirally welded pipe - the welded joint is made in a spiral.

The most demanded are longitudinally welded pipes made of alloy steel, resistant to external influences and internal pressure drops. Such products are often used for transporting liquids or low pressure gas pipelines.

Construction work or laying of communication networks will be difficult without rolled pipes. Electric-welded pipes are undemanding to external conditions and have a huge margin of safety. This type of rolled metal is not afraid of shock loads and allows laying in open spaces and underground. Such products are in demand in construction, installation of metal structures and domestic use. The high quality of the weld also allows these products to be used for more serious tasks.

Longitudinally welded pipes are widely used in production. They are used in the automotive industry, furniture production and metallurgy. In agriculture, this rolled pipe is often used for irrigation systems. Such products are available with different diameters and wall thicknesses, which will facilitate the selection of the desired parameters.

The development of infrastructure, the launch of production facilities or the commissioning of new communications require a large amount of rolled metal. The low cost of electric-welded pipes, reliability and long service life make them in demand in all existing industries. Such products, although they may have significant weight, do not cause difficulties in operation.

Among the advantages of longitudinally welded pipe, the following indicators should be noted;

• versatility of use, ease of installation and installation;
• large margin of safety with minimal maintenance;
• ability to withstand significant internal pressure;
• Insensitive to deformation and impact loads.
