How much do you know about green steel-plastic composite pipe

With the development of the steel-plastic composite pipe, now widely used in the engineering construction as green liquid pipelines, take stainless steel pipe fittings as pipe socket, steel-plastic tube end as spigot, used for coated plastic pipe and stainless steel pipe fittings.
Liquid transportation plastic-steel composite pipes can give the rein to its excellent properties in terms of inspecting & controlling, tensile strength, bearing capacity, as well as on the anti-corrosive performance as water pipe.
Mutual cooperate of pipe sockets has made great convenience for the pipeline construction, reliable and simple connection mode, time-saving, manpower-saving and removable. Stainless steel pipe fitting socket structure is convenient for processing, with small equipment investment and low production cost.
Plastic coated steel pipe is used for conveying fluid such as water and beverages, particularly a lining plastic composite pipe. It includes metal pipe, zinc layer coated in the tube wall, the zinc layer closely integrated to the outer wall of non-toxic plastic thin wall pipe formed through powder coating as a whole. Due to the lining of non-toxic plastic thin wall pipe and galvanized layer to form an organic whole, the wall thickness can be very thin, not affecting the flow of fluid medium, is an alternative to existing galvanized steel pipe and steel model lining plastic composite pipe with low cost.

Influence of energy price fall for Nippon steel

Nippon steel, Japan's largest steelmakers expects that oil drilling industry with the demand of the seamless steel pipe is expected to decline 30%, but energy consumption reduction can offset the impact of falling demand.
Nippon steel is one of the world's major seamless steel pipe manufacturers, its main competitions are France steel pipe manufacturer tile Lu Ruike and Turner in Italy.
Nippon steel relevant personage says, the company plans to compress costs 50 billion yen this year, and will do their best to improve the overseas business profit at the same time, want to keep in the growth of the past three years.
Relevant agency predicted, this year's profits of Nippon steel will be increased by 6% up to 485 billion yen level, the contribution of the steel pipe business may be more than 20%.
Global crude oil prices achieve its lowest level in March this year for six years.
However, although energy prices fall results in a decrease of steel demand, it also lead to a lower production cost, such as the sea freight, as well as road transportation cost of the product is substantially reduced, Nippon steel hope the reduction of the cost is able to make up for the decline in profits from sales.

Thermal expansion seamless steel pipe market analysis

April is the traditional peak season of thermal expansion seamless steel pipe, but this season is not flourishing, steel market trend is still weak.
Some operators think steel market is still difficult to recover in May, however, thermal expansion seamless steel pipe price fall space is limited, or there will be a stop falling stabilization, steady rise in market and the overall better than April.
Specific reasons are as follows:
One, inventory is a steel inventories moved forward, steel plant to grow, the price war smoke rise;
Two, the thermal expansion seamless steel pipe production release production, output growth, excess supply to continue;
Three, is the downstream terminal demand situation change has yet to be observed;
Four, is the iron and steel materials such as iron ore market changes affect steel market;
Five, steel mills adjust price policy, influencing late thermal expansion seamless steel pipe market.
Considering above factors, it is expected the it’s difficult to "fire" in May, but will be somewhat better than in April, rebar, wire rod, hot-rolled coil, plate, thermal expansion seamless steel pipe price or will shake up.

All kinds of Anti-corrosion coating type for steel pipe

Fusion bonded epoxy powder coating is a new coating developed in recent 30 years, the use of electrostatic spraying coating epoxy powder coating, one time film forming. The coating has the characteristics of simple operation, no pollution, good coating impact resistance and good bending performance and high temperature resistant, has been widely used in foreign countries.
Main process:
Medium-frequency heating - Blasting - Grinding - Detection - Vaccum Cleaning - Medium-frequency heating - Powder - Water cooling - Coating detection.

2PE refers to the two layer PE anti corrosion pipe structure, the first layer of adhesive (AD), second layer of polyethylene (PE), two materials get fused and the thickness of each layer is the same as the three layer of PE.
3PE mainly refers to the three layer PE anti corrosion pipe structure: the first layer of epoxy powder (FBE>80um), second layer adhesive (AD) 170 to 250um, third layer polyethylene (PE) from 1.8 to 3.7mm. Three kinds of materials get fused and form firm excellent anti corrosion layer with steel pipe.
3PE main anti corrosion process:
Bare pipe - Medium-frequency heating - Blasting - Cleaning quality inspection - Medium-frequency heating - Powder spraying - Adhesive - PE - Water cooling - Coating detection - Stacks of steel pipe.

Coal tar epoxy anti corrosive paint is composed of epoxy resin, coal tar, anti-rust pigment, additives, modified amine. The product has characteristics of quick drying, good adhesion, good flexibility, two-component packaging, convenient construction, acid and alkali, salt resistance, water resistance, oil etc..
The paint has the mechanical strength of the epoxy resin, high adhesion, high chemical resistance and water resistance, erosion of asphalt characteristics of antimicrobial resistance, plant roots, is a kind of high performance anti-corrosion insulation coating for seamless steel pipe and welded steel pipe, the product has good chemical resistance, water resistance, suitable for the transportation of oil and gas, water pipelines, oil refineries, chemical plants, sewage treatment plant equipment and pipeline corrosion, can be used as offshore oil drilling platforms and ships at the lower part of the water and mine and anti-corrosion of underground facilities.

Demagnetization of SSAW steel pipe

In the pipeline industry, we are often encountered with magnetic steel pipe, steel pipe with magnetic and without demagnetization operation is hard to weld, and the welding precision is not high, therefore, steel pipe with magnetic must carry out demagnetization.
Steel demagnetization is actually very simple, can be divided into simple demagnetization and complex  demagnetization:
1, simple demagnetization: demagnetization coil wound on the pipe outside, alternating current on the coil, slowly decrease the AC (the slower the better), until reduced to zero. At the end of demagnetization. Results: not change the physical properties of the steel pipe, but once met the outer magnetic field again, the steel will be magnetized.
2, complex demagnetization: the heat treatment process can completely realize demagnetization, however, after the demagnetization of degaussing, hardness and rigidity of steel pipe will change, once meet the external magnetic field, after the magnetic field disappeared, the steel pipe will basically no remanence.
According to the above two kinds of way of steel demagnetization - single demagnetization and complexde magnetization, there is a common point that it can not contact with the strong magnetic field after the demagnetization, otherwise it will be again magnetized.
At present, large diameter SSAW steel pipe generally uses DC demagnetization coil, the demagnetization coil is added into the magnetic particle inspection machine, but the demagnetizing effect does not satisfy the customer, the problem lies in the DC demagnetizing field only generates half cycle reverse magnetic field, only can offset reverse part of the internal remanent large diameter SSAW steel pipe, its remanence stays within the required range, so the effect is not very stable. It can be achieved in the field, after handling, beaten, and exceed the standard magnetic field again. The reason is that the domain of large diameter spiral pipe to demagnetization without "internal magnetic exercise" is not very stable.
Large diameter SSAW steel pipe demagnetization
Remanence national standard is below 30GS, HT30D steel demagnetization system can be stable to pipe remanence of about 10GS, to avoid rebound of the remanence in the process of transportation.
