Pipes & tubes of NIPPON STEEL

NIPPON STEEL has produced and sold a complete range of

steel products and has served every need in Japan and over-
seas for over a long period of time as a comprehensive steel
manufacturer.
In the pipe & tube unit, we have the latest production facilities
that can cover all products, such as those involving seamless
rolling, 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 include application technologies and construction tech-
nologies 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.

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 performed
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 finished by stretch reducing mill to a specified outside diameter and thickness for the final 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 final product.

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-finish 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 finished by a stretch reducer. It is used to produce small-diameter pipes. Fur-
thermore, NIPPON STEEL 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.
