A pipe forming line that has breakdown and cluster forming sections and have rolls having flexible forming capability and compatibility with steel pipes of various sizes and is capable of conducting forming by continuous roll forming is provided together with a pipe production method. A pipe forming line comprising breakdown stands, cluster stands or cage roll stands, and fin-pass stands and a pipe forming method, the pipe forming line being characterized in that, in order to bend-form to a substantially semicircular shape or a substantially final product shape by upper and lower rolls of at least multiple stages of the break down stands, it uses as the roll caliber a curve whose curvature varies continuously or stepwise, and is directly installed with a fin-pass mill without installation of cage rolls. <IMAGE>
