The manufacturing and installation of steel pipes for gas lines are governed by rigorous standards set by organizations such as the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). The pipes are categorized by their specifications, including wall thickness, diameter, and material grade. Common standards, such as ASTM A53 and ASTM A106, outline the requirements for carbon steel pipes used in gas applications. Compliance with these standards ensures that the pipes can withstand the operational pressures and conditions they will face in the field.
2. Material Efficiency Roll forming is an inherently waste-reducing process. Because it involves continuous shaping of metal sheets, scrap material is minimized compared to other metalworking processes. This not only lowers costs but also aligns with sustainability efforts by reducing material consumption.
