Spiral steel pipes have become popular in chemical, water, and electrical industrial projects because of many attributes such as ease of continuous bending, toughness, and ability to weather pressure. This article reviews some benefits of spiral welded steel pipes for your drainage project. New project managers might be interested in the qualities that make such pipes stand out from the rest in the steel pipe category.

Durability and Stability

Spiral welded pipes can withstand harsh climate and elements; therefore, ideal for use in drainage projects. Laying these pipes in areas with acidic soils does not affect their functionality. Spiral pipes can also handle alkaline conditions, which reduce the service life of your drainage pipeline. One factor that makes spiral welded pipes durable is that the fast cooling process during manufacture enables the components to be strong, which in turn enhances the weldability of the pipes. Welding defects that are synonymous with other types of tubes are eliminated because of the strong joints. The other advantage of spiral pipes is that they have higher welding power because of the diameter tolerance.

Easy to customize

Spiral welded pipes can be cut and welded to fit the requirements of a client's project. Depending on the type of drainage project, you can cut the coil into various diameters for movement of fluids at different levels. Besides, since such projects require pipes of different lengths and thickness, the spiral pipes are perfect for fitting at various sections of a drainage pipeline. Furthermore, the manufacturing process of delivering spiral welded steel pipes is uncomplicated compared to other production procedures.

Lead Time

Spiral steel pipes can be mass-produced to meet a broad range of demands by customers. If you get a large order of spiral tubes on a short deadline, you do not have to worry about taking long to deliver. Pipes are delivered to the site with all your specifications met; hence, minimal lead-time is needed for installation. However, note that some pipes might take longer because of the modifications and precision required to adhere to particular angles and structural integrity.

Quality Checks

The design, engineering, and manufacturing process that yields spiral pipes are state-of-the-heart. Moreover, advancement in rolling processes, machinery construction, welding, and nondestructive testing methods have made spiral welding products endure the taste of time. These production phases ensure that spiral welded pipes can withstand fluid pressure, which is a common factor in drainage projects.
