Tips for Purchasing Seamless Pipes

When purchasing stainless steel seamless pipe, the following aspects should be paid attention to:

First, establish the criteria, then comprehend the application: Before purchasing seamless pipe, please ascertain your precise needs, including size, length, and material type. Additionally, understanding the use of seamless pipe can assist you in making the best material and quality decisions. The two ends of a qualified seamless steel pipe should be perpendicular to the axis, and the cut should be free of burrs when measuring the size of the pipe. The pipe can be placed on a flat surface and rolled to observe the size and change of the gap between it and the ground.

Second, consider quality: Be sure to choose premium seamless pipes from reliable vendors or manufacturers. The passivation film on the inner and outer surfaces of pickled steel pipes should be complete, the inner and outer surfaces of high-quality stainless steel seamless steel pipes should be flat without cracks, folding, scarring, or other defects, and the surface of the steel pipe should have clear and detailed product information spray codes.

Third, consider the standards and certifications: confirm that the seamless pipe complies with industry standards and certifications like ASTM and ASME, and further confirm whether the purchased steel pipe complies with the design requirements or pertinent technical specifications by looking at the manufacturer’s name, production date, production (furnace) batch number, manufacturing standard, factory inspection items, manufacturing seal, inspection special seal, and other information.

Four, inspect for flaws: Before accepting the supplier’s seamless pipe, inspect it for flaws like cracks, rust, or distortion.

Five, packaging and shipping: make sure the seamless tube packaging and shipping are correct to avoid damage while being transported.
