What Are LSAW Pipes?
LSAW pipes are large diameter steel pipes made from steel plate. The letters stand for longitudinal submerged arc welded. A mill bends a flat plate into a round pipe, then welds one straight seam along its length. Welders run the arc under a blanket of flux, on both the inside and the outside of the seam, so the weld is deep, clean, and strong.
Here is how the process runs. The mill trims and bevels the plate edges, then forms the plate into a cylinder in a press. It tack welds the seam, then welds the inside and outside with submerged arc welding. Next, the pipe goes through cold expansion, which stretches it a little to fix its size and relieve stress. Finally, the mill tests the weld and the pipe body, bevels the ends, and applies any coating.
Because LSAW pipes start as thick plate, they carry high pressure and heavy loads. That is why long distance oil and gas pipelines, offshore lines, and heavy piling depend on them.

Types of LSAW Pipes
LSAW pipes can be classified by their forming method, applicable standard, and coating. Each type is selected according to factors such as pipe size, wall thickness, application, operating conditions, and corrosion protection requirements.
| Classification | Type | Typical Application / Features |
|---|---|---|
| Forming Method | JCOE LSAW Pipes | Formed progressively through J, C, and O stages using a press. Suitable for a wide range of diameters and wall thicknesses, including smaller production batches. |
| Forming Method | UOE LSAW Pipes | Formed through U and O stages before expansion. Commonly used for large-diameter pipes and high-volume production. |
| Standard | API 5L LSAW Pipes | Used primarily for oil and gas transmission pipelines and supplied in grades such as B, X42, X52, X60, X65, and X80, where applicable. |
| Standard | ASTM A252 LSAW Pipes | Designed primarily for piling and foundation applications. |
| Standard | ASTM A671 & A672 LSAW Pipes | Used for pressure applications in industries such as power generation, petrochemical processing, and refineries, subject to the applicable grade and service requirements. |
| Coating | Bare LSAW Pipes | Supplied without external coating where corrosion protection is not required or where the pipe will receive further treatment. |
| Coating | 3LPE / 3LPP Coated Pipes | Multi-layer coatings used to provide external corrosion protection, particularly for buried and offshore pipeline applications. |
| Coating | FBE / Epoxy Coated Pipes | Fusion-bonded epoxy and other epoxy coatings provide protection against corrosion in applicable pipeline and industrial environments. |
The choice of LSAW pipe type depends on the required diameter, wall thickness, material grade, manufacturing standard, operating conditions, and coating requirements. We can supply LSAW pipes according to project-specific specifications and applicable standards.

What Is the Difference Between LSAW Pipes and Other Welded Pipes?
The main difference is the plate, the seam, and the wall. LSAW pipes come from thick plate, have one straight seam, and are commonly used for large diameter and heavy-wall applications. SSAW pipes come from coil, have a spiral seam, and are commonly used for water mains and piling. ERW pipes come from coil too, have one straight seam made without filler metal, and suit small to medium sizes.
Choose the pipe type according to the required diameter, wall thickness, pressure, material grade, applicable standard, and project specification.
| Point | LSAW Pipes | SSAW Pipes | ERW Pipes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Made From | Steel plate | Steel coil | Steel coil |
| Seam | One straight seam | Spiral seam | One straight seam |
| Welding | Submerged arc, inside and outside, with filler wire | Submerged arc, spiral, with filler wire | High-frequency resistance, no filler |
| Size Range | 16" to 48" and larger | Very large diameters | 1/2" to 24" |
| Wall Thickness | Thick, up to 40 mm and more | Thin to medium | Thin to medium |
| Pressure | High | Low to medium | Low to medium |
| Price | Medium to high | Lower | Lowest |
| Best For | Oil and gas pipelines, offshore lines, heavy piling | Water mains, low-pressure lines, piling | Small to medium lines, structures |

LSAW Pipes FAQs
Frequently asked questions about LSAW pipes, specifications, grades, sizes and applications.
LSAW pipes are large diameter steel pipes made by bending steel plate into a round shape and welding one straight seam, inside and outside, with submerged arc welding.
LSAW pipes come from plate and have a straight seam, making them suitable for large-diameter and heavy-wall applications. SSAW pipes come from coil and have a spiral seam, and are commonly used for water mains, piling and other applicable lower-pressure services.
LSAW pipes come from thick plate, use submerged arc welding with filler wire, and are used for large diameters and heavy walls. ERW pipes come from coil, use electric resistance welding without filler metal, and are commonly used for small to medium sizes.
Both start as steel plate. JCOE forms the plate progressively through J, C, and O stages and is suitable for varied sizes and smaller production batches. UOE forms the plate through U and O stages followed by expansion and is commonly used for large, repeat production.
PSL2 has tighter chemistry limits and additional mechanical and toughness requirements compared with PSL1. Depending on the applicable API 5L requirements, PSL2 also includes specified impact testing and additional inspection requirements.
We supply API 5L Gr. B to X80 in PSL1 and PSL2, ASTM A252 Gr. 1 to 3, ASTM A671 and A672 CC60 to CC70, ASTM A139, and IS 3589.
We supply LSAW pipes from 16" to 48" OD, with wall thicknesses from 6 mm to 40 mm. Larger sizes and heavier walls are available on request depending on the project specification.
LSAW pipes manufactured to applicable API 5L requirements can be used for high-pressure oil and gas transmission applications. The appropriate grade, PSL level, wall thickness, testing and design requirements should be selected according to the project.
We offer 3LPE, 3LPP, FBE, and epoxy coatings, along with bare and varnished finishes, depending on the required specification and service environment.
Orders can be supplied with an EN 10204 3.1 certificate. EN 10204 3.2 documentation can be provided when third-party inspection is requested and included in the order requirements.
