Longitudinal Submerged-arc Welded(LSAW) Pipe adopts submerged arc welding technology, using filler welding, particle protection flux buried arc.
LSAW is the English abbreviation of submerged arc welded straight seam steel pipe. The production process of submerged arc welded straight seam steel pipe includes JCOE forming technology, coil forming submerged arc welding technology and UOE forming technology.
The process of manufacturing Longitudinal Submerged-arc Welded(LSAW) Pipe is as follows:
Ultrasonic plate probing → edge milling → pre-bending → forming → Pre-welding → Internal welding→ External welding → Ultrasonic inspection → X-ray inspection → Expanding → hydraulic test →l. Chamfering → Ultrasonic inspection → X-ray inspection → magnetic particle inspection at tube end
The steel shall contain no more than 0.050 % phosphorous.

NDT(RT) Testing
Hydrostatic Testing
Mechanical Testing
Bending Test— a sufficient length of pipe shall stand being bent cold through 90° around a cylindrical mandrel.
Flattening test-although testing is not required ,pipe shall be capable of meeting the flattening test requirements.
Hydro-static test—except as allowed ,each length of pipe shall be subjected to the hydro-static test without leakage through the pipe wall.
Nondestructive electric test-as an alternative to the hydro-static test ,the full body of each pipe shall be tested with a nondestructive electric test . where nondestructive electric test is performed,the lengths shall be marked with the letters”NDE”
The ultrasonic testing
The eddy current examination
Pipe ordered under this specification is for pipe piles in which the steel cylinder acts as a permanent load-carrying member, or as a shell to form cast –in-place concrete piles.
Outside Diameter | The outside diameter of pipe piles shall not vary more than ±1% from the specified outside diameter. | ||
Wall thickness | The wall thickness at any point shall not be more than 12.5% under the specified nominal wall thickness. | ||
Lengths | Pipe piles shall be furnished in single random lengths, double random lengths, or in uniform lengths as specified in the purchase order, in accordance with the following limits: | Single random lengths | 16 to 25ft (4.88 to 7.62mm), inch |
Double random lengths | Over 25ft (7.62m) with a minimum average of 35ft (10.67m) | ||
Uniform lengths | length as specified with a permissible variation of ±1 in. | ||
Weight | Each length of pipe pile shall be weighed separately and its weight shall not vary more than 15% over or 5% under its theoretical weight, calculated using its length and its weight per unit length. |
