Why does precision steel pipe production need pickling

Update time : 2023-09-05 08:46:13

　　The role of pickling and passivation of precision steel pipes in the process of prefabrication, welding, testing, and heat treatment will cause iron oxide, welding slag, grease, and other dirt to accumulate on the surface of the pipes (carbon steel pipes, carbon copper pipes, stainless steel pipes), making the pipes Changes in corrosion resistance.

　　Pickling is a chemical de-rusting method: acid dilute de-rusting is mainly to remove metal oxides on the surface of stainless steel pipes for oxygen. For ferrous metals, it mainly refers to iron oxide, which is to make these metal oxides chemically react with acid solution and dissolve in acid solution, to achieve the purpose of rust removal.

　　Before pickling and derusting, the grease on the pipe wall of the stainless steel pipe should be removed first, because the presence of grease prevents the pickling solution from touching the pipe wall. Affects the rust removal effect. For oil-free pipelines (such as stainless steel pipelines for oxygen), degreasing must be carried out first. Pickling refers to the use of pickling solutions such as sulfuric acid to wash off the oxide layer and dust on the workpiece. The role of cleaning the surface Phosphating is a treatment method.

ASME B31.3 Steel Pipe Pressure and Wall Thickness Calculation

Oct .29.2026

　　The ASME B31.3 wall thickness of a steel pipe is directly related to its pressure-bearing capacity. Generally, the greater the wall thickness, the greater the pressure the pipe can withstand. this relationship is not a simple direct proportion; it requires precise calculation using standard formulas.Shengtian Group will introduce the most commonly used wall thickness calculation formulas in the American and Chinese standard systems, as well as the key parameters to consider during the calculation process.

ASME B36.10 / B36.19 Steel Pipe Dimensions & Sizes Chart

Oct .27.2026

ASME/ANSI B36.10 & B36.19 Steel Pipe Dimension 3 Characters:A completely description for steel pipe dimension includes outer diameter (OD), wall thickness (WT), pipe length (Normally 20 ft 6 meter, or 40 ft 12 meters).

EN 10219 S460MH Steel Pipe: Selection & Application

Oct .22.2026

EN 10219-1 is the European standard for cold-formed welded structural hollow sections. S460 is the high-strength grade within this standard. The “S” stands for structural steel, “460” means a minimum yield strength of 460 MPa, “M” means thermomechanical rolling, and “H” means hollow section.Shengtian Group this guide covers S460MH under EN 10219-1, as well as S460NH and S460NLH under EN 10210. You will find material data, size ranges, selection logic, driving suitability, and certification requirements.

How to Choose Carbon Steel Pipe Size?

Oct .20.2026

When selecting carbon steel pipe (CS Pipe) size, pipe diameter (NPS/DN), wall thickness (Schedule Number), and pressure rating are three interrelated core parameters. Their selection requires comprehensive calculation based on the system design pressure, flow rate, and medium characteristics.
