SSAW Pipes

SSAW pipes (Spiral Submerged Arc Welded) are fabricated by rolling and welding hot-rolled steel coils in a spiral form using submerged arc welding technology. This method allows for the production of large-diameter pipes with high structural integrity and cost-efficiency. SSAW pipes are particularly valued for their ability to handle large volumes, long-distance transport, and high-pressure systems.

SSAW pipes are widely used in water supply projects, oil & gas transmission, dredging, structural foundations, and piling applications. The spiral weld provides enhanced load-bearing capabilities, and the geometry allows for consistent wall thickness and better resistance to external pressure. SSAW pipes are suitable for buried and above-ground pipelines, especially in sectors requiring high-volume flow and mechanical strength.

At Middle East Piping, we supply SSAW pipes manufactured according to international standards such as API 5L (PSL1 & PSL2), ASTM A252, EN 10219, and ISO 3183, in steel grades ranging from Gr B to X80, with custom coatings and beveling options. Available diameters range from 20” to 120” (508 mm to 3,048 mm), and wall thicknesses can be tailored as per project demands. click here

All SSAW pipes are subjected to hydrostatic testing, ultrasonic testing (UT), and radiographic inspection (RT) on weld seams. Coating options such as 3LPE, FBE, bitumen, and coal tar epoxy are available based on application and environmental exposure. click here

For long-distance, high-volume transport or structural uses, SSAW pipes offer a cost-effective, robust solution trusted in major infrastructure and energy projects across the GCC.
