GB/T 32970: Longitudinal Submerged-Arc Welded Steel Pipe For High Pressure Service At High Temperatures

Introduction

GB/T 32970 is the standard specification for longitudinal submerged-arc welded steel pipes used for high-pressure service at high temperatures. This standard provides guidelines for the material, specification, key features, chemical composition, mechanical properties, steel grade, application, and possible alternative grades of these pipes.

Material and Specification

The longitudinal submerged-arc welded steel pipes defined by GB/T 32970 are designed to withstand high pressure and extreme temperatures. They are typically produced using hot-rolled steel coils as the raw material. These pipes are manufactured through a process that involves preparing the steel coil, forming it into a cylindrical shape, welding it longitudinally using submerged arc welding techniques, and subsequent heat treatment.

Key Features

The GB/T 32970 standard guarantees key features of the longitudinal submerged-arc welded steel pipes. These features include:

1. High-pressure resistance: The pipes are built to withstand high levels of internal pressure, making them suitable for applications requiring high-pressure service.

2. High-temperature performance: These pipes exhibit excellent performance even at high temperatures, enabling their safe and efficient usage under extreme operating conditions.

3. Longitudinal welding: The pipes are manufactured using the submerged arc welding process, resulting in a strong and durable weld joint along the length of the pipe.

4. Consistent quality: GB/T 32970 outlines strict quality control measures to ensure the pipes meet the required specifications and expectations of high-pressure and high-temperature applications.

Mechanical Properties 

Steel Grade

The steel grade specified by GB/T 32970 for longitudinal submerged-arc welded steel pipes is dependent on the mechanical properties and chemical composition. Commonly used steel grades for these pipes include but are not limited to Q345, Q390, Q420, and Q460.

Application

Longitudinal submerged-arc welded steel pipes defined by GB/T 32970 are widely used in various industries and applications, including:

1. Petrochemical industry: These pipes are suitable for transporting oil, gas, and other petrochemical products under high pressure and high-temperature conditions.

2. Power generation: They are utilized in power plants for steam supply lines, where high-pressure and high-temperature environments are present.

3. Boiler systems: GB/T 32970-compliant pipes are employed for conveying steam or hot water in boiler systems operating at elevated pressures and temperatures.

4. Heat exchangers: These pipes are well-suited for heat exchanger applications, where efficient transfer of heat between fluids is required in high-pressure and high-temperature environments.

Possible Alternative Grades

While GB/T 32970 specifies the standard steel grades, alternative grades from other international standards may be considered based on specific requirements. Some possible alternative grades include ASTM A106 Grade B, API 5L X70, and DIN 17175 St35.8.
