How to store steel products?

The storage of seamless steel pipes should follow the following principles:

1. The steel storage site or warehouse should be located at a clean and slow-drainage center, away from factories and mines that produce harmless gases and dust.  Weeds and all debris on the site must be removed, and the steel must be clean;

2. Acid, alkali, salt, cement and other substances that are corrosive to steel shall not be stored in the warehouse.  Different types of steel should be stacked separately to avoid mixing and contact corrosion;

3. Large steel, rails, steel plates, large-diameter steel pipes, forgings, etc. can be stacked in the open air;

4. Small and medium-sized steel bars, wire rods, steel bars, medium-diameter steel pipes, steel wires and steel wire ropes, etc., can be stored in well-ventilated material sheds, but they must have a top and a bottom;

5. Some small steel products, thin steel plates, steel strips, silicon steel sheets, small diameter or thin-walled steel pipes, various cold-rolled and cold-drawn steel products, and high-priced, corrosive metal products can be stored in the warehouse.

6. The warehouse is required to pay attention to ventilation on sunny days, keep it closed on rainy days, prevent moisture, and always maintain a suitable storage environment.
