Spiral Weld Pipe Making Plant

Abstract

The spiral weld pipes are manufactured from steel strip or plate by the Driam and Torrance patented process. The capital expenditure is quite low compared with other manufacturing process when and if the projected production capacity does not exceed 100,000 tones per year. Depending on the market situation, it will be necessary to limit the production and therefor a frequent changeover periods without tool changes are advantageous. Spiral weld pipe mill will save times and expenses occurring from the frequent tool changes. Pipe in any dimension and lengths can be produced continuously. From hot rolled strip of one dimension, pipes of a whole series of diameter can be manufactured without waste of materials resulting from cutting.
