Form
Coil is uncoiled, flattened and helically formed into pipe, then tack welded.
Pipe is the beginning.

HSAW pipe, coatings, fabrication and logistics. Define the technical and commercial requirements in one conversation.
HSAW pipe.
Helical submerged arc welded steel pipe, manufactured to the dimensional, material and testing requirements of the project.
Our two-step mill supports API/ISO, ASTM and AWWA pipe requirements, including applications with sour-service requirements.
Standard lengths are available at 40, 60 and 80 feet. Discuss custom lengths and the combination of diameter, wall and grade with our team.

Availability depends on the combination of diameter, wall, grade and project requirements. Confirm your specification with our sales team.
From steel coil to finished pipe.
A two-step manufacturing route separates forming from final welding.
Weld
Inside and outside spiral seams are submerged arc welded on four welding lines.
Inspect
Welds and pipe bodies undergo inspections and testing to the applicable specification.
Finish & deliver
Coating, end preparation and delivery planning complete the project scope.
Dedicated welding capability.
Four submerged arc welding lines weld the internal and external spiral seams. Digital welding systems and optical seam tracking support the manufacturing process.
Hydrostatic testing, automated ultrasonic inspection and radiography support the requirements of the applicable order. The in-house laboratory performs mechanical and chemical evaluation.
