Spiral Welded Pipes

All the machines for manufacturing of spiral Welded Pipes have been imported from Byard Malaysia and Germany, who are world class manufactures of Spiral Pipe Plant machinery. The plant is situated at a strategic location in close proximity to the ports at kandla(22km) and Mundra (35km) which have adequate facilities for handling heavy cargos.

Manufacturing Process

HR Coils are loaded on the decoiler of the Spiral Pipe Mill. The strip is straightened and 100% coil is examined for any defects in the material by an automatic ultrasonic unit having of 36 probes & 144 channels. The edges are milled to desired joint geometry. The strip is guided into the forming station, where it is formed to produce a cylindrical hollow body at a predetermined forming angle, ensuring the proper welding gap between the abutting edges. Later, inside and outside welding is performed by an automatic submerged arc process.

After accomplishment of inside and outside welding, flux and slag from inside the pipes are cleaned. Pipes are cut to a predetermined length by an automatic plasma arc cutting device. The entire weld seam is scanned by Fluoroscopic Inspection / Real Time Radiography for analysis of the weld defects, if any. At the end facing machine, both ends of the pipes are machined simultaneously, to suit joint, to be used on the pipeline. Each pipe is hydrostatically tested to a given pressure as per API 5L specification or other desired specification.

100% weld length and HAZ of each pipe is examined by an automatic ultrasonic unit with the help of 16 probes and 16 channels for detecting the defects, if any. At the X-ray station, radiographs are taken of weld seam for each pipe end, to a distance of 4″. Every length of pipe is subjected to a rigorous check at the final stage before it is accepted by the Quality Control Department.
