[0021] The utility model is used for high pressure / high ratio hydrogen transportation spiral submerged arc welded pipe, the structure is as follows Figure 1 As shown, it includes a welded pipe 2, an outer coating 1 is provided on the outer wall of the welded pipe 2, and the outer coating has anti-corrosion and reinforcing effects. The inner and outer surfaces of the welded pipe 2 are shot peened to improve the bonding force of the outer coating 1 and improve the uniformity of the surface performance of the welded pipe 2;

[0022] like Figure 2 As shown, the outer coating 1 includes an inner tape layer 3, a bonding layer 4, and an outer tape layer 5 from the inside to the outside, the inner tape layer 3 is an epoxy powder coating, the bonding layer 4 is an adhesive layer, and the outer tape layer 5 is a steel tape reinforced polyethylene layer;

[0023] like Figure 3 As shown, the welded pipe 2 includes a tube blank 9, on which a spiral weld 6 is welded. The spiral weld 6 is realized based on the provision of a spiral seam on the welded pipe 2, which extends spirally along the tube blank 9. The weld formed by welding the spiral seam is the spiral weld 6. When an explosion occurs in a hydrogen pipeline, the spiral weld 6 has a good effect of blocking cracks, and is easier to stop cracks than a straight seam pipe.

After that, the tube end of the welded tube blank 9 is expanded in a round shape, X-ray inspection is performed, and the welded pipe 2 that passes the inspection is subjected to a water pressure test and ultrasonic flaw detection to reduce the residual stress of the pipe material, thereby improving the hydrogen embrittlement resistance of the welded pipe.
