JCOE Large Diameter LSAW Pipe Mill There are two production processes for LSAW pipe i.e., JCOE and RBE.
The advantages of JCOE production process are that it can produce more than 30mm thick steel pipe, which is suitable for the production of extra thick wall steel pipe; the disadvantages are low production efficiency (10 pieces / hour) and large investment. It is usually used for the production of straight seam submerged arc steel pipe with diameter range of 508 - 1422 mm, wall thickness of 8 - 40 mm and length of 10 - 12.5 m.
