AWWA C200 Spiral Welded Steel Pipe
For water transmission and distribution systems demanding strength, durability, and cost-effectiveness, the AWWA C200 Spiral Welded Steel Pipe is the industry-preferred solution. This specification, published by the American Water Works Association, sets rigorous standards for steel water pipe manufactured using the spiral weld process. Our pipes are engineered to meet and exceed these requirements, ensuring optimal hydraulic performance and long-term reliability for municipal water mains, raw water intakes, and large-scale irrigation projects. The inherent structural advantages of spiral welding allow for efficient production of pipes with large diameters and varying wall thicknesses to suit specific pressure ratings and installation conditions. For projects requiring pipes conforming to other critical standards, we also offer a comprehensive range including API 5L Large Diameter Spiral Pipe for oil and gas transmission, ASTM A252 Spiral Piling Pipe for foundational support, Large Diameter Spiral Pipe for Dredging in marine applications, and Spiral Welded Casing Pipe for Oil And Gas.
The manufacturing process of the AWWA C200 Spiral Welded Steel Pipe begins with high-quality steel coils. A forming machine continuously bends the strip at a precise angle, creating a uniform spiral helix. The resulting seam is then welded inside and out using advanced submerged arc welding (SAW) technology, producing a consistent, high-integrity weld that is as strong as the base metal. This method provides exceptional dimensional flexibility. Key product parameters and specifications are detailed below to illustrate the capabilities and conformity of our pipe.
