- Hydrostatic testing of steel pipe and pipeline
A hydrostatic test is a way in which pressure vessels such as pipelines, plumbing, gas cylinders, boilers and fuel tanks can be tested for strength and leaks. The test involves filling the vessel or pipe system with a liquid, usually water, which may be dyed to aid in visual leak detection, and pressurization of the vessel to the specified test pressure. For hydrostatic testing purposes, there are two: one is the process of hydraulic test to test whether the leaking pipe, that test tube sealing performance; Another is confirmatory hydrostatic test to test the strength of steel adequacy. In general, low and medium pressure boiler pipe hydrostatic test is part of the process of the hydrostatic test, which is the density of material testing and inspect and whether the material is a continuous dense; it is not verify the strength tests. From the intensity of mechanics of materials theory, seamless steel components are thin and long, and its diameter is very small, even for thin-walled capillary tubes can withstand great pressure. That is to say, when low and medium pressure boiler tubes test pressure, even when there are deep cracks, can not happen leaking. Hydrostatic test is that many product specification test methods are available. This test can detect leakage of liquid from the inner wall of the case outward can be observed with the naked eye or with a pressure drop to determine. Hydrostatic test can not be found through-wall defects but very close or very close to the wall thickness in depth but not yet fully penetrated defects. Conducted for each pipe eddy current inspection after the low and medium pressure boiler pipe hydrostatic testing is not necessary to replace the hydrostatic test eddy current testing. Hydrostatic testing of Steel pipe is as follows: test section at the end of block, slow water injection, the tube gas discharge. after the steel tube filled with water, water tightness checks. made slow progress in steel pressure appropriate USES manual pump, booster time should not less than 10 min. stop pressure after test pressure, observe the 10 min, must not exceed 0.02 MPa pressure drop; Then put the testing pressure drop to the working pressure, steel pipe for visual inspection, leak-proof is not qualified. after arrival, steel pipe pressure, leakage and pressure drop more than a specified value, check the steel tube, after the reason to discharge the leakage, as stipulated in the above to test again, until it meets the requirements. the temperature is lower than 5 ℃ under the environment of water pressure and water capacity, reliable antifreezing measures should be taken, after the test, water should be put. Hydrostatic testing of Pipeline Hydrotesting of pipes, pipelines and vessels is performed to expose defective materials that have missed prior detection, ensure that any remaining defects are insignificant enough to allow operation at design pressures, expose possible leaks and serve as a final validation of the integrity of the constructed system. ASME B31.3 requires this testing to ensure tightness and strength. Buried high pressure oil and gas pipelines are tested for strength by pressurizing them to at least 125% of their maximum allowable working pressure (MAWP) at any point along their length. Since many long distance transmission pipelines are designed to have a steel hoop stress of 80% of specified minimum yield strength (SMYS) at MAOP, this means that the steel is stressed to SMYS and above during the testing, and test sections must be selected to ensure that excessive plastic deformation does not occur. Test pressures need not exceed a value that would produce a stress higher than yield stress at test temperature. ASME B31.3 section 345.4.2 (c) Other codes require a more onerous approach. BS PD 8010-2 requires testing to 150% of the design pressure – which should not be less than the MAOP plus surge and other incidental effects that will occur during normal operation. Leak testing is performed by balancing changes in the measured pressure in the test section against the theoretical pressure changes calculated from changes in the measured temperature of the test section. Australian standard AS2885.5 “Pipelines—Gas and liquid petroleum: Part 5: Field pressure testing” gives an excellent explanation of the factors involved.

- Hot-rolled seamless steel pipe deformed processes
Hot-rolled seamless steel pipe production base deformation process can be summarized as three stages: perforation, extension and finishing. The main purpose of the perforation process is to become a solid round billet piercing hollow shell. Capillary in the specifications, accuracy and surface quality can not meet the requirements of the finished product, further improvements are needed to deform the metal through. The main purpose of the stretching machine is further reduced sectional view (main compression wall) for a larger axial extension, so that the capillary improved dimensional accuracy, surface quality and organizational performance. After stretching machine rolled steel pipe shortage collectively need further molding mill in order to achieve the requirements of the finished pipe. Rolled steel due to pass in the method widely used in the production of seamless steel tubes. So far, due to the method pass rolling steel can be pided into two categories: core pension without rolling rolling (hollow body rolling), and with the mandrel. Sizing machines, reducing mill and stretch reducing mill belonging to the hole without mandrel type continuous rolling mills are generally coffin. Its main purpose is to reduce the diameter of the deformation process or sizing get finished steel, the wall thickness of process control, can make thinning, thickening or nearly unchanged. All the traditional hole-type rolling machine with mandrel belong to extend machine. The main purpose is to reduce the deformation process perforated capillary wall thickness and outer diameter roll passes in the deformation zone and the mandrel posed, for a larger axial extension. At the same time a certain improvement in the organization, performance, accuracy, surface quality.

