Seamless pipe maintenance and storage methods

Seamless pipe & tube (SMLS) maintenance and storage methods:

1. Anti-rust treatment
Seamless steel pipes are susceptible to oxidation, corrosion and other factors during the production, transportation and storage processes, so they must be rust-proofed. Commonly used anti-rust methods include spraying anti-rust paint, coating with anti-rust oil, surface galvanizing, etc. When choosing an anti-rust method, the choice should be based on the application environment and service life of the seamless steel pipe.

2. Regular inspection

In order to ensure the quality and service life of seamless pipes, they need to be inspected regularly. The inspection content includes appearance, size, physical performance, etc. If problems such as deformation, cracking, corrosion, cracks, etc. are found in seamless steel pipes, they should be repaired or replaced in time.

3. Storage environment
During the storage process of seamless pipes, it is necessary to pay attention to environmental hygiene, ventilation, drying and other factors. First, the storage environment should be kept dry to prevent seamless steel pipes from being exposed to moisture for a long time; secondly, attention should be paid to ventilation to prevent seamless steel pipes from being stacked together and unable to ventilate; finally, the storage area should be kept sanitary to avoid debris and dust. etc. will cause pollution to seamless pipes.

4. Avoid collision and friction
Seamless pipes are susceptible to collision and friction during transportation, loading and unloading, so collision and friction need to be avoided. During transportation, loading and unloading, attention should be paid to the use of appropriate equipment and tools to prevent friction and collision between seamless steel pipes and other items.

5. Regular cleaning and lubrication
Seamless pipes are easily affected by dirt during use, so they need to be cleaned regularly. At the same time, attention should be paid to lubrication of seamless steel pipes to avoid affecting the service life due to friction.

6. Precautions for storage and use

During the storage and use of seamless pipes, you also need to pay attention to the following matters: first, do not expose seamless pipes to sunlight for a long time; secondly, do not let seamless pipes be affected by deformation forces such as extrusion and bending; finally, Do not expose seamless steel pipes to oil, acid, alkali and other corrosive substances to avoid affecting the performance and life of seamless steel pipes.
