Steel pipe knowledge: Seamless carbon steel pipe

Seamless carbon steel pipe (English) is made of steel ingots or solid billets made of perforated tubes, and then made by hot rolling, cold rolling or cold drawing. Seamless carbon steel pipe has an important position in China's steel pipe industry.
According to incomplete statistics, there are about 240 seamless carbon steel pipe production enterprises in China, and about 250 sets of seamless carbon steel pipe units, with an annual production capacity of more than 4.5 million tons. From the point of view, <φ76, accounting for 35%, <φ159-650, accounting for 25%. From the perspective of varieties, general-purpose pipes are 1.9 million tons, accounting for 54%; petroleum pipes are 760,000 tons, accounting for 5.7%; hydraulic props and precision pipes are 150,000 tons, accounting for 4.3%; stainless pipes, bearing pipes, and automobile pipes total 50,000 Ton, accounting for 1.4%.
The raw material of the seamless carbon steel tube is a round tube blank. The round tube blank is cut into a length of about 1 meter through a cutting machine, and is sent to a furnace for heating by a conveyor belt. The billets are heated in a furnace and the temperature is about 1200 degrees Celsius. The fuel is hydrogen or acetylene. Furnace temperature control is a key issue. After the tube blanks are released, they are put through the pressure puncher. The most common punching machine is a conical roller puncher. This puncher has high production efficiency, good product quality, large perforation diameter, and can wear a variety of steel types. After piercing, the round billet is successively rolled, rolled or extruded by three rolls. After squeezing, take off the sizing. The sizing machine drills through the cone at a high speed into the steel die to form a steel pipe. The inner diameter of the steel pipe is determined by the outer diameter length of the sizing machine drill. After the steel pipe is sizing, it enters the cooling tower and is cooled by spraying water. After the steel pipe is cooled, it must be straightened. After straightening the steel pipe, it is sent to the metal detector (or hydraulic pressure test) by the conveyor belt for internal inspection. If there are cracks inside the pipe, air bubbles and other problems will be detected. After the quality inspection of steel pipes, strict manual selection is also required. After the quality inspection of the steel pipe, the paint is sprayed with the serial number, specifications and production lot number. And lifted into the warehouse by a crane.

Rotary Rings

Rotary Rings are a type of rotating seal widely used in various rotating equipment, such as rotary joints, rotary couplings, rotary connectors, etc. Its main function is to prevent liquid or gas leakage and maintain the normal operation of the equipment. In different applications, the material, structure, sealing method, size, etc. of Rotary Rings vary to adapt to different working conditions.


1. Material classification

The materials of Rotary Rings are mainly divided into two categories: metallic and non-metallic.


1. Metal materials

Metal materials mainly include stainless steel, steel, copper, aluminum, etc., which have characteristics of high strength, corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and are suitable for rotary seals in harsh environments such as high temperature, high pressure, and high-speed.


2. Non metallic materials

Non metallic materials mainly include ceramics, silicon carbide, graphite, etc., which have characteristics such as high hardness, high wear resistance, and low friction coefficient. They are suitable for rotary seals under conditions such as low temperature, low pressure, and high speed.


2. Structural classification
The structure of Rotary Rings is mainly divided into three types: unidirectional rotation, bidirectional rotation, and rotational stationary.
1. Unidirectional rotating structure

The Rotary Rings with a unidirectional rotation structure can only rotate in one direction and are suitable for devices with only unidirectional rotation.


2. Bidirectional rotation structure

The Rotary Rings with a bidirectional rotation structure can rotate in two directions, suitable for devices that require bidirectional rotation.


3. Rotating stationary structure

The Rotary Rings with a rotating stationary structure are composed of a rotating ring and a stationary ring. The rotating ring contacts the stationary ring during rotation to achieve sealing, suitable for equipment that requires a rotating stationary seal.


3. Classification of sealing methods

The sealing methods of Rotary Rings are mainly divided into mechanical sealing and liquid sealing.


1. Mechanical seal

Mechanical sealing is achieved through the contact surface between the rotating ring and the stationary ring, which has the characteristics of high reliability, long service life, and simple maintenance. It is suitable for rotary sealing in harsh environments such as high speed, high temperature, and high pressure.


2. Liquid sealing

Liquid sealing is achieved by injecting liquid between the rotating ring and the stationary ring, which has the characteristics of good sealing performance, low friction coefficient, and preventing dry friction. It is suitable for rotary sealing under low speed, low temperature, low pressure, and other conditions.


4. Size classification

The size of Rotary Rings is mainly determined by the equipment requirements, including inner diameter, outer diameter, thickness, shaft diameter, etc.


Rotary Rings, as an important type of rotary seal, are widely used, with different materials, structures, sealing methods, dimensions, etc. to adapt to different working conditions. When selecting Rotary Rings, it is necessary to make the selection based on specific equipment requirements to ensure the normal operation of the equipment.
