Manufacturing Process
Our thick wall stainless steel pipes are produced using advanced forming and processing techniques to meet strict strength and dimensional standards:
-
Selection of premium stainless steel billets or coils
-
Hot extrusion or cold drawing to desired wall thickness
-
Precision annealing and straightening
-
Surface treatment (pickling, polishing, sandblasting)
-
Dimensional inspection and mechanical testing
-
Optional NDT (ultrasonic, eddy current) for critical applications
-
Packing and documentation for industrial delivery
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What qualifies a pipe as a “thick wall” pipe?
A1: Generally, when the wall thickness exceeds 3mm (or has a high wall-to-diameter ratio), it is classified as a thick wall pipe, suitable for high-pressure applications.
Q2: Do you offer seamless or welded thick wall pipes?
A2: Yes, we offer both. Seamless pipes are ideal for high-pressure systems, while welded pipes provide cost-effective solutions for structural use.
Q3: What industries commonly use thick wall stainless steel pipes?
A3: Oil and gas, shipbuilding, power generation, mechanical manufacturing, and pressure equipment industries.
Q4: Can I request a specific wall thickness and diameter combination?
A4: Yes, we support full customization based on your drawings or technical specifications.
Q5: How do you ensure product quality for demanding environments?
A5: We perform strict dimensional checks, mechanical testing, and offer NDT such as ultrasonic or eddy current inspection. Third-party inspection is also supported.
