Nippon Steel has three spiral-weld pipe mills at Yawata and Kimitsu Works, both
of which manufacture large-diameter pipe from hot coils. These SAW pipe pro-
ducts range from 16 to 100 inches in outside diameter and from 1/4 to 1 inch in
wall thickness.
The spiral-weld pipe mill produces APl 5L line pipe, general piping, water
