The production process of API 5L A106/A53 seamless steel pipe is divided into the following steps: round tube blank → heating → perforation → three-roll cross rolling, continuous rolling or extrusion → tube removal → sizing (or diameter reduction) → cooling → straightening → hydraulic pressure Test (or flaw detection) → Mark → Warehouse. Seamless steel pipes are made from steel ingots or solid tube blanks that are perforated into capillary tubes, and then hot rolled, cold rolled or cold drawn.
API 5L A106/A53 Seamless steel pipes are mainly divided into: hot-rolled seamless steel pipes, cold-drawn seamless steel pipes, and cold-rolled seamless steel pipes.
The production process of cold-rolled seamless steel pipe is similar to that of cold-drawn seamless steel pipe. The difference is that the cold-drawing process is changed to a cold-rolling process. Generally, there are two-roller cold rolling and three-roller cold rolling, and some individuals have five-roller cold rolling. Cold rolling, there are many types of cold rolling machines.
