Inspection standard of seamless steel pipe

 Steel pipe geometry and shape inspection:

① Inspection of steel pipe wall thickness: micrometer, ultrasonic thickness gauge, no less than 8 points at both ends and record.

②Examination of steel pipe outer diameter and ovality: caliper, vernier caliper, ring gauge, measure the maximum and minimum points.

③ Steel pipe length inspection: steel tape measure, manual and automatic length measurement.

④ Inspection of steel pipe curvature: straightedge, level (1m), feeler gauge, thin wire to measure curvature per meter and full length curvature.

⑤ Inspection of bevel angle and blunt edge of steel pipe end face:


Square, card board. Steel pipe surface quality inspection: 100%

① Manual visual inspection: lighting conditions, standards, experience, signs, steel pipe rotation.

②Non-destructive inspection:

a. Ultrasonic flaw detection UT: It is more sensitive to the surface and internal crack defects of various materials with uniform materials.

　　 Standard: GB/T 5777-1996 Level: C5

b. Eddy current flaw detection ET: (electromagnetic induction) is mainly sensitive to point-shaped (hole-shaped) defects.

　　 Standard: GB/T 7735-2004 Level: Level B

c. Magnetic powder MT and magnetic flux leakage inspection: magnetic inspection, suitable for the detection of surface and near surface defects of ferromagnetic materials. Standard: GB/T 12606-1999 Level: C4

d. Electromagnetic ultrasonic flaw detection: No coupling medium is required, and it can be applied to high temperature, high speed, rough surface flaw detection of steel pipes.

e. Penetration inspection: fluorescence, coloring, and detection of surface defects of steel pipes.



Steel management performance inspection:

①Tensile test: measure the stress and deformation, determine the strength (YS, TS) and plasticity index (A, Z) of the material, longitudinal and transverse sample tube sections, arc, round sample (￠10, ￠12.5) small diameter , Thin-walled large-diameter, thick-walled calibration distance. Note: The elongation of the sample after breaking is related to the size of the sample GB/T 1760

②Impact test: CVN, notch C type, V type, work J value J/cm2 standard sample 10×10×55(mm) non-standard sample 5×10×55(mm) ③Hardness test: Brinell hardness HB , Rockwell hardness HRC, Vickers hardness HV, etc. ④Hydraulic test: test pressure, voltage stabilization time, p=2Sδ/D


Steel pipe process performance inspection: ① Flattening test: round specimen C-shaped specimen (S/D>0.15) H=(1+2)S/(∝+S/D)L=40～100mm deformation coefficient per unit length =0.07～0.08 ②Ring test: L=15mm, no cracks are qualified ③Flaring and crimping test: the top center taper is 30°, 40°, 60° ④Bending test: Can replace flattening test


Tips:

ASTM A500 is a carbon steel cold-formed round section and special-shaped section welded square pipe and seamless square pipe for structural use.

How to connect two seamless steel pipes?

Image
  There are many ways to connect two seamless steel pipes (eg: ASTM A106 steel pipe ) together, but generally speaking, there are two major ways: one is detachable connection, the other is non detachable connection. Detachable connection refers to the removal after installation. Non detachable connection is to connect two seamless steel pipes together forever. The most commonly used method of non detachable connection is welding. Two seamless steel pipes are welded together by various welding methods. This method costs less, but it requires higher working environment. If the pipe is too long or the diameter is too large, it is not convenient to work after welding together.   The most commonly used detachable connections are   1 . Flange connection (easy assembly and disassembly, strong versatility).   2 . Union connection (Union is divided into thread type and welding type)   3 . Special pipe joint connection (internal thread, external thread and other forms). ...

What are the test methods and procedures for flattening seamless steel pipes?

Image
 The process of making seamless steel pipes ( ASTM A106 GR.B ) is relatively cumbersome and rigorous. After the seamless steel pipe is produced, certain tests must be carried out. Do you know the method and procedure of the flattening test of seamless steel pipe? flatten the sample 1. The sample is cut from any part of the seamless steel pipe that has passed the visual inspection. The sample should be the full-loaded pipe section of the pipe product. 2. The length of the sample should not be less than 10mm, but not more than 100mm. The edge of the sample is allowed to be rounded or chamfered with a file or other methods. If the test result meets the test requirements, the edges of the sample may not be rounded or chamfered. 3. If you want to do it at the end of a full-length tube. During the test, the cut is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the tube at the length of the sample from the end of the tube, and the cutting depth is at least 80% of the outer diameter. Test equi...

What problems should be paid attention to when welding 16Mn seamless steel pipes?

Image
   The process of 16Mn seamless steel pipe processing is a more important step, and in many cases it is a series of complete steps. Because 16Mn seamless steel pipe is a useful type of steel, there are many production technologies that we need to master. One of the more important technologies is welding, because electric welding is indeed a difficult technical activity. It is generally necessary to pay attention to the relevant technology when it is time. The relevant technology and steps are stipulated as follows. We write it down for your reference only: (1) Check whether the water, electricity, and gas are connected, and connect them as required, and they cannot be loosened. Water, electricity, and gas are all dangerous factors in the welding process of special-shaped pipes, so they must be checked before welding. (2) Use related tools to clean the profile of the base material, that is, use a brush or sandpaper to completely cut the base material profile water, oil, oxides...
