Process & Finishing

Production of seamless steel pipe:
The process begins with solid steel rounds, or billets, being cut to a specified length and sent through a walking-beam reheat furnace, where temperatures reach nearly 2,300°F. After exiting the reheat furnace, the preheated rounds are turned into a tube shell in the rotary piercing mill as the billets are cross-rolled between two barrel-shaped rolls at a high speed. The seamless shells enter mandrel mill, where they are rolled over a retained mandrel to provide the needed OD size and wall thickness for the next process. The process is carefully monitored using a state-of-the-art hot-wall measuring system. The shells are then reheated for final forming in a 24-stand stretch-reducing mill, where outside diameters are formed to customers’ exacting specifications. Wall thickness is again verified using a hot-wall measuring system. After being rotated and advanced on the walking-beam cooling bed, the pipes are batch cut and transferred to an in-process storage area, where they are handled by computer-controlled gantry cranes.

Test & QC

Ultrasonic Inspection for Small-diameter Seamless Pipe
Ultrasonic inspection is in accordance with pulse-echo method using water gap method. Flow detection is performed by angle beam technique to date longitudinal and transverse flow on the inner and outer surface of pipe, and wall thickness measurement is performed by normal beam technique. The pipe, which is conveyed helically through the testing device, is inspected.

Electromagnetic Inspection for Large-diameter Seamless Pipe
Plug mill is equipped with an Amalog-Sonoscope, electromagnetic inspection units after heat treatment. The Amalog-Sonoscope pipe inspection system detects defects by using flux leakage by electromagnetic induction in search coil. Amalog magnetic circuits detect longitudinal defects in both the inside and outside surface. Sonoscope magnetic circuits detect circumferential defects.

Magnetic Particle Inspection
The tube is magnetized and provided with magnetic particles (mostly fluorescent magnetic particle). The presence of flaws creates a magnetic flux which shows changes in fluorescent brilliance under black light. The change is detected visually.

FAQ

Q1. What is carbon seamless steel pipe?

A1. Carbon seamless steel pipe is a hollow, joint-free structural steel tube manufactured via integral piercing and hot/cold forming. Compared with solid round steel, it features lighter weight and equal bending strength, making it a cost-effective structural steel material. Widely used for fluid transportation and mechanical component manufacturing, it is commonly applied in oil drilling, pipeline engineering, structural frames and industrial equipment fabrication with high stability and material utilization rate.

Q2. What are the other names and classification standards of seamless pipe?

A2. Carbon seamless steel pipe has multiple industry-standard trade names for global procurement and customs clearance, including Carbon Seamless Steel Pipe, CS SMLS Pipe, Black Seamless Pipe, MS Seamless Pipe and Fluid Seamless Pipe. It complies with mainstream global standards such as ASTM, GOST 8731/8732 and GB standards, covering ordinary black seamless pipe, precision bright pipe, boiler pipe and fluid pipe for different industrial scenarios.

Production of seamless steel pipe:
The process begins with solid steel rounds, or billets, being cut to a specified length and sent through a walking-beam reheat furnace, where temperatures reach nearly 2,300°F. After exiting the reheat furnace, the preheated rounds are turned into a tube shell in the rotary piercing mill as the billets are cross-rolled between two barrel-shaped rolls at a high speed. The seamless shells enter mandrel mill, where they are rolled over a retained mandrel to provide the needed OD size and wall thickness for the next process. The process is carefully monitored using a state-of-the-art hot-wall measuring system. The shells are then reheated for final forming in a 24-stand stretch-reducing mill, where outside diameters are formed to customers’ exacting specifications. Wall thickness is again verified using a hot-wall measuring system. After being rotated and advanced on the walking-beam cooling bed, the pipes are batch cut and transferred to an in-process storage area, where they are handled by computer-controlled gantry cranes.

Ultrasonic Inspection for Small-diameter Seamless Pipe
Ultrasonic inspection is in accordance with pulse-echo method using water gap method. Flow detection is performed by angle beam technique to date longitudinal and transverse flow on the inner and outer surface of pipe, and wall thickness measurement is performed by normal beam technique. The pipe, which is conveyed helically through the testing device, is inspected.

Electromagnetic Inspection for Large-diameter Seamless Pipe
Plug mill is equipped with an Amalog-Sonoscope, electromagnetic inspection units after heat treatment. The Amalog-Sonoscope pipe inspection system detects defects by using flux leakage by electromagnetic induction in search coil. Amalog magnetic circuits detect longitudinal defects in both the inside and outside surface. Sonoscope magnetic circuits detect circumferential defects.

Magnetic Particle Inspection
The tube is magnetized and provided with magnetic particles (mostly fluorescent magnetic particle). The presence of flaws creates a magnetic flux which shows changes in fluorescent brilliance under black light. The change is detected visually.
