Choosing Welded Pipe Production Line: Application Fit and Specification Checks
Before you choose a welded pipe production line, set out your own requirements: finished pipe diameter, wall thickness, strip grade, cut length, length tolerance and the coil sizes your plant receives. This guide compares those requirements with the published specifications of the φ76–φ89 High Frequency Straight Seam Welded Pipe Production Line from BzZhou Xinghua Machinery Equipment Manufacturing Co.,LTD. Use it to see quickly whether the line fits your project and what to confirm with the supplier.
1. Start with the finished pipe range
The line is described as making electric welded steel pipes with:
Pipe diameter: φ76–φ89 mm
Wall thickness: 2.0–5.0 mm
Pipe length: 4–8 m
If your product mix falls outside φ76–φ89 mm, or you need walls thinner than 2.0 mm or thicker than 5.0 mm, this configuration does not match. Discuss a different specification with the supplier instead of assuming the range can be stretched.
2. Check strip material and dimensions
The published raw material requirements are:
Strip steel material: Q195–Q345
Strip width: 238–279 mm
Strip thickness: 2.0–5.0 mm, supplied as coil
If you buy strip to a different standard or grade designation, ask the supplier to confirm equivalence in writing. The product description does not cover this.
3. Match coil handling to your incoming coils
The entry section uses a single-station manual uncoiler with manual expansion and contraction. It is described as handling coils with:
Inner diameter Ф762 mm
Outer diameter Ф1800 mm
Belt width 280 mm
Weight 5 tons
Plants that receive heavier or larger coils, or that want a double-station or automated uncoiler, should raise this early. The listed configuration is manual and single-station.
4. Understand the strip joining and accumulation section
Shearing and welding: hydraulic cutting and a pneumatic pressing platform, with manual welding. The description states this excludes the welding machine, so budget and plan separately for strip-end joining equipment.
Four-roller delivery machine: gantry frame, upper and lower roller drive, cylinder pressure. Feeding rollers are Ф170 mm × 320 mm face width in GCr15. The drive motor is YCT250-4A at 18.5 kW, with a feeding speed of 140 m/min.
Cage looper: integral frame with fixed and movable frames, support rollers and tension rollers. It is adjustable to strip width and stores material so forming and sizing can run continuously.
5. Review the forming and sizing main machine
The main machine is listed as follows:
Welding pipe speed: 60–80 m/min
Main drive: DC motor Z4-280-42, 250 kW, 1 set, with a ZLY280-10 reducer
Stand arrangement: passive seven-roller leveling, feeding vertical roller, forming 7 flat and 8 vertical, sizing 6 flat and 6 vertical, then guiding, extrusion, scraping, a cooling water tank and 1 Turkish head (8 rollers, 4 per side)
Shafts: horizontal shaft Ф100 mm and vertical roller shaft Ф60 mm, both 40Cr, quenched and tempered. The extrusion roller shaft is Ф70 mm, 40Cr, quenched and tempered.
Gearbox: ZG35# housing with spiral bevel gear transmission, module m=12, gears in 20CrMnTi
The product title refers to high frequency straight seam welding. The published parameter list, however, gives no specification for the high frequency welder itself. Ask the supplier whether a welder is included and get its rating before you compare quotations.
6. Check cutting length and accuracy
The computer flying saw is described with:
Sawing pipe diameter Ф76–89 mm, wall thickness 2–5 mm
Fixed length 4–8 m, accuracy ±3 mm
Maximum 15 cuts/min, maximum running speed 80 m/min
Saw blade Ф900 mm, maximum trolley travel 2 m
Sawing motor (AC) 55 kW, driving motor (DC) 22 kW
Air pressure 5–7 kg/cm²
The overall line parameters list a length accuracy of 0–6 mm, while the flying saw section lists ±3 mm. Confirm which tolerance will be the contractual acceptance value for your order.
7. Confirm straightening capability
The straightening machine removes stress and bending after forming and welding. It uses a four-column frame with four upper passive rollers and two lower driven rollers. The upper rollers are pressed down by a manual worm gear. Listed parameters:
Motor 30 kW, straightening speed 100 m/min
Pipe diameter φ60–φ89 mm, wall thickness 2.0–5.0 mm
Straightening rollers φ220×400 mm (upper) and φ200×240 mm (lower), GCr15, HRC60–65
Roller angle to the pipe: 30°
Roller tables and stands are listed with customized drawings available.
Where this line does not apply
Seamless pipe: this is a straight seam welded line, not a seamless pipe production line.
Sizes outside φ76–φ89 mm or 2.0–5.0 mm wall: you need a different specification.
Specific pipe standards or end uses: the materials do not state compliance with any line pipe, gas pipe or other product standard, and do not list certifications. Do not assume suitability for welded line pipe service without separate confirmation.
Price, delivery time and installation scope: none of these are given in the product materials. Request them directly.
Pre-quotation checklist
Your target diameter, wall thickness and length range against φ76–φ89 mm, 2.0–5.0 mm and 4–8 m
Strip grade, width (238–279 mm) and coil ID/OD/weight against the uncoiler limits
Whether strip-end welding equipment and the high frequency welder are in scope
The required cut-length tolerance (0–6 mm line figure vs ±3 mm saw figure)
Your target line speed against 60–80 m/min
Roller table, stand and roller mold requirements for your layout
If your requirements match these points, the φ76–φ89 welded pipe production line is a reasonable candidate to discuss in detail with BzZhou Xinghua Machinery Equipment Manufacturing Co.,LTD.
