Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1304176A2] Process for continuous production of a straight bead-welded metal pipe comprises pulling a metal sheet (2) from a reservoir, gradually forming a pipe with an open longitudinal slit, and soldering or welding the longitudinal slit. A lubricant is introduced into the open seam pipe (4). <??>Preferred Features: A lubricating oil is introduced dropwise into the open seam pipe behind the weld point using a lance (9). The longitudinal slit is closed by laser welding.
