The process
is based on
the concept
of froming a
seam by electric
resistance or
electric induction
welding, where
the edges to
be welded are
mechanically
pressed together,
and the heat
for welding
is generated
by the resistance
to flow of the
electric current. The
process begins
with the cutting
of the strip
of the required
size on slitting
line and then
fed through
the Tube Mill
for formation
of pipe. Once
the formation
of pipe is done,
it is passed
through the
high frequency
welder where
the edges are
welded together. |
During the
process of welding,
because of immense
generation of
heat, there
is formation
of beads on
both the edges,
inside and outside
the pipes. Thes
beads are then
cut in order
to have unrestricted
flow of fluid/gas
inside the pipe. Thereafter,
pipes are cut
into the required
length and are
transferred
to finishing
sections for
further processing
and testing
of the pipes
like straightening,
End Chamfering/Facing,
Hydro-testing,
Non-destructive
Testing, Threading,
Galvanizing
etc., depending
on the requirement
of the customer. |
