Hot Expanded
Seamless Steel Pipe – Premium Carbon Steel Tubing for Industrial and Infrastructure Projects Worldwide Engineered for exceptional performance in demanding environments, this high-grade hot expanded seamless
Steel Pipe delivers superior strength, dimensional accuracy, and long-term durability across global industrial and civil engineering applications. Unlike conventional welded or cold-formed alternatives, our advanced thermal expansion manufacturing process heats solid carbon steel billets to precise temperatures before rolling or drawing them into thinner-walled yet highly resilient tubing. This innovative method enhances material efficiency, minimizes waste, and significantly improves the strength-to-weight ratio—making it an ideal choice for large-diameter piping systems where structural integrity, precision, and environmental resistance are paramount. Key Features: - Extensive Outer Diameter Range: From 6 inches to 36 inches (DN15–DN900), enabling flexible integration into both standard and custom pipeline configurations - Versatile Wall Thickness Options: Between 4mm and 40mm, supporting low-pressure fluid transport up to heavy-duty load-bearing structures - International Compliance: Fully aligned with ASTM A53, API 5L, EN 10216, DIN 2448, GB/T 8163, BS 1387, and other globally recognized standards - Enhanced Surface Finish: Uniform roundness, smooth internal and external surfaces, and consistent microstructure for improved flow dynamics and corrosion resistance - Customizable Protective Coatings: Available in black paint, anti-rust oil, galvanized (hot or cold), or 3PE lining for extreme exposure conditions such as marine, arctic, or chemical environments The production begins with rotary piercing or pressure perforation of solid carbon steel billets, followed by controlled thermal expansion under optimized temperature profiles. This results in pipes with reduced residual stresses, enhanced mechanical properties, and fewer internal defects—ideal for high-pressure, high-temperature, or corrosive media like crude oil, natural gas, steam, brine, or wastewater. Every batch undergoes rigorous quality control including hydrostatic testing, ultrasonic flaw detection, and chemical composition verification to ensure full compliance with ISO, ASME, and JIS specifications. With a monthly capacity of up to 30,000 metric tons, we support rapid deployment without sacrificing consistency, safety, or regulatory alignment. This engineered solution is particularly suited for offshore platforms, petrochemical refineries, power generation plants, and heavy construction projects requiring robust structural frameworks or efficient fluid conveyance systems. Its adaptability in length (up to 12 meters per piece) and surface treatment allows engineers to meet specific site demands—from coastal salt exposure to sub-zero climates—while maintaining strict adherence to international codes such as ASME B31.3, EN 13480, and API RP 5LW. The eco-conscious design also contributes to sustainability goals by reducing energy consumption during manufacturing compared to traditional methods. Common Applications: - Medium-pressure pipelines for natural gas, water, steam, and petroleum products in municipal and industrial networks - Structural supports in scaffolding, bridge components, and building frameworks requiring high tensile strength - Coal gas distribution lines and district heating systems in urban infrastructure developments - Offshore risers, subsea manifolds, and marine platform components exposed to harsh oceanic conditions - Mounting brackets for pressure vessels, industrial machinery, and heavy equipment installations Users consistently report satisfaction due to ease of fabrication, minimal maintenance requirements, and decades-long service life even under extreme operational stress. Engineers value the ability to source tailored dimensions quickly while ensuring full compliance with global codes. The product’s inherent reliability and flexibility make it a preferred option for clients seeking durable, future-ready solutions in energy, construction, and heavy industry sectors worldwide. Frequently Asked Questions: How long does lead time typically take after order confirmation? Production generally starts within 20 days following deposit or letter of credit at sight. Can I request custom lengths or finishes? Yes—pipes can be cut to lengths up to 12 meters per piece, with options for black coating, varnish, galvanized layers, or multi-layer polyethylene protection based on environmental demands. What tests are performed before shipment? Each lot undergoes hydrostatic pressure testing, ultrasonic inspection for internal defects, and chemical analysis to verify alloy content and compliance with relevant codes. In summary, hot expanded seamless steel pipe represents a strategic fusion of innovation, sustainability, and industrial-grade performance. Whether used in energy infrastructure, civil engineering, or heavy machinery support, its adaptability across diverse operational contexts ensures reliable results globally. As industries increasingly prioritize efficient materials that meet evolving environmental and safety standards, this product stands out as a forward-looking choice for modern engineering solutions worldwide.