- Hot forging and cold forging
Forging is one of the oldest metal shaping processes known to man. The process of forging metal involves beating or hammering a workpiece over or into a die, template, or jig, forcing the metal to flow into the desired shape. Forging is generally pided into three process types based on the temperatures to which the metal is heated prior to forging. These are hot, warm, and cold forging, with hot and warm processes employing workpiece temperatures ranging from several hundred degrees to over 2,000° Fahrenheit. Cold forging, on the other hand, sees the working steel heated to no more than three-tenths of its recrystallization temperature. Cold forging is one variation of the forging metal-shaping process that involves forming or shaping metal parts through a process of applying powerful, localized compressive forces. Cold forging is carried out with the metal generally kept at or slightly above room temperature with the temperature always maintained at or below three-tenths of the recrystallization temperature of the metal being shaped. The compressive forces involved in cold forging may be applied by hand with a hammer or by powered sources, such as dropforge machines. In most cases, the metal is forced into a die in the shape of the finished product or around open templates or jigs. Cold forging offers several distinct benefits over hot forging processes, which include better surface finish, improved dimensional stability, and lower production costs. Cold forging is defined as working a metal below its recrystallization temperature, but usually around room temperature. If the temperature is above 0.3 times the melting temperature (on an absolute scale) then it qualifies as warm forging. Hot forging is defined as working a metal above its recrystallization temperature. The main advantage of hot forging is that as the metal is deformed the strain-hardening effects are negated by the recrystallization process.
- What is the difference between the three types of pipe?
Seamless steel pipe market competition at present, due to the limitation of its production process, the production cost of seamless steel tube has been high, resulting in the gradual decline in its economic benefit. As China’s metallurgical industry technology progress, instead of the seamless steel tube new products also emergence, so new product whether meet the indicators of seamless steel tube? Between them and what is the nature of the difference? Here are two kinds of confusing products on the market, hot tension reducing the difference between steel pipe and straight seam welded pipe briefly. 1, the weld quality directly decides the quality of welded pipe, and the greatest difference between welded pipe and seamless pipe. Straight seam welded pipe after high frequency welding, straight seam cimc carbon can’t eliminate, weld and parent just join together, has not completely melt into an organic whole of yield to the test of time and high pressure. Hot tension reducing mill steel after high frequency welding pass overall 800 degrees high temperature heating, the overall annealing, then open change processing, after this series of process, weld and parent organizations have the same performance, completely melt into an organic whole, very well done from the slit to the seamless transition. 2, process of the product quality differences caused by different hot tension reducing mill steel after high frequency welding also conducted a straight seam welded pipe is no process: online to remove burrs inside and outside. of the existence of burr will affect tube fluid flow, burr blocking the normal flow of the fluid, resulting in a spiral. According to the principle of fluid mechanics, local pressure will increase, weld stress non-uniform welded pipe also greatly reduce the coefficient of insurance, hot tension reducing mill steel pipe production technology fully considers the burr is dangerous, for deburring, making it even wall thickness, and the seamless tube no difference in appearance. So from this point of view, hot tension reducing mill steel pipe also completed from the slit to the seamless transition. Of course, the difference between the two is not just limited to the above three points, but enough to explain the straight seam welded pipe and hot tension reducing pipe, there are great differences. The latter on the basis of straight seam welded pipe and the online clearing burr, inside and outside the overall heating , deformation and a series of new processing technology, making it have a qualitative leap, can be widely used in the field of in high pressure, and straight seam welded pipe of water gas delivery can only be limited to the low pressure environment. Although there are some people for seamless steel tube, hot tension reducing steel pipe, straight seam welded pipe and understanding in the fuzzy state, but believe that with the passage of time, the practice proved that people will recognize the hot tension reducing mill steel pipe products, this unique in the seamless pipe market is more and more bigger role, create greater economic benefits for the society!

