Water main pipes
SSAB's welded steel pipes can be used in water mains, where the normal maximum operating pressure is 16 bar. Water main pipe size fittings are delivered for diameters ≥ DN 400.
DownloadsJoining methods
Pipe joints connect pipes and fittings into an integrated pipeline.
Joints can be divided into two main types: tension resistant and non-tension resistant. Joints may also be divided by application.
Pipe fittings
Internally and externally coated pipe fittings can be easily joined to each other.
Besides standard fittings, SSAB also delivers fittings for water main pipe sizes tailored to customer specifications, considerably improving the modifiability of the system.
Coatings
External and internal coatings ensure the long life of steel water main pipes.
SSAB delivers water main pipe materials with external polyethylene coating and an internal concrete or epoxy layer suitable for use with drinking water. There are also suitable inside coatings for sewage and rainwater.

Helen decreased carbon footprint in Vuosaari power plant by using SSAB’s higher strength steel tubes
LOGSTOR Finland delivered to Helen Vuosaari power plant district heating pipe line that were produced with thinner steel core pipelines made of higher strength steel. This was the first large size project for Helen to use higher strength steel in district heating pipeline. Higher steel grade enables customer to use lower material thickness tubes in steel core of pipelines which not only reduce weight of the pipes during the transportation but also prolongs lifetime of the pipelines. Power plant is benefiting of the longer lifetime compared with traditional solution and at the same time environment aspect with lower carbon footprint are enabled.

Reconstruction of Klaipeda Northern Breakwater
In the project ‘Reconstruction of Klaipeda Northern Breakwater’, the entrance of the harbour of Klaipeda was strengthened and renewed. In the course of this construction work, a retaining wall was built underwater at the foot of the breakwater at the narrowest point of the entrance. Through the installation of this wall, it was possible to design a rectangular cross-section between the northern and southern breakwaters, thus achieving a depth independent of the breakwater slope. Main contractor for the project was Depenbrock Ingenieurwasserbau GmbH & Co. from Germany.
