JCOE Welded Steel Pipe | JCOE UOE LSAW

JCOE is a type of technology used to produce Longitudinally Submerged Arc Welding (LSAW) steel pipes. The acronym “JCOE” stands for the sequence of the forming process involved in creating the pipe, which includes pressing the steel plate into a “J” shape (J), then into a “C” shape (C), followed by an “O” shape (O), and finally a cold expansion (E) to form the final pipe shape.

Here’s a brief overview of a JCOE LSAW pipe:

JCOE LSAW Pipe

• Manufacturing Process: The JCOE manufacturing process begins with a flat steel plate. This plate is first pressed into a “J” shape, then a “C” shape, followed by an “O” shape. After this, a cold expansion process is applied to form the final pipe shape. The edges of the pipe are then welded together using a submerged arc welding process.
• Material: Typically, these pipes are made from carbon steel, low alloy steels, or stainless steel. The specific material used will depend on the application and the requirements for strength, durability, and resistance to corrosion.
• Size: JCOE LSAW pipes can be produced in a wide range of sizes. The diameter of the pipes can range from around 16 inches (406.4 mm) to 60 inches (1524 mm). The wall thickness can also vary, typically ranging from 6.0 mm to 60 mm.
• Applications: These pipes are often used in the oil and gas industry for long-distance transportation of oil and natural gas. They are also used in construction for piling, and in the water supply and thermal power plant industries.

Here’s the information in table form:

| Property | Description |

As always, the specific properties and applications of a JCOE LSAW pipe can vary depending on the manufacturer and the specific requirements of the project.
