Introduction:
At present, my country's alloy pipe consumption accounts for only half of the total steel volume in developed countries. The expansion of the use of P22 alloy steel pipes provides a broader space for industry development. According to the research conducted by the Alloy Pipe Branch of the China Special Steel Association, in the future, the demand for long alloy steel pipes in my country will increase by 10-12% annually.
Seamless steel pipe:
Because of their different manufacturing processes, they are divided into two types: hot-rolled (extruded) seamless steel tubes and cold-drawn (rolled) seamless steel tubes. Cold drawn (rolled) tubes are divided into round tubes and special-shaped tubes.
a. Process overview
Hot rolling (extruded seamless steel tube): round tube billet → heating → piercing → three-roll cross rolling, continuous rolling or extrusion → tube removal → sizing (or reducing) → cooling → billet tube → straightening → water pressure Test (or flaw detection) → mark → warehousing.
Cold drawn (rolled) seamless steel pipe: round tube billet → heating → piercing → heading → annealing → pickling → oiling (copper plating) → multi-pass cold drawing (cold rolling) → billet tube → heat treatment → straightening → Hydraulic test (flaw detection) → mark → warehousing.

API SPEC5CT-1999 (Casing and Tubing Specification) is compiled and published by the American Petroleum Institute (American Petreleum Instiute, referred to as "API") and used in all parts of the world. Among them: Casing: the pipe that extends from the ground surface into the well and serves as the well wall lining. The pipes are connected by couplings. The main materials are steel grades such as J55, N80, and P110, and steel grades such as C90 and T95 that are resistant to hydrogen sulfide corrosion. Its low steel grade (J55, N80) can be welded steel pipe. Tubing: A pipe inserted into the casing from the ground surface to the oil layer. The pipes are connected by couplings or integrally. Its role is to pump oil from the oil layer to the ground through the oil pipe. The main materials are J55, N80, P110, and C90, which is resistant to hydrogen sulfide corrosion, compiled and issued by the American Petroleum Institute, and are used all over the world.
Line pipe: The oil, gas or water that is output from the ground is transported to the petroleum and natural gas industrial enterprises through the line pipe. Line pipes include seamless pipes and welded pipes. The pipe ends have flat ends, threaded ends and socket ends; the connection methods are end welding, coupling connection, socket connection, etc. The main material of the tube is B, X42, X56, X65, X70 and other steel grades.
