Longitudinally welded tubular hollow sections
Longitudinally welded tubular hollow sections are manufactured from steel plate by using various bending methods to form a tube. This method of fabrication is suited to high value added heavy wall or large diameter structural and non-structural applications.
Size range:
- Outside diameter up to and greater than 3000mm
- Wall thickness up to 80mm (heavier on request)
- Unspliced length up to 16m
Characteristics and key benefits:
- Wide range of steel grades and manufacturing standards available
- Heavy wall
- Option to incorporate:
- pile shoes to facilitate pile driving
- internal lining and external protective coatings
- clutches, shear key rings or other fabricated components
Typical applications:
- Pipes – typically used in pipelines for conducting liquid or gas
- Piles – bearing elements for foundations typically within civil and marine environments
- Casings for concrete piles
- Components within mechanical systems and high pressure / temperature processes
- Oil & petroleum casings