- Difference between cold drawn tubes and cold rolled tubes
Cold rolled and cold drawn belongs to cold working process, but the molding process and the principle, process equipment, molding capability, for purposes are all different. Cold rolling is the temperature at a temperature below the recrystallization method of cold rolled slab thickness needs; cold drawn is the use of force to pull the metal timber from the hole in the processing method. Should be said that both the dimensional accuracy and surface finish almost, because in standard, cold drawn tubes and cold rolled tubes are generally uniform provisions, of course, the price is almost the same. However, the difference is that for the small size of the pipe, cold drawing method must be used to produce it. Cold drawn tubes for small sizes more suitable diameter of 150mm or more difficult to use than cold drawn up, there are no such large-diameter cold drawn tubes, the United States and South Korea are more common, drawing process better, seamless , so the price may be a little higher than the cold rolling.
- Disadvantages of galvanized steel pipe
Galvanized steel is steel that has been coated with zinc to prevent corrosion. The steel is submerged in hot, melted zinc, which triggers a chemical reaction that permanently bonds the zinc and steel together. During the galvanization process, the steel is first exposed to zinc at a temperature of approximately 860 degrees. The zinc reacts to available oxygen in the environment to form zinc oxide, which then forms zinc carbonate after reacting to carbon dioxide. Iron molecules in the steel react with the zinc, creating layers of metal that are able to withstand even long term contact with saltwater. Benefits of galvanized steel Because galvanized steel is coated with zinc, it offers many benefits over traditional steel or iron piping. The zinc coating drastically reduces corrosion and prevents minerals from depositing inside the pipe lines. In larger construction projects, such as sewer systems and farm irrigation, galvanized steel pipes are often the piping of choice and often remain in working order with little maintenance for 40 years or more. Galvanized steel is more flame resistant than PVC piping, and is stronger than aluminum piping. This type of metal also works well under freezing conditions. Disadvantages of galvanized steel In spite of its many benefits, there are some advantages of galvanized steel pipe. When mixed with yellow brass, galvanized steel triggers dezincification, and it results in electrolytic action when combined with nonferrous metals, such as copper and brass. Galvanized steel should never be used underground unless properly covered, which can be inconvenient for many jobs, and it often hides significant defects beneath the zinc coating on the steel. Galvanized steel pipes may contain lead, which corrodes quickly and reduces the lifespan of the piping. Moreover, galvanized steel may leave rough patches inside pipes, resulting in serious failures and stoppages that can be expensive to repair. Because of these issues, most modern homes use copper piping as an alternative. There are several such common defects and disadvantages of galvanized steel pipe: 1. gray zinc coating is the result of a mixture of iron and zinc alloy which caused; 2. galvanized steel surface to form a thick edge, which means that the edges of the zinc layer thicker than the middle part, it becomes a thick edge defects and not conducive to strip coiling. Thick edge is pided into high-speed and low-speed thick edge thick edge to form a thick edge is because the gas knife galvanized angle adjustment caused by poor air blowing, the formation of turbulence generated by appropriately adjusting the intensity air knife can be excluded this defect. 3. If clogging air knife gap will form an air knife marks, require a special cleaning tool to clean up. 4. galvanized steel zinc tablets appearing on the surface, that is, those that are not polished rough small particles, such small particles not only affect the appearance but also affect use. Formation of such particles is because too much zinc production by machines churning bottom ash floated adhere galvanized sheet surface temperature is too high there is so because the production of bottom ash float, in addition, zinc solution high aluminum, aluminum and zinc that have a good affinity, and thus together, adhere to the surface of galvanized sheet.
- Why not easy to corrode stainless steel pipe?
