What’s pipeline steel

Pipeline steel is a kind of steel plate used for pipeline, which is mainly used in manufacturing line pipes for oil and gas, as well as coal and building material slurry. The steel is not only required of high compressive strength, but also required of a higher lower temperture toughness and excellent welding performance.

Modern pipeline steel belongs to low carbon or ultra-low carbon microalloy steel, which is a product with high technical content and high added value. All most all the new technological achievements in the field of metallury in the past 20 years have been applied in the production of pipeline steel. The development trend of pipeline engineering is large pipe diameter, high pressure gas-rich transportation, service environment of high cooling and corrosion, thick wall of submarine pipeline. Modern pipeline steels should therefore have high strength, low bauschinger effect, high toughness and brittle resistance, low weld carbon content and good weldability, and HIC and H2S corrosion resistance.
Pipeline steel plate

The pipeline steel plate is used to manufacture welded line pipes, because seamless line pipes are made of round bar, not steel plates. Medium thick plate is generally used to produce thick wall straight seam welded pipe, and the coil steel is used to produce electric resistane welded(ERW) pipe and spirally submerged arc welded(SSAW) pipe. Nowadays, more and more clients require pipeline steel plate to produce line pipes because the steel plates can be used to manufacture bigger diameter pipes, in addition, the price of welded pipes is usually lower than that of seamless pipes.

AHL STEEL provide qualified pipeline steel plates according to standand of API 5L, ISO 3183, and GB/T 9711.
