SSAW Steel Pipe
SSAW (Spiral Submerged Arc Welded) pipe is a high-strength welded steel pipe manufactured by helically coiling and welding hot-rolled steel strips using the submerged arc welding (SAW) process. It is widely used in oil & gas transportation, water supply, piling, and structural applications due to its excellent mechanical properties, cost-effectiveness, and large-diameter capabilities.
Specifications
Diameter Range: 219mm to 3,000mm (or customized sizes)
Wall Thickness: 5mm to 25mm (adjustable based on requirements)
Length: Typically 6m to 18m (or as per customer demand)
Standards: API 5L, ASTM A252, EN 10219, GB/T 9711, ISO 3183, etc.
Material & Grades
Carbon Steel: Q235, Q345 (ASTM A36, A572)
High-Strength Low-Alloy (HSLA): X42, X52, X60, X65, X70 (API 5L PSL1/PSL2)
Weather-Resistant Steel: ASTM A588 (for outdoor structures)

Key Features & Performance
High Strength & Durability: Suitable for high-pressure fluid transmission.
Excellent Weldability: Submerged arc welding ensures uniform, crack-resistant seams.
Flexible Sizes: Ideal for large-diameter pipelines (e.g., oil/gas transmission).
Corrosion Resistance: Optional coatings (3PE, FBE, galvanized) or anti-corrosion steel.
Cost-Effective: Lower production costs compared to LSAW for large diameters.
Applications
Oil & Gas: Long-distance pipelines, gathering lines.
Water Transmission: Municipal water supply, drainage systems.
Piling: Foundation support for bridges, buildings.
Structural Use: Bridge construction, port machinery, wind turbine towers.
Industrial: Slurry transport, mining, HVAC systems.
Packaging & Delivery
Packaging: Bundled with steel straps, plastic caps on ends (anti-rust).
Surface Treatment: Bare, black paint, or coated (as required).
Delivery Time: 15-30 days after order confirmation (depends on quantity).
