Acceptance Standards For LSAW Steel Pipes

Date:2023-10-25View:410Tags:lsaw steel pipe acceptance standards

LSAW (Longitudinal Submerged Arc Welding) straight seam steel pipe is a type of steel pipe commonly used in pipeline systems for transporting large volumes of liquids, gases and solids. Acceptance standards usually refer to a set of standards and conditions required by steel pipe manufacturers and engineering project specifications to ensure that the steel pipes produced meet specific quality standards and safety requirements. Today, United Steel Industry will introduce to you the general acceptance standards for LSAW straight seam steel pipes.


LSAW Steel Pipes


Size standard:

Acceptance criteria typically include dimensional requirements for LSAW steel pipe outer diameter, wall thickness, length and straightness. These requirements should comply with international or national standards, such as API 5L, etc.


Steel pipe material:

The acceptance criteria will clearly specify the material and steel grade of LSAW steel pipes. These specifications may include chemical composition, mechanical properties, impact properties, etc. of the steel pipe.


Welding quality:

The requirements for welding quality are crucial. Acceptance criteria usually include requirements for the absence of defects in the weld, the qualification of the welding line and welding process, the appearance and hardness of the weld, etc. Welding procedures must comply with specific specifications such as AWS D1.1 or other applicable standards.


Flaw detection and inspection:

Acceptance standards may require various non-destructive testing of LSAW steel pipes, such as ultrasonic testing, radiographic testing or magnetic particle testing to ensure there are no hidden welds or material defects.


Surface Quality:

The acceptance standards will stipulate the allowable defects and disallowed defects on the inner and outer surfaces of the steel pipe to ensure that the surface quality meets the requirements.


Markings and logos:

Acceptance criteria may include requirements for marking and identification of steel pipe to distinguish different batches and production information.


Bending and twisting:

Acceptance criteria may require measuring the bend and twist of LSAW steel pipe to ensure it meets the requirements in the specification.


Chemical composition and mechanical properties:

Acceptance standards usually specify the chemical composition and mechanical property requirements of LSAW steel pipes, such as tensile strength, yield strength, elongation, etc.

Packaging and shipping:

Acceptance criteria usually include requirements for steel pipe packaging and transportation to ensure that the steel pipe is not damaged during delivery and use.


It should be noted that the specific acceptance criteria for LSAW steel pipes may vary depending on the project, region and use. Therefore, when selecting and accepting LSAW straight seam steel pipes, applicable international, national and project specifications must be followed to ensure that they meet specific requirements. Acceptance is usually performed by the project's quality control department or a third-party inspection agency.
