Q: How to secure thin-walled welded pipes during transportation to prevent collisions?

Due to their thin walls, thin-walled welded pipes are highly susceptible to deformation and weld cracking during transportation due to vehicle bumps and collisions. Therefore, basic protection measures must be taken during packaging. Flexible protective materials can be used to wrap the surface of the pipes, especially vulnerable areas such as the pipe ends and welds, which require focused reinforcement to prevent direct contact and friction/collision damage. For batch transportation of welded pipes, they can be bundled together, tightly binding several pipes into a single unit with flexible straps to reduce the movement of individual pipes. The tightness of the straps must be controlled during binding to ensure the pipes within the group remain secure without causing pressure damage to the pipe surface due to excessive tightness.
During loading, the welded pipes should be placed stably on the load-bearing surface of the transport vehicle, avoiding tilting that could shift the center of gravity.
For box-type transport vehicles, cushioning materials such as foam or pearl cotton can be filled between the welded pipes and the vehicle walls, ensuring a tight seal to prevent collisions between the pipes and the walls during transport. For open-top transport vehicles, in addition to bundling the pipes together, high-strength reinforcing ropes or straps should be used to securely connect the welded pipe assemblies to the vehicle's anchor points, ensuring the pipe assemblies do not shift during transport.
