1. Welded steel pipes are produced continuously online. The thicker the wall thickness, the greater the investment in the unit and welding equipment, and the less economical and practical it is. The thinner the wall thickness, the lower its input-output ratio will be.
2. The process of large-diameter stainless steel pipes generally requires that welded steel pipes have high precision, uniform wall thickness, high internal and external brightness (the surface brightness of the steel pipe is determined by the surface grade of the steel plate), and can be arbitrarily cut to length. Therefore, it reflects its economy and aesthetics in high-precision, medium, and low-pressure fluid applications.
3. The production process of welded steel pipes is simple, with high production efficiency, low cost, and rapid development. The strength of spiral welded pipes is generally higher than that of straight seam welded pipes. Welded pipes with larger diameters can be produced from narrower billets, and welded pipes with different diameters can also be produced from billets of the same width. However, compared with straight seam pipes of the same length, the weld length is increased by 30 to 100%, and the production speed is lower. Therefore, smaller diameter welded pipes mostly use straight seam welding, while large diameter welded pipes mostly use spiral welding.
