We supply spiral-welded pipe for project material schedules, with selected OD and wall combinations from 219.1 to 813 mm and 6 or 12 m lengths. API 5L Grade B line-pipe selections are shown on our line-pipe page. Water-line and pile requirements are priced as drawing- and specification-based orders.
Water-line supply can include the specified internal lining and external protection. Pipe-pile supply follows the structural grade, finished lengths and splice or attachment drawings.
Water Conveyance
A water-pipe purchase separates the steel shell from the internal lining and external corrosion protection. Potable-water approvals, where required, apply to the specified system and cannot be inferred from a zinc or painted surface.

Tubular Piles & Structural Members
For pipe piles, the end joint and installed length matter alongside diameter and wall. Splice details, pile shoes or fabricated attachments need the project drawing; they are separate work from supplying straight bare pipe.

Prepare the Pipe for Its Joint & Exposure
Long spiral-pipe sections are prepared for the specified joint, coating and handling arrangement. End cutbacks and protected contact points keep finished surfaces clear of the work needed on site.
Pipe Ends & Fabrication Details
Butt-weld line pipe needs a specified bevel and end fit-up. Pile sections may need a different splice detail. We separate those preparations from the base pipe price and use the relevant drawing for fabricated work.
Cut length
Length and quantity identified for each pipe section
End joint
Plain or beveled ends, or a separately detailed splice
Attachments
Drawing-defined shoes, plates or other fabrication quoted separately
Internal Lining & External Coating
Internal lining and external corrosion protection are quoted separately. Each system retains its surface preparation, acceptance requirements and pipe-end treatment.
Lining system
Compatibility and acceptance requirements for the conveyed medium
External protection
Specified preparation, coating system and inspection scope
Field joints
Uncoated end lengths coordinated with joining and repair work
Spiral-Seam Production & Inspection
Inspection follows the spiral seam along the pipe and checks the body dimensions and prepared ends. Fabricated openings are reviewed against the seam position before cutting.
Coil Forming & Submerged-Arc Welding
Coil is formed at an angle into the pipe diameter and welded along the spiral joint. The forming setup and strip dimensions determine the resulting pipe geometry.
Seam Coverage & Pipe Shape
The inspection plan identifies weld examination, pipe dimensions and required pressure or mechanical tests. Coating inspection follows its own acceptance scope after the pipe is prepared.
Material Identity
Coil and heat references connect the pipe to the ordered material grade.
Spiral Weld
Examination follows the seam and the applicable acceptance criteria.
Joint Dimensions
End roundness, wall and bevel condition affect field alignment and welding.
Delivered Finish
Lining and coating records identify the systems actually included in the order.
Pack Spiral Pipe Around the Finished Surface
Body Supports
Supports carry the pipe without concentrating the load on a prepared end or finished lining. Restraints keep long sections stable during transport.
Coating Contact Areas
Protected contact points help prevent lifting gear and adjacent pipe from cutting into the coating. End cutbacks remain identifiable for site joining.
Receiving by Construction Lot
Pipe references, lengths and quantities are listed by delivery lot. A piling order can be separated by installed section sequence; a water line by the project release schedule.
Factory production and shipment planning
The quote covers the selected pipe, lining or coating work and shipment arrangement. Bare-pipe and finished-coated orders retain their own processing and delivery scope.
SSAW Steel Pipe FAQ
Is SSAW the same as SAWH?
Yes. SSAW and SAWH describe the helical submerged-arc-welded route. The order still identifies the material grade, dimensions and acceptance requirements for the intended service.
Can I order a diameter not shown here?
Yes. Send the actual OD and wall with the application and quantity. The selected rows make the catalog easier to read; they are not a complete production schedule or a stock list.
Can a spiral seam cross a fabricated opening?
That detail needs the fabrication drawing and applicable design requirements. The seam position changes along the pipe, so opening locations and any reinforcement or examination must be reviewed together before cutting.
Should the quantity be stated in pieces or meters?
List the piece count and finished length for each size. If your schedule uses total meters, include the required length per piece as well. Our quotation keeps those quantities on the same line so the supply and receiving totals can be compared.
Can pile shoes or fabricated attachments accompany the pipe?
They can be reviewed as separate fabricated items alongside the straight pipe. The project drawing identifies their geometry, material, connection detail and quantity; they are priced separately from the base pipe.
