Application of different OD SMLS steel pipe

Seamless (SMLS) steel pipes are primarily used in various industries due to their strength and durability. Here are some key applications based on their outer diameter (OD).

General Applications

Petrochemical Cracking Tubes: Used in the petrochemical industry for cracking processes.

Boiler Tubes: Essential in the construction of boilers.

Pipes for Automotive Bearings: Used in automotive manufacturing for bearing components.

Petroleum Geology Drilling Pipes: Vital for drilling in the petroleum industry.

Precision Structural Tubes: Used in tractors, aviation, and other precision structural applications.

Small OD SMLS Steel Pipes

Small OD seamless steel pipes are commonly used in manufacturing with both side submerged arc welding technology. The production process includes bending, internal welding, commissural (joining), external welding, straightening, and flat top multi-channel processes to meet API standards.

Large OD SMLS Steel Pipes

Large OD seamless steel pipes with thick walls are versatile and used in various construction sites for structural support, such as:

Bridge Supports: Providing essential structural integrity.

Offshore Piling: Used in marine and offshore construction.

Building Piles: Supporting foundations and other construction elements. Additionally, these pipes are suitable for liquid transportation.

Tip

To calculate the weight of carbon steel pipes, use the formula:

Weight (kg/m)=[(OD−WT)×WT]×0.0246615

where OD is the outer diameter and WT is the wall thickness.
