Seamless Coiled Tubing
Seamless coiled tubing is manufactured by cold drawing and cold rolling process, a based billet is extruded into a tube and drawn to finished size. orbital welds are used to join lengths of the seamless coil to achieve smooth, strong tube lengths suitable for any good application, strong and error-free orbital welds join the lengths of the seamless coil together for the desired tube lengths.
Welded Coiled Tubing
Tubing lines are welded and drawn to homogenize the seam weld for a better sealing surface, rounder OD, and an improved external surface finish. After welding, the line is drawn through a reduction die and reworked externally to homogenize the seam weld. By drawing through a die, the line has an improved surface of tubes, a truly round OD, and an improved external surface finish.
Coiled Tubing Control Line Forms and Applications
Hydraulic control tubing, hydraulic control lines, tubing encapsulated cables, chemical injection lines, pre-insulated tubes, multi-core tube bundles, umbilical cables, and cable-alloy pipes, fishing lines. The lines are widely used in petroleum, chemical, natural gas, shipbuilding, food, environmental protection, and other industries.

Coiled tubing
Coiled tubing (CT) refers to a continuous and long length of small diameter metal pipe, generally, this type of tubing unit consists of other components, the unit size can be small or large depending on application, and a reel may be used for storage and transportation.
We have specialized in stainless steel coiled-shape tubing for years, having the facility to produce superior coil tubing, with a variety of sizes and dimensions.
Coiled Tubing Types
Welded coiled tubes and seamless coiled tubes are both offered as standards, the common specification is ASTM A269, the cold drawing manufacturing process improves tubing performance, and annealing pickling and bright annealing finishes are for specific uses.
After the straight tubing is finished, the tubing is coiled, and a slightly formed circle shape into a reel, maximum length up to 1000 meters.
Stainless Steel Grades
Stainless steel is a large group with good corrosion resistance, meanwhile, the material has perfect toughness and formability under annealed conditions, which properties make tubing easy to fabricate and bend.
300 series stainless steels are widely used because these grades provide balanced characteristics for application, typical grades are TP304, and TP316L stainless steel.
Duplex steel is also for coil tubing, particularly in a corrosion environment, common grade is 2205 duplex.
- Austenitic: 304, 304L, 316, 316L, 316H, 316Ti, 317/317L, 347/347H, 321/321H, 310/S, 904L, 254SMO
- Ferritic: 409, 430, 439, 441, 434, 436, 444, 446
- Martensitic: 403, 410, 410S, 414/L, 418, 420, 440, 416
- Duplex: 2205, S31803, S32750, S32760
Sizes
Stainless steel coiled tubing dimensions range from 3.0 mm to 45 mm in outside diameter, and 0.3 mm to 2.0 mm in wall thickness, maximum length reaching 1000 meters, welded capillary coiled tubing provides thinner wall for specific purposes.
Quality Inspection
Then tubing is in straight condition, eddy current test is conducted via an in-line device, to detect leaks and defect situations, small size weights in the coiling can be carried out by air underwater testing.
Advantages
Coiled tubing usually is long length tube coil, compared to straight tubing, it does not require connecting the tubing end with a fitting, therefore, it saves time for installation, and it is cost cost-effective way, with less maintenance.
Application
Industrial use: heat exchanger, boiler, petroleum, chemical, fertilizer, chemical fiber, pharmaceutical, nuclear power.
Fluid use: beverage, beer, milk, water supply system, medical equipment.
Mechanical structure: printing and dyeing, printing, textile machinery, medical equipment, kitchen equipment, automobile and ship accessories, construction and decoration.
