Steel pipe maintenance methods

1. Storage environment

The first thing to pay attention to is the storage environment. Steel pipes should be stored in a dry, ventilated, rain and sun proof place, away from ignition sources and flammable substances, to prevent rusting, deformation, and other situations of the steel pipes. During storage, the steel pipes should be kept at a certain distance from the ground to avoid moisture. In addition, moisture-proof agents or rust inhibitors can be appropriately placed during storage to increase the service life of steel pipes.

2. Storage method

Secondly, there are two ways to store steel pipes: vertical storage and horizontal storage. Vertical storage is suitable for steel pipes with relatively short lengths, which can save storage space, but it is necessary to pay attention to the stability of the support points to prevent the steel pipes from collapsing. Horizontal storage is suitable for long steel pipes with good stability, but attention should be paid to the friction between the pipes to avoid mutual compression and deformation.

3. Check the steel pipe

Before storing steel pipes, it is necessary to inspect them and eliminate quality issues. The inspection requires that the surface of the steel pipe be flat, without obvious dents, scratches, cracks, rust, etc., to ensure the quality and safety of the steel pipe.

4. Regular maintenance

Regular maintenance is also required during the storage of steel pipes. For example, regularly clean the surface of steel pipes to remove impurities such as dust and dirt, in order to ensure the smoothness of the steel pipe surface. At the same time, it is also necessary to check whether the rust and moisture-proof agents of the steel pipes have failed, and if found, replace them in a timely manner.

In short, the storage of steel pipes is a meticulous task that requires attention to various details in order to ensure the quality and service life of the steel pipes. I hope everyone can store according to the above precautions during the construction process to avoid unnecessary losses and waste.
