Carbon steel pipe storage regulations

Preparation of carbon steel pipes before storage:
Before storage, carbon steel pipes should be cleaned and rust-removed to avoid moisture and polluted environments that accelerate surface corrosion, and at the same time, minimize friction and collision of carbon steel pipes.

Carbon steel pipe storage environment requirements:
1. Temperature: The storage environment of carbon steel pipes should be away from high temperature and humid environments and stored at room temperature.
2. Humidity: Carbon steel pipes should be stored in a dry, ventilated, and moisture-free environment to avoid excessive moisture, which may form oxides and pollution and affect the quality of the pipes.
3. Lighting: Avoid direct sunlight and long-term exposure to prevent the surface of carbon steel pipes from hardening, becoming brittle, and aging.
4. Chemicals such as strong acids, strong alkali and other harmful gases and liquids should be separated and protected to prevent accidents caused by chemical reactions or pollution.

5. Carbon steel pipes should be kept away from flammable, explosive and corrosive substances to prevent accidents.

Carbon steel pipe storage methods:
1. Vertical storage: Carbon steel pipes should be stored vertically to avoid contact between carbon steel pipes and the ground. The pipes can be properly separated to facilitate ventilation and heat dissipation. The air flow can blow away the moisture evaporated from the surface of the pipe to prevent corrosion of the galvanized layer. 

2. Horizontal storage: Carbon steel pipes should be stored horizontally, and the pipes should be properly separated to facilitate ventilation and heat dissipation, and avoid surface contact of carbon steel pipes.

Carbon steel pipe storage time:
In a suitable storage environment, carbon steel pipes can be stored for a long time, but the storage time should not be too long to avoid oxidation of the pipes, which will affect the appearance and service life.

What precautions should be taken when storing carbon steel welded pipes?
Carbon steel welded pipes are stored in a ventilated and dry warehouse, at least 0.3 meters above the ground. The temperature of carbon steel welded pipe and warehouse should be 10-25℃, and the relative humidity should be 50%. During transportation, handle it with care and do not throw it around, especially from high places. Carbon steel welded pipes that are affected by moisture, have discoloration of the coating, or have rust on the welding core must be dried for quality assessment and can be used and given priority.

Summarize:
This article introduces the requirements for the storage of carbon steel pipes, including details of storage environment, method, time, etc. During the specific transportation and storage process, relevant regulations need to be strictly observed to ensure the efficient operation and smooth progress of the industrial chain.
