SSAW Pipe Applications and Market Overview

SSAW pipe (Spiral Submerged Arc Welded pipe) is widely used in infrastructure projects due to its cost-effectiveness and ability to produce large diameters.

Key applications include:

Long-Distance Transmission: Dominates cross-country oil/gas pipelines (e.g., China’s "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" projects like West-East Gas Pipeline). High demand for X70/X80 steel grades
Market Share: Accounts for >500,000 tons/year in China alone during pipeline construction booms
Municipal Water Systems: Used in large-diameter water mains and treatment plants due to corrosion resistance and structural strength
Flood Control: Applied in drainage and hydraulic engineering projects
Piling: Preferred for foundation piles in construction for its durability and load-bearing capacity.
Chemical Industry: Transporting non-corrosive chemicals where high pressure tolerance is not critical
4. Limitations & Mitigations
Avoid High-Pressure/Seismic Zones: Prone to residual stress and weld cracks during forming
Techniques like vibratory welding reduce stress
Complementarity with LSAW: LSAW handles high-pressure/seismic segments; SSAW suits cost-sensitive, stable terrains
