Product Description
Stainless steel welded pipes are integral components in a wide range of industries due to their durability, corrosion resistance, and versatility. These pipes are fabricated through a welding process, joining stainless steel sheets or strips to form cylindrical tubes. Here's a comprehensive overview of stainless steel welded pipes:
Materials and Grades:
● 304 and 316 series: Common general-purpose stainless steel grades.
● 310/S and 310H: High-temperature-resistant stainless steel for furnace and heat-exchanger applications.
● 321 and 321H: Heat-resistant grades suitable for elevated temperature environments.
● 904L: Highly corrosion-resistant alloy for aggressive environments.
● S31803: Duplex stainless steel, offering both strength and corrosion resistance.
Manufacturing Process:
● Electric Fusion Welding (EFW): In this process, a longitudinal seam is welded by applying electrical energy to the welding arc.
● Submerged Arc Welding (SAW): Here, the weld is made by melting the edges with a continuous arc submerged in flux.
● High-Frequency Induction (HFI) Welding: This method employs high-frequency currents to create a weld seam in a continuous process.
Advantages:
● Corrosion Resistance: Resistant to a wide range of corrosive media and environments.
● Strength: High mechanical strength ensures structural integrity.
● Versatility: Available in various sizes, grades, and finishes to suit different applications.
● Hygiene: Well-suited for industries with stringent sanitary requirements.
● Longevity: Exhibits exceptional durability, resulting in extended service life.
In summary, stainless steel welded pipes are essential components across industries, providing durability, corrosion resistance, and versatility for a variety of applications. Proper selection of grade, manufacturing method, and adherence to industry standards are critical for ensuring optimal performance and safety of the welded pipe systems.

Packing & Shipping
Stainless steel pipes are packaged and shipped with utmost care to ensure their protection during transit. Here is a description of the packaging and shipping process:
Packaging:
● Protective Coating: Before packaging, stainless steel pipes are often coated with a layer of protective oil or film to prevent surface corrosion and damage.
● Bundling: Pipes of similar sizes and specifications are carefully bundled together. They are secured using straps, ropes, or plastic bands to prevent movement within the bundle.
● End Caps: Plastic or metal end caps are placed on both ends of the pipes to provide additional protection to the pipe ends and threads.
● Padding and Cushioning: Padding materials such as foam, bubble wrap, or corrugated cardboard are used to provide cushioning and prevent impact damage during transportation.
● Wooden Crates or Cases: In some cases, pipes may be packed in wooden crates or cases to provide extra protection against external forces and handling.
Shipping:
● Mode of Transportation: Stainless steel pipes are typically shipped using various modes of transportation such as trucks, ships, or air freight, depending on the destination and urgency.
● Containerization: Pipes may be loaded into shipping containers to ensure safe and organized transit. This also offers protection from weather conditions and external contaminants.
● Labeling and Documentation: Each package is labeled with essential information, including specifications, quantity, handling instructions, and destination details. Shipping documents are prepared for customs clearance and tracking.
● Customs Compliance: For international shipments, all necessary customs documentation is prepared to ensure smooth clearance at the destination.
● Secure Fastening: Within the transportation vehicle or container, pipes are securely fastened to prevent movement and minimize the risk of damage during transit.
● Tracking and Monitoring: Advanced tracking systems may be employed to monitor the location and condition of the shipment in real-time.
● Insurance: Depending on the value of the cargo, shipping insurance may be obtained to cover potential losses or damages during transit.
In summary, stainless steel pipes we produced will be packaged with protective measures and shipped using reliable transportation methods to ensure they reach their destination in optimal condition. Proper packaging and shipping procedures contribute to the integrity and quality of the delivered pipes.
