Large Diameter SSAW Steel Pipes: Heavy-Duty Solutions for Global Infrastructure
40 Years of Industrial Heritage | Precision Spiral Welding | Diameters up to 3000mm+
When it comes to large-scale infrastructure—be it cross-country water transmission, offshore piling, or high-pressure energy sectors—the integrity of the piping is non-negotiable. At JSFITTINGS, we leverage four decades of manufacturing expertise to produce Large Diameter SSAW (Spiral Submerged Arc Welded) steel pipes that bridge the gap between cost-efficiency and uncompromising structural strength.



Large diameter ssaw steel pipes require specialized forming technology to maintain roundness and weld integrity. Our production lines are optimized for the following parameters:
| Feature | Specification Range |
| Outside Diameter (OD) | 219mm – 3220mm (8″ – 126″) |
| Wall Thickness (WT) | 5.0mm – 25.4mm |
| Standard Length | 6m – 12m (Custom lengths up to 30m for piling available) |
| Steel Grades | API 5L (Gr.B to X80), ASTM A252 (Gr. 1, 2, 3), ASTM A53, Q235B, Q355B/D |
| Welding Process | Automatic Double-Sided Submerged Arc Welding |
| End Options | Beveled (for welding), Plain End, or Flanged |
Our Large Diameter SSAW pipes are engineered and tested to meet the world’s most stringent regulatory requirements. We provide full MTC (Mill Test Certificates) with every shipment.
Energy Sector: API 5L (PSL1 & PSL2) – Ensuring safety in oil, gas, and hydrocarbon transport.
Structural & Piling: ASTM A252 & EN 10219 – Optimized for load-bearing capacity in bridge and marine foundations.
Water Supply: AWWA C200 & DIN 2460 – Certified for municipal water pipelines and irrigation systems.
Large diameter pipes can be produced via LSAW or SSAW. However, the Spiral advantage offers distinct benefits for project managers:
Versatility in Sizing: We can produce a wide variety of large diameters from a single width of steel strip, allowing for faster production cycles.
Increased Rigidity: The spiral weld seam acts as a structural reinforcement, providing superior resistance against internal pressure and external crushing loads.
Cost-Efficiency: For diameters exceeding 800mm, SSAW typically offers a more economical solution without sacrificing the mechanical properties required for heavy-duty use.
Our ssaw steel pipes serve as the “arteries” of industrial development across various sectors:
For large diameter steel pipe projects, the more detail provided, the more accurate our technical assessment. Please include:
Dimensions: Precise OD and Wall Thickness.
Application: Is it for piling (ASTM A252) or fluid transport (API 5L)?
Environment: Will the pipe be buried or underwater? (This determines the coating type).
Delivery Site: Large pipes involve complex logistics; please specify the destination port for a landed cost estimate.
