ERW line pipe manufacturing process:
Straight seam high frequency welded line pipe (ERW) is formed by forming a hot-rolled coil through a forming machine. The skin effect and proximity effect of high-frequency current are used to heat and melt the edge of the pipe blank. Pressure welding is carried out under the action of a squeeze roller. Realize production. Carbon steel ERW welded pipes have simple production process, high production efficiency, many varieties and specifications, and less equipment, but their general strength is lower than seamless steel pipes.
API 5L is the standard for pipeline systems for the petroleum and natural gas industry, including the transportation of fluids such as petroleum, natural gas, water and oil. API 5L standards are divided into two levels, PSL1 and PSL2. The requirements of PSL1 level are relatively low, the testing requirements are not as stringent, and it is generally more cost-effective. The PSL2 level has higher technical requirements, including resistance to ductile fracture growth, sour service conditions and offshore service conditions.
