Shallow Wall Straight Seam Welded Pipe

Shallow Wall Straight Seam Welded Pipe is a specialized type of welded steel tubing engineered for applications where weight and material efficiency are critical. This product is distinguished by its precisely controlled, reduced wall thickness along the entire length of the pipe, achieved through advanced longitudinal seam welding technology. It offers an excellent strength-to-weight ratio, making it a cost-effective solution for structural frameworks, light-duty mechanical systems, conveyor rollers, and certain fluid transport applications where high-pressure resistance is not the primary concern. For projects requiring even more refined specifications, we also offer related products such as Light Wall Longitudinal Welded Steel Tube, Slim Wall Straight Seam Welded Pipe, Low Thickness Longitudinal Welded Tube, and Fine Wall Straight Seam Steel Pipe. Each variant caters to specific tolerances and performance requirements within the lightweight welded pipe category.


The manufacturing of Shallow Wall Straight Seam Welded Pipe involves forming steel strips or plates into a cylindrical shape and welding the seam longitudinally using high-frequency induction welding (HFIW) or submerged arc welding (SAW) processes. This method ensures a consistent, high-integrity weld with minimal heat-affected zones, preserving the base metal's properties. The pipe is then often cold-drawn or calibrated to achieve precise outer diameters and the characteristic shallow wall dimensions. Rigorous quality control, including non-destructive testing like eddy current or ultrasonic inspection, is standard to guarantee weld seam integrity and dimensional accuracy. Key advantages include consistent internal and external surface finish, excellent straightness, and uniform mechanical properties throughout its length.

  • Longitudinal Welded Pipe

    Longitudinal Welded Pipe

    Longitudinal Welded Pipe producted by Xinlida manufacturer is a steel plate or steel strip rolled, welded into a straight line by welding technology (such as high frequency welding or submerged arc welding) to form a tubular structure.Compared with seamless steel pipe, the production process of straight seam steel pipe is simple and the cost is low, but the strength of the weld may be slightly lower than that of seamless steel pipe.
  • Galvanized Cold-Rolled Seamless Steel Pipe

    Galvanized Cold-Rolled Seamless Steel Pipe

    Xinlida's China Galvanized Cold-Rolled Seamless Steel Pipe is a seamless steel pipe produced by the cold-rolling process. Compared with hot-rolled steel pipes, the cold-rolling process endows it with higher precision and better surface quality. The wall thickness of its pipes is uniform and the dimensional accuracy is high. Generally, the outer diameter tolerance is controlled within ±0.1mm, and the wall thickness tolerance is about ±0.05mm. It can meet the demands of high-precision processing. Meanwhile, the surface of cold-rolled seamless steel pipes is smooth, which reduces the resistance of fluid flow in the pipeline and improves the transportation efficiency. They are widely used in industries such as petroleum, natural gas, chemical engineering, boilers, and mechanical manufacturing.
  • Thick-walled cold-rolled seamless steel pipe
