SSAW (spiral submerged arc welded) steel pipe is a type of welded steel pipe that is made by rolling a low carbon structural steel or low alloy structural steel strip into a tube shape, and then welding the seam using submerged arc welding technology.
API X42 SSAW steel pipe refers to a type of steel pipe that meets the specifications of API 5L Grade X42 and is manufactured using the Spiral Submerged Arc Welding (SSAW) process.
API 5L Grade X42 is a commonly used grade specified in API 5L. It has a minimum yield strength of 42,000 psi (290 MPa) and a minimum tensile strength of 60,000 psi (415 MPa). Grade X42 pipes are suitable for applications where medium to high strength and good weldability are required.
API X42 SSAW steel pipes undergo stringent quality control measures during manufacturing to ensure compliance with the specified API 5L requirements. This includes testing for dimensions, mechanical properties, chemical composition, non-destructive test…
