Precautions for storage and transportation of seamless pipes

Precautions for storage and transportation of seamless pipes

As a common industrial material, seamless carbon steel pipes are widely used in construction, petrochemical, energy and other industries. During transportation and storage, there are some key things to pay attention to to ensure its quality and safety. Below, the seamless pipe manufacturer will introduce to you the transportation and storage precautions for seamless pipes.

1) Things to note when transporting seamless steel pipes

1. Pre-inspection: Before shipping seamless steel pipes, the goods must be inspected. The inspection content includes appearance integrity, dimensional specifications, quality, etc. Any issues that may affect the quality and safety of the goods should be resolved before shipment.
2. Packaging protection: Seamless steel pipes are easily affected by external influences such as impact, extrusion, and scratches during transportation, so they need to be protected by appropriate packaging materials. The packaging should be strong and reliable, and can effectively reduce the impact of vibration and friction on the goods.

3. Reasonable placement: Seamless steel pipes that are too long should be shortened appropriately during transportation to avoid tailing. Goods should be placed stably and try to avoid tilting and rolling.
4. Anti-rust treatment: Seamless steel pipes are susceptible to corrosion in humid environments, so anti-rust measures need to be taken during transportation. This can include methods such as using a waterproof membrane, rust-proof paper or wiping the surface with rust-proof oil.
5. High temperature protection: In summer or high temperature seasons, especially during long-term transportation, corresponding measures should be taken to prevent seamless steel pipes from deforming due to high temperatures.

2) Precautions for storage of seamless steel pipes

1. Choose a storage location: Seamless steel pipes should be stored in a dry, ventilated, and clean place, away from acid and alkali substances and corrosive gases. The place should be equipped with moisture-proof, dust-proof, and anti-vibration measures to ensure that the goods are not damaged during long-term storage.

2. Stacking method: Pay attention to stability and balance when stacking seamless steel pipes. Appropriate support measures should be used to evenly distribute gravity and avoid bending or deformation. Seamless steel pipes cannot be stacked directly on the ground. Wooden boards or steel plates should be used for separation.

3. Protective measures: When storing seamless steel pipes, they need to be covered with covers or plastic films to avoid erosion of the goods by dust, rain, etc. In addition, regular inspections should be carried out to remove blockages or dirt in a timely manner.

4. Regular flipping: In order to avoid deformation and corrosion of seamless steel pipes caused by long-term storage, it is recommended to turn over regularly during storage. This helps balance gravity and maintain the shape and quality of seamless steel pipes.

5. Reasonable labeling: Seamless steel pipes should be well labeled when stored, including product specifications, batches, production dates and other important information to facilitate management and identification during use. At the same time, it is also convenient to understand the storage status and usage of the goods.

Summarize:

Precautions for transportation and storage of seamless steel pipes are of great significance to ensure the quality and safety of the goods. Pay attention to packaging, protection, and placement during transportation, and pay attention to the environment and flipping during storage, which can effectively reduce quality damage and safety accidents of seamless steel pipes. Therefore, we must always pay attention to the transportation and storage precautions of seamless steel pipes to ensure that they can exert the best performance and effect during use.
