Spiral steel pipe is a welded pipe made of strip steel coil as raw material, extruded at regular temperature, and welded by automatic double-wire double-sided submerged arc welding process. In the construction of spiral steel pipe (SSAW pipe), the quality of the joint directly affects the connection strength and sealing of the pipe. Here are some operating tips and key considerations for a seamless joint without misalignment.
1. Material preparation. Make sure that the surface of the spiral steel pipe is smooth and free from obvious rust and grease pollution. Clean and remove debris and contaminants that may affect the quality of the fit.
2. Close mouth design. According to the actual needs, choose the appropriate joint form. The common mouth forms include flat mouth, oblique mouth and V-shaped mouth. According to the working environment and requirements of the pipeline, select the appropriate platform form to ensure the firmness and sealing of the connection.
3. The incision is accurate. Use proper cutting tools to ensure accurate and even cuts. The accuracy of the joint cutting directly affects the quality of the joint and the reliability of the connection.
4. Preheating operation. For thick-walled spiral steel pipes, preheating is a key operation step. Through preheating, the plasticity of the material and the welding performance of the joint can be improved. According to the thickness and specifications of the material, carry out proper preheating treatment to ensure the quality of joint welding
5. Joint welding. Select the appropriate welding method and process parameters. Common welding methods include manual arc welding, submerged arc welding, and gas shielded welding. According to the specific situation, select the appropriate welding method, and strictly control the parameters such as welding current, voltage and welding speed to ensure the welding quality and the firmness of the joint.
6. Detection and repair. After the connection is completed, it is necessary to conduct a joint quality inspection. Discuss non-destructive testing methods, such as ultrasonic or ray testing, to detect whether there are defects and grains in the weld seam. If problems are found, repair them in time to ensure the integrity of the joint and the reliability of the connection.
Through reasonable operation skills and strict quality control, the joints of thick-walled spiral steel pipes can be connected without wrong edges. The following are some additional operating tips and precautions to ensure the quality of the joint and the effect of engineering construction:
1. Cleaning and deoxygenation. Prior to welding, the joint area should be thoroughly cleaned from grease, rust and contamination. In addition, oxygen removal treatment should be carried out to avoid oxidation reaction in the joint area and affect the welding quality.
2. Welding sequence. For longer spiral steel pipes, divide the joint area according to the actual situation and determine the welding sequence. A reasonable welding sequence can avoid welding stress concentration and deformation problems, and ensure the flatness of the joint and the firmness of the connection.
3. Control heat input. During the welding process, attention should be paid to controlling heat input to avoid excessive temperature and welding stress. Excessive heat input may cause deformation and cracks in the joint, affecting the quality of the connection. Through proper welding speed and moderate preheating operation, heat input is controlled to ensure welding quality and joint reliability.
4. Quality inspection. After the welding is completed, a comprehensive quality inspection is carried out. In addition to non-destructive testing, methods such as visual inspection and dimensional measurement can also be used to check the appearance quality, dimensional accuracy and weld integrity of the joint. If problems are found, repair or rework them in time.
By following the above-mentioned operation skills and precautions, it is possible to realize the joint-free connection of the spiral steel pipe with high degree of avoidance. The improvement of joint quality will ensure the safety, reliability and durability of the pipeline system, and promote the smooth progress of engineering projects.
