JCOE Pipe

JCOE Pipe

JCOE Pipe refers to a type of longitudinally submerged arc-welded (LSAW) steel pipe that is produced using the JCOE forming process.

The mill adopts continuous axis contorting J-C-O(J-ing, C-ing and O-ing)process with characteristics of high forming accuracy and efficiency as well as balanced distribution of forming stress.

The JCOE process begins with the steel plate being cut to the desired size and then fed through a series of rollers to be formed into a "J" shape. The edges of the plate are then trimmed to be straight and parallel for welding. Next, the plate is formed into a "C" shape through additional steps on the forming machine, with some incremental corrections for ovality and straightness. Finally, the plate is expanded to form the final "O"-shaped pipe blank.

The JCOE forming process is known for its ability to produce large diameter pipes with thick walls, making them suitable for use in oil and gas pipelines, construction, and other structural applications.

Because it is a progressive multi-pass pressing, it must address the following questions: how to determine the die shape, the upper die and lower die stroke distance, and how much press pass in order to ensure the most appropriate bend radius and the best opening round hair tube.

But these issues with the steel plate, steel plants of different mechanical properties of concrete, pipe size (diameter and wall thickness), which in turn is very complex. Currently mainly by “trial and error”, that is, whenever replacement or new steel specifications, we take a certain number of sample pressure test, worked out the right amount of punch. Trial and error method is more reliable, but the efficiency is relatively low.

JCOE manufacturing technology is developed in the 1990s as a pipe forming process, the process of molding process is the first major steel mill edge (or planing) after pre-bending by longitudinal side, and then type → J-→ C O-order molding, stamping each step are the basic principles of three-point bending.

Trial and error method is more reliable, but the efficiency is relatively low.

As more process parameters, only through trial and error method is quite cumbersome. In order to obtain a mature technology, and even a few months of trial and error process. And trial and error process is often a fixed shape and spacing of the die, only to explore the punch stroke, so the results obtained may not be optimal, there is no full unit capacity. System so it is necessary to study the factors affecting the shape, or even to establish a theoretical formula, developed with the experience of trial and error molding process, eliminating the need or less need to test, trial costs and reduce time and increase productivity.

The mill adopts continuous axis contorting J-C-O(J-ing, C-ing and O-ing)process with characteristics of high forming accuracy and efficiency as well as balanced distribution of forming stress.

JCOE pipes are large-diameter longitudinal steel pipes created using the JCOE forming process. Known for their high strength and durability, these pipes are widely used in demanding industrial applications like oil and gas transportation, structural supports in construction, and high-pressure fluid transfer. Their unique production process makes them ideal for environments that require reliable performance under heavy loads and pressure.

Frequently Asked Questions
The coil used for production has lower alloy content than similar steel plates, which brings better weldability. Besides, the rolling direction of the coil is not perpendicular to the pipe axis, so the finished pipe owns excellent crack resistance.
Welded steel pipe is a seamed steel product manufactured by bending steel strip or steel plate into round, square or other shapes and then welding. Its raw materials are steel sheets or strips. With the development of strip rolling, welding and inspection technology, welded pipes have richer specifications and more reliable quality.
Nickel and chromium are key elements for anti-corrosion performance. Higher nickel content provides stronger resistance against acid environments such as sulfuric acid and hydrochloric acid. Adding chromium alone can also effectively prevent corrosion.
Poor edge condition of steel strip, irregular shape and dimensional deviation at the head and tail of uncut steel strip will lead to hard bending of the strip and further cause weld misalignment. This defect may result in product downgrade.
General technical requirements and inspection rules follow GB3092 Welded Steel Pipes for Low-Pressure Fluid Transmission. Hydrostatic test complies with relevant pressure regulations, and eddy current flaw detection is implemented according to GB7735 Steel Tube Eddy Current Flaw Detection Inspection Method.
Defects like folds, cracks, delamination and lap welding are strictly prohibited. Minor scratches, weld misalignment, burns and scars that do not exceed wall thickness negative deviation are acceptable. Wall thickening and inner weld beads at welding seams are also permitted.
Welded pipes shall undergo mechanical property test, flattening test and flaring test. They must withstand a 2.5Mpa hydrostatic pressure test for 1 minute without leakage. Eddy current flaw detection can be used as an alternative to hydrostatic test.
Qualified pipes are cut to fixed length by flying saw, then transported via turning frame. Both pipe ends are chamfered and flattened, marked clearly, and finally bundled into hexagonal bundles for delivery.
The weld seam of straight seam steel pipe is parallel to the pipe longitudinal direction. It can adopt narrow blanks to produce large-diameter pipes, and the same-width blanks can make pipes of different diameters. Its disadvantage is longer weld seam and lower production efficiency compared with spiral welded pipe.
There are four mainstream processing methods: Forging, Extrusion, Rolling and Steel Drawing. Forging uses impact or pressure to shape steel; Extrusion is widely used for non-ferrous metal pipes; Rolling reduces cross-section by roller compression; Steel Drawing is mainly applied to cold working to narrow pipe diameter and extend length.
Surface quenching and tempering generally adopt induction heating or flame heating. Local quenching can also be realized by induction heating for parts requiring partial high hardness.
Vickers hardness tester is commonly used. Rockwell hardness tester is also available: use HRA scale when hardened layer thickness is 0.4-0.8mm, and HRC scale when thickness exceeds 0.8mm. For shallow hardened layers, superficial Rockwell hardness tester with HRN scale is recommended.
Yes. Vickers, Rockwell and superficial Rockwell hardness values can be converted to one another. Corresponding conversion tables are provided in ISO, ASTM and GB/T standards.
