Sometimes the delivery time of steel pipe is very fast and can be delivered in a few days; sometimes it is very slow and takes 1 month or even longer. What is the reason at that time?

The finished products produced by large-diameter straight seam steel pipes are guaranteed in quality, with high efficiency and low cost. Relying on the advantage of a vertical weld, they quickly entered the large-diameter steel pipe market. The quality can meet the requirements of transmission pipelines, piling, steel supports, subway columns, steel pipe piles, etc. The sales volume is very considerable. The main reason is that the price is appropriate. One weld is used for sizes below 1020mm, and two welds are recommended for sizes above 1020mm. Two steel plates are spliced for production, This can reduce the cost and lower the price.

Generally speaking, the small-diameter straight-seam steel pipes are basically supplied from stock. The small-diameter straight-seam steel pipes are easy to store and occupy a small area. They can also be stacked high, and the cost of pressing is less. Therefore, the large-diameter straight-seam steel pipes above 630mm are basically customized. Because the inventory is too high to stack, it is easy to collapse, and the cost of pressing is relatively large.

Generally, straight-seam steel pipe plants stock existing steel plates or steel plates fixed by the steel plant, and the cycle may be longer. For example, the delivery time of 630*12mm normal existing steel plates is about 7-15 days. Even if the stock steel plates do not have all the wall thickness, they can only be fixed in the steel plant without inventory. In that way, the production cycle will be extended. The steel plant fixed steel plates will be delivered in about 15-25 days at the earliest, and it will take about 5 days to return to the plant for production, Therefore, it takes about 20-30 days for the general raw material steel factory to make the delivery.

Large diameter straight seam steel pipes are widely used in piling, bridges, supports, and other projects. Generally, these projects will be scheduled or planned in advance to avoid the loss caused by the delay in the construction period. However, there will be some projects that do not have a good plan and budget in advance. The failure of the steel pipes to arrive will lead to the delay of the project and the lack of work, which will cause economic losses. We can only find the manufacturer to make an urgent decision.

See if there are any existing plates in stock or with appropriate wall thickness, and strive for some time. If there are existing plates that can be delivered in 5 days after being expedited, the steel factory will deliver the expedited steel plates in 10-15 days as soon as possible, but the price will certainly be higher because the raw materials also need to be paid for expedited. It is suggested that all orders should be planned early to avoid spending some unnecessary money.

Cangzhou Shenlong Pipe Manufacturing Co., Ltd. cooperates with Baosteel and Baogang to produce large-caliber seamless steel pipe, straight-seam welded pipe, spiral steel pipe, and pipe fittings. The products comply with API, ASTM, DIN, BS, and JIS standards, and can accept SGS, BV, and other inspections. The products are used in oil, natural gas, bridge, water conservancy, and other large-scale projects, which are worthy of trust.