Why not easy to corrode stainless steel pipe? All metal and atmospheric oxygen in the reaction, formed in the surface oxide film. Unfortunately, in the ordinary carbon steel pipe on the formation of the oxidation iron oxide continue, kept expanding rust, eventually forming holes. Can use paint or resistant to oxidation of the metal (for example, zinc, chromium and nickel) on plating to ensure that the carbon steel pipe surface, however, as we know, the protection is only a thin film. If the cover was damaged, the following steel began to rust. Corrosion resistance of stainless steel pipe depends on chrome, but because of the chromium is one part of the steel, so the protection method is not the same. In the chromium content reaches 10.5%, atmospheric corrosion resistance of steel increased significantly, but the chromium content is higher, although still can raise corrosion resistance, but not obvious. Reason is that with chromium alloying of steel pipe processing, change the type of surface oxide became similar to that of pure chromium oxide is formed on the metal surface. This tight adhesion of the surface of the rich chromium oxide protection, to prevent further oxidation. This kind of extremely thin oxide layer, you can see on the surface of the steel pipe through natural luster, make the surface of the stainless steel pipe has a unique. And, if damaged surface, the exposed surface of the steel pipe and atmospheric response to repair itself, to form the oxide “passivation membrane, ” continued protection. Therefore, all stainless steel pipe elements have a common characteristic, namely the chromium content in more than 10.5%. Source: wilsonpipeline Pipe Industry Co., Limited (www.wilsonpipeline.com)
- The role of molybdenum elements in austenitic stainless steel pipe
In general, simple chromium nickel, and chromium manganese nitrogen austenitic stainless steel pipe not only used for rust and oxidation resistance of medium (such as nitric acid, etc.) conditions, the use of molybdenum austenitic stainless steel as the important alloy elements added to the further expansion of the use of steel, the effect of molybdenum is mainly in the reducing medium steel (than – H2SO4, H3PO4, and some organic acid and urea environment) corrosion resistance, and improve the pitting corrosion and crevice corrosion resistance and other properties of the steel. 1, molybdenum impact to the organization Chromium and molybdenum are the formation and stability of ferrite and expand in ferrite phase element, molybdenum and the ability of ferritic chromium. Also promotes molybdenum austenitic stainless steel pipe, intermetallic phase in the sigma phase, for example, kappa, predominate and Laves equal precipitation, corrosion resistance and mechanical properties of steel will produce adverse effect, plasticity, toughness, farewell is for keep the austenitic stainless steel pipe single austenitic organization, along with the increase of the content of molybdenum in steel austenite formed elements (such as nickel, nitrogen and manganese) levels will increase, in order to keep the steel ferrite and austenite balance between form elements. 2, molybdenum impact on performance Oxidation of the molybdenum in the austenitic stainless steel pipe was not significant, so when cr-ni austenitic stainless steel pipe in single austenitic organization and no intermetallic precipitation, the effect of molybdenum on the mechanical properties at room temperature is not big, but along with the increase of the content of molybdenum steel high temperature strength increase, such as persistent, creep properties are improved, thus containing molybdenum stainless steel tubes are often in high temperature applications, however, the addition of molybdenum make high temperature deformation resistance of steel increases, and often there is a small amount of delta ferrite in steel and molybdenum stainless steel of workability than does not contain molybdenum steel for the poor, and molybdenum content is higher, the hot working performance is bad, in addition, the molybdenum austenitic stainless steel easy one million kappa (sigma) precipitation, predominate in this will significantly worse plasticity and toughness of steel, therefore in molybdenum austenitic stainless steel production, equipment manufacturing and application in the process, must pay attention to prevent the formation of intermetallic phase in steel. Molybdenum in the austenitic stainless steel pipe, the main role is to improve the steel tube of the reducing medium corrosion resistance and resistance to corrosion, crevice corrosion resistance and other performance (304 stainless steel round) respectively on chrome molybdenum nickel austenitic stainless steel in nitric acid, sulfuric acid, acetic acid, phosphoric acid and urea, etc. The effect of medium corrosion resistance, it can be seen that, in addition to oxidizing medium HNO3 in place, the role of molybdenum are beneficial and therefore molybdenum austenitic stainless steel pipe generally don’t day nitric acid corrosion resistance, unless in the nitric acid containing F -, Cl – plasma, while the effect of alloying elements molybdenum reducing medium resistance of austenitic stainless steel tubes, the reason of surface corrosion and crevice corrosion is not entirely clear, but a lot of experimental has pointed out that corrosion resistant effect of molybdenum is only contains high amount of chromium in steel is effective, molybdenum mainly strengthening of chromium in steel corrosion effect, at the same time, the corrosion inhibition of molybdenum formed after acid salt have been experimentally. In resistance to stress corrosion of high concentration chloride solution, although molybdenum alloy elements on the reducing medium resistance of austenitic stainless steel of the resistance to pitting corrosion and crevice corrosion is not entirely clear, but a lot of experimental has pointed out that the effect of molybdenum only when contains high amount of chromium in steel is valid, molybdenum mainly strengthening of chromium in steel corrosion effect, at the same time, molybdenum salt molybdate formed after the cushion has been experimentally. Due to the more common cr-ni austenitic stainless steel pipe in water medium containing trace chlorine and oxygen saturation, the stress corrosion and pitting corrosion as origin, therefore molybdenum nickel chromium molybdenum austenitic stainless steel pipe due to pitting corrosion resistance is higher, so in practice often than does not contain molybdenum steel tube has better resistance to chloride stress corrosion performance.
