Spiral-welded steel pipes for pressure fluid transportation, utilizing GB/T9711-2023 spiral seam submerged arc welding steel pipes, mainly used for pipeline transportation of oil and natural gas.

General low-pressure fluid transportation, using spiral seam submerged arc welded steel pipes according to GB/T3091-2015 and SY/T5037-2023, produced by double-sided automatic submerged arc welding for general low-pressure fluid conveyance, such as water, gas, air, and steam.

Common standards for spiral steel pipes generally include: SY/T5037-2023 (Ministry Standard, also known as Spiral Submerged Arc Welded Steel Pipe for Ordinary Fluid Transportation), GB/T3091-2015, GB/T9711-2023 PSL1 and PSL2 (National Standard, also known as Steel Pipe for Oil and Gas Industry Transportation, API-5L [American Petroleum Institute, also known as Pipeline Steel Pipe]; divided into PSL1 and PSL2 levels), and SY/T5040-2008 (Spiral Welded Steel Pipe for Piling).

SY/T5037-2023 is a standard set by the Ministry of Petroleum, commonly referred to as the "Ministry Standard."

GB/T9711-2023 PSL1/2 Standard Spiral Steel Pipe, used for oil and gas industry transportation.

Piled Spiral Welded Steel Pipe (SY5040-2008) is made from hot-rolled steel strip coils as billets, formed into pipes through normal temperature spiral rolling, and produced by double-sided submerged arc welding or high-frequency welding. It is used for steel pipes in civil engineering structures, wharfs, bridges, and other foundation piles.
