Mighty Seam™, HFW Line Pipe (1/3)

Mighty Seam™ is a high-performance HFW* line pipe that employs advanced QC/QA** technologies.

Mighty Seam™ features:

1) Clean, full-length electric-weld seams (highly reliable seams)

2) Both weld seam and pipe body exhibit superior properties.

[ I.E., lower temperature toughness and higher strain capacity ]

Mighty Seam™ has been qualified by major companies and used in applications in place of Seamless

and UOE line pipes at a lower investment cost.

*HFW pipe: a pipe welded using High-Frequency Electric resistance welding.

**QC: Quality Control; QA: Quality Assurance

2. Technical Advantages

3. Commercial Advantages

2

・Cost competitive against Seamless or DSAW pipe

・More efficient girth welding during installation

due to its precise diameter

Suitable for demanding applications, such as:

1) Reel-lay (DNV OS-F101 Suffix-P)

2) Low-temperature service

-46oC (-50oF)

3) Sour service (API 5L Annex-H)

4) J-lay and S-lay

5) Heavy wall pipes of up to 25.4 mm

(1.000”)
