SSAW steel pipe also has its own shortcomings, spiral steel hollow section is used as a large number of pipeline fluids, such as transportation of oil, natural gas, gas, water and some solid materials, pipes and so on. Compared to other steel and solid steel bar, the same torsional strength in bending, lighter, is an economic cross-section steel, widely used in the manufacture of structural parts and mechanical parts, such as drill pipe, automotive drive shafts, bicycle rack and construction using steel scaffolding.
Steel pipe manufacturing annular parts, can improve material utilization, simplify the manufacturing process, saving material and machining time, such as bearing rings, jack sets, has been widely used to make steel. Steel or a variety of conventional weapons indispensable material, barrel, barrel would have to make steel. Pipe according to different cross-sectional shapes can be divided into tube and shaped tubes. Because in the perimeter of equal conditions, the largest area of a circle with a circular tube can carry more fluid. In addition, the circular cross section to withstand internal or external radial pressure, the force is uniform, so the vast majority of pipe is pipe.
However, the tube also has some limitations, such as under the conditions by plane bending, tube as good as square, rectangular tube large flexural strength, the skeleton of some farm machinery, steel and wood furniture on the popular square, rectangular tube. According to different uses should also have other special-shaped pipe cross-sectional shape.
