    Pipes & tubes of Nippon Steel & Sumitomo MetalPipes & tubes of Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal

    Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal has produced and sold a

    complete range of steel products and has served every need in

    Japan and overseas for over a long period of time as a compre-

    hensive steel manufacturer.

    In the pipe & tube unit, we have the latest production facilities

    that can cover all products, such as those involving seamlessrolling, electric resistance welding, butt welding, and arc weld-

    ing, as well as a product control system based on non-destruc-

    tive inspection using computers.

    In addition, the comprehensive unique capabilities of Nippon

    Steel & Sumitomo Metal include application technologies and

    construction technologies varying from high-grade pipes for

    lines, oil wells, and power generation, etc., to general pipes &

    tubes such as those for piping and structures. We believe that

    such technologies will serve you and your needs.

    We would like to gain your interest in the pipe & tube products of

    Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal.

    Production process Seamless pipes & tubes (Mannesmann process)

    Hot process

    Mandrel mill process

    After heating the round steel billet, hollow pipes are made with a piercer with toe angle. Then, elongating rolling is per formed

    by a mandrel mill, which consists of a multi-step continuous rolling machine, to thereby produce the mother pipe. This mother

    pipe is reheated and is then nished by stretch reducing mill to a specied outside diameter and thickness for the nal pr oduct.

    Plug mill process

    After heating the round steel billet, hollow pipes are made with a piercer. Then, elongating rolling is perform ed through a plug

    mill. Pipes are reeled and nished to a specied diameter for nal products. For a pipe & tube with a small diameter, original

    pipes with a specied diameter are reheated and then nished to the specied outside diameter and thickness through a reduc-

    ing mill for the nal product.

    Cold-rolling process

    When higher dimensional accuracy and mechanical properties are required compared to pipes produced by the hot-rolling

    process, cold drawing subsequent to hot rolling is performed for the nal product.

    Seamless pipe production (hot extrusion process)

    Hot extrusion process

    (Ugine-Sejournet process)

    Hot extrusion is a process in which heated billets are

    inserted into the cylinder, known as a container, and

    extruded with a hydraulic press. The specified outside

    diameter and thickness can be obtained with a die and

    mandrel. For pipes requiring higher dimensional accuracy

    and a surface nish, they are nished through cold rolling

    for the nal product.

    With this process, fin pipes & tubes or various shaped

    steel other than steel pipes & tubes can be produced.

    Hot hollow forging process

    (Ehrhardt Push Bench process)

    Hot forging is a process for producing large-diameter thick

    pipes that are used in severe environments, such as main

    steam pipes at power plants.

    Electric resistance-welded pipes & tubes

    Electric resistance-welded pipes & tubes are produced by forming the coil into a cylindrical form with top/bottom and left/right

    forming rolls while continuously rewinding the coil to be electric resistance welded.

    For a hot-nish electric resistance-welded pipe & tube (SR pipe), a long-size electric resistance welded pipe & tube is heated

    in a continuous heating furnace and drawn and nished by a stretch reducer. It is used to produce small-diameter pipes. Fur-

    thermore, NSSMC produces PIC (Pipe in Coil) in which the pipe is formed into a coil as a long-size pipe, in particular.

    Heat exchanger tubes by cold drawing are also produced.

    Butt-welded pipes & tubes (CW), hot electric resistance-welded (SW) pipes & tubes

    Butt-welded pipes & tubes (CW) are produced by heat-

    ing the coil to a butt-weld temperature through a heating

    furnace while continuously rewinding the coil. This heated

    coil is put through the forming butt-welding roll to form the

    pipe. It is nished to a specied size through a drawing roll

    and sizing roll.

    Hot electric resistance-welded (SW) pipes & tubes are

    produced by electric resistant welding the heated coil and

    nishing it to a specied size with a reducing mill.

    Arc-welded pipes & tubes

    UO process

    UO pipes are produced by forming the both ends of the

    plate into a groove, forming the groove-shaped steel into

    a cylindrical shape with a U press and O press, and then

    arc welding the linear joints from the inside and outside

    (submerged arc welding).

    Bending roll process

    Bending rolled pipes have two processes: A press bend

    process for nishing pipes & tubes into a cylindrical shape

    with a forming press and a bending roll process to rstly

    make a circular shape at both edges of the steel sheet

    with a bend press, and then to make a perfect cylinder

    shape by rolling. The linear joints of a formed shape are

    arc welded (submerged arc welding) from the inside and

    outside.

    Spiral welding process

    Spiral welded pipes are produced by bending and forming

    a coil into a spiral with a forming roll while continuously

    rewinding the coil, and by welding the joints from the inside

    and outside.
