LSAW (Longitudinal Submerged Arc Welded)
- LSAW (Longitudinal Submerged Arc Welded) pipe-also known as straight-seam submerged arc welded steel pipe-is manufactured from a single wide, thick steel plate using the JCOE or UOE forming process followed by double-sided submerged arc welding. Characterized by short weld seams and high dimensional precision, it is the mainstream high-pressure pipe used for major urban trunk lines and long-distance water transmission projects.

Engineering Excellence in Water Conveyance
Selecting large-diameter pipelines for municipal water projects requires strict adherence to international waterworks standards such as AWWA C200, BS EN 10224, and ISO 3183:
- Progressive Cold-Forming & DSAW Process: Our LSAW water pipes are produced from high-purity structural steel plates cold-formed into circular cylinders. The straight seam is welded internally and externally using multi-wire submerged arc technology. The straight weld seam undergoes minimal residual manufacturing stress and allows 100% volumetric non-destructive testing (NDT).
- Full-Length Mechanical Cold Expansion: Post-welding, 100% of our LSAW pipes undergo mechanical cold expansion. This process stress-relieves the steel body, corrects minor ovality, and enforces exceptionally tight outer diameter (OD) and wall thickness tolerances for fast field assembly.
- Non-Toxic Protective Linings & Coatings: Clean water conveyance mandates high water quality standards. Our pipes are lined internally with food-grade liquid epoxy or cement mortar linings to prevent tuberculation and maintain water purity over long distances.

Key Advantages for Water Supply Applications
- Stable Pressure & Leak-Free: Features a single straight longitudinal weld ensuring uniform stress distribution; undergoes 100% hydrostatic testing and UT/RT weld inspection. Ideal for long-distance pressurized water transmission mains, offering a significantly lower leakage risk compared to spiral-welded (SSAW) pipes.
- High Dimensional Precision: Strict tolerances for roundness and wall thickness ensure excellent sealing at pipe joints; the preferred choice for municipal water plant pipelines and reservoir water diversion mains.
- Low Flow Loss: A smooth inner pipe wall minimizes flow resistance, thereby reducing energy consumption at pumping stations.
- Exceptional Service Life: Paired with a standard anti-corrosion system, buried water supply pipelines can achieve a service life of over 50 years.
- Large Diameter & High Capacity: Meets high-volume requirements for city-wide water transmission, inter-regional water transfer, and raw water transport.
FAQ
Q: Size range of your LSAW water pipes?
A: Outer Diameter: 406mm ~ 1820mm (16 inch – 72 inch); Wall thickness: 6mm ~ 50mm; Standard length 6m /12m, customized length from 3m to 18m is acceptable. Flange pressure class: PN10, PN16, PN25 / Class150, Class300 (PN10 & PN16 are most popular for water supply).
Q: What projects are your flanged LSAW pipes mainly applied to?
A: Urban municipal tap water trunk pipelines, reservoir water conveyance pipelines, industrial park centralized water supply, seawater delivery pipelines, pump room connecting pipelines and buried large-diameter water transmission networks. Flanged joints greatly simplify on-site installation and pipeline maintenance work.
Q: What is LSAW pipe for water supply?
A: LSAW stands for Longitudinal Submerged Arc Welded pipe, manufactured via JCOE/UOE cold forming + double-sided submerged arc welding from solid steel plates. Our water-grade LSAW pipes are specially designed for municipal water mains, long-distance water diversion, pump station piping and raw water delivery projects, available with plain beveled ends or factory pre-welded flanged connections.
Q: Available steel grades for water service?
A: Carbon steel grades: API 5L Gr.B, X42, X52, X60, X70; structural grades S275JR, S355JR, Q355B. We select matched grades according to working pressure and buried geological conditions.
