The main connection methods for LSAW Steel Pipes (straight seam submerged arc welded steel pipes) are as follows:

1. Welding connection

Welding:

Directly connect the end faces of two steel pipes and use welding technology to firmly connect them.

Welding connection has the advantages of high strength, good sealing, and stable connection, and is one of the commonly used connection methods for LSAW steel pipes.

Socket welding:

Insert the end of one steel pipe into the socket of another steel pipe and connect it through welding process.

Socket welding connection is suitable for situations that require certain pressure or vibration, and has good strength and sealing properties.

2. Flange connection

Flat welding flange connection:

Connect two steel pipes together through flanges and bolts.

Flat welded flange connections have the advantages of easy installation, easy disassembly, and good sealing, making them suitable for situations that require frequent disassembly and maintenance.

Welding flange connection:

Similar to flat welding flange connection, but the connection method between the flange and the steel pipe is butt welding.

Welding flange connections have higher strength and sealing performance, and are suitable for harsh environments such as high pressure, high temperature, or corrosive media.

3. Threaded connection

Threaded joint connection:

Connect two steel pipes together through threaded joints.

Threaded connections have the advantages of easy installation and disassembly, but compared to welded connections and flange connections, their strength and sealing performance may be slightly inferior.

Threaded connections are typically used in low-pressure, room temperature, or less corrosive media.

4. Other connection methods

In addition to the common connection methods mentioned above, LSAW steel pipes can also be connected using special connection methods such as clamp connection and groove connection. These connection methods usually have the characteristics of easy and fast installation, but the strength and sealing may need to be selected according to specific application scenarios.

In summary, there are various connection methods for LSAW steel pipes, and the choice of connection method mainly depends on factors such as specific application scenarios, pressure levels, medium characteristics, and ease of installation and maintenance. In practical applications, comprehensive consideration and selection should be made based on specific circumstances.

Different connection methods and their corresponding applications

The different connection methods of LSAW steel pipes (straight seam submerged arc welded steel pipes) are suitable for different scenarios. The following is a detailed summary of various connection methods and their applicable scenarios:

1. Welding connection

Welding connection

Applicable scenarios: Mainly suitable for pipeline systems that need to withstand high pressure, vibration, or large temperature changes. For example, in industries such as petroleum, natural gas, and chemical, butt welding connections are widely used due to their high strength and stability.

Socket welding connection

Applicable scenarios: Suitable for situations that require a certain amount of pressure but relatively low, and require quick installation. For example, in municipal engineering, water supply and drainage systems, socket welding connections are widely used due to their convenient installation and low cost.

2. Flange connection

Flat welding flange connection

Applicable scenarios: Suitable for pipeline systems with low pressure and medium temperature, as well as situations that require frequent disassembly and maintenance. For example, in civil water supply and drainage systems, fire protection systems, etc., flat welded flange connections are widely used due to their easy disassembly and replacement characteristics.

Welding flange connection

Applicable scenarios: Suitable for pipeline systems with high pressure, high temperature, or corrosive media. For example, in key equipment connections in industries such as petroleum, chemical, and power, butt welded flange connections are highly favored due to their excellent sealing performance and strength.

3. Threaded connection

Applicable scenarios: Mainly suitable for small-diameter, low-pressure pipeline systems, as well as situations that require quick installation. For example, in household water pipelines, small mechanical equipment, etc., threaded connections are widely used due to their easy and fast installation characteristics.

4. Other connection methods

Card compression connection

Applicable scenarios: Suitable for situations that require quick installation, disassembly, and have certain requirements for sealing performance. For example, in water supply systems, gas systems, etc., compression connections have attracted attention due to their convenient installation and good sealing properties.

Groove connection

Applicable scenarios: Suitable for situations that require quick installation, disassembly, and low strength requirements for pipeline systems. For example, in fire protection systems, air conditioning systems, etc., groove connections are applied due to their easy installation and low cost.

In summary, there are various connection methods for LSAW steel pipes, each with its unique application scenarios and advantages and disadvantages. When choosing a connection method, comprehensive consideration and selection should be made based on specific application scenarios, pressure levels, medium characteristics, and ease of installation and maintenance.
