Specification

Coatings & Protection

To resist corrosion (critical for buried or marine environments), API 5L Grade B spiral pipes often use:

3LPE (3-Layer Polyethylene): A common coating for soil or water immersion, combining epoxy primer, adhesive, and polyethylene top layer.

FBE (Fusion-Bonded Epoxy): A durable, thin coating for high-temperature or abrasive conditions.

Galvanization: For above-ground, non-critical applications (e.g., temporary pipelines).

Nominal Diameter (DN): 

Ranges from DN10 (10.2 mm OD) to DN600 (610 mm OD), with DN15-DN300 common for structural use.

Wall Thickness (WT): 

For hot-finished pipes, WT ranges 2.3 mm-40 mm with ±12.5% tolerance; cold-finished pipes have WT 1.5 mm-12 mm with ±10% tolerance.

Straightness:

≤1 mm/m for cold-finished pipes, ensuring easy installation in structural frameworks.

End Finish:

Plain ends (standard) or beveled ends (for welding), with squareness tolerance ≤1% of OD.

Applications

Oil & Gas Industry: Transmission pipelines for crude oil, natural gas, and refined products.

Water Infrastructure: Municipal water supply, wastewater treatment, and irrigation systems.

Industrial Pipelines: Transportation of chemicals, slurry, or steam in power plants and refineries.

Construction: Structural supports in bridges, piers, or offshore platforms (when coated for durability).

Grades

Grade A: Lowest carbon content, suitable for moderate temperatures.

Grade B: Most common grade, balances strength and weldability.

Grade C: Higher strength for elevated temperatures (rarely used).

Performance Advantages:

ASTM A106/A106M: A specification by ASTM International for seamless carbon steel pipes used in high-temperature and high-pressure applications, particularly in the oil, gas, and power industries.

"A106" (inch-pound units) and "A106M" (metric units) cover the same material with dimensional differences.

Designed for pipelines conveying fluids (e.g., steam, water, oil) where welding is required.

Manufacturing Process

Billet Heating: Steel billets are heated to ~2,200°F (1,204°C).

Piercing: A mandrel pierces the billet to form a hollow shell.

Rolling/Expanding: The shell is elongated and reduced in diameter via rolling mills.

Cold Drawing (optional): For precise dimensions and smooth surfaces.

Heat Treatment: Normalizing or annealing to refine grain structure.
