Classification of Seamless Steel Pipes

1. Classification by Production Method

 

Parent Category Sub-category Description
Seamless Steel Pipe Hot Rolled Pipe Rolled after heating and piercing, with uniform wall thickness
Seamless Steel Pipe Cold Drawn / Cold Rolled Pipe Higher dimensional accuracy and better surface finish
Welded Steel Pipe Longitudinal Welded Pipe (ERW/LSAW) Formed by rolling steel plate with straight seam welding
Welded Steel Pipe Spiral Welded Pipe (SSAW) Formed by spiral rolling of steel strip and welded spirally
