CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 WHAT IS SPIRAL PIPE AND WHERE IT IS MOSTLY USED?
Steel pipes through their protection methods against corrosion and their resistance in corrosive areas they are preferring initially.
In the production of spiral pipe (also known as helical seam pipe) sheet metal coil (coil=saç rulo bobin) is continuously shaped into a tube by spiral forming facility applying a constant bending radius, with also being continuosuly welded inline and outline.
Each pipe diameter requires a certain plate width of sheet metal.
A lot of types of pipes are producing in industry.Spiral pipe is the only one type which we will produce.
İn the daily life spiral pipe is used for water distribution lines(figure 1), petroleum pipelines (figure 2), industrial pipe network, compress air line, hydroelectric power plants projects etc.

CHAPTER 2
MARKET ANALYSIS
2.1 WHERE CAN WE SELL OUR PRODUCT? When we investigating the market store we focused on the developing countries.
We have seen that Africa and Middle East is the best area where we can sell our product.
There is a big potential at Middle East and Africa about developing on all hands.
Our export destinations are;
Figure (3):Export destinations
ALGERIA TURKMENISTAN PORTUGAL FRANCE CAMEROON USA ISRAEL SWEDEN ITALY ANGOLA EGYPT ROMANIA PHILLIPINES IRAQ CROTIA QATAR SPAIN
SAUDI ARABIA BRAZIL MOROCCO JORDAN GREECE SYRİA AUSTRİA LİBYA TUNUSIA U.A.E.NIGERIA
As it seen that in the figure (3) We will export our product mostly Middle East and Africa.

2.2 FACTORY LOCATION Therefore after making this analyzes our factory location is slowly appeared..
And we asked ourself this question.Our raw material is coil (bobin=rulo) to produce spiral pipe.
We will buy coil and transfer to our factory and we will produce spiral pipe…and so on..
Where is this coil mostly produced in our country?
On the other hand this location must have been nearer to sea for having minimum cost of transportation..There must be railways,seaports etc..
Finally we find the best location to build our factory.
As a location of our factory We select Osmaniye Industrial Zone.From İskenderun to Osmaniye a lot of steel factories are exist.for exaple İsdemir,Atakaş,Yolbulanbaştuğ,Rozak which means that we can buy our raw material of coil easily. Also we can export our product easily.
Red circle at the map in the Figure (4) refers to Osmaniye Industrial Zone.

3.3 HOW TO FORM COIL AS SPIRAL?
Forming, or metal forming, is the metal working process of fashioning metal parts and objects through mechanical deformation; the workpiece is reshaped without adding or removing material, and its mass remains unchanged Forming operates on the materials science principle of plastic deformation, where the physical shape of a material is permanently deformed.
Forming angle is another important parameter for manufacturing spiral pipes as shown in figure (15).
Figure(15):Forming Angle
Forming angle can easily calculated from this Formula(.As it seen that in the figure16) formula is function of width of plate and pipe diameter.

3.4 WELDING OF PIPE
Submerged arc welding (SAW) is an arc welding process that uses a continuous,consumable bare wire electrode. The molten weld and the arc zone are protected from atmospheric contamination by being "submerged" under a blanket of granular fusible flux consisting of lime, silica, manganese oxide, calcium fluoride, and other compounds. Figure(15)When molten, the flux becomes conductive, and provides a current path between the electrode and the work. This thick layer of flux completely covers the molten metal thus preventing spatter and sparks as well as suppressing the intense ultraviolet radiation and fumes that are a part of the shielded metal arc welding (SMAW) process.The arc shielding is provided by a cover of granular flux.
The electrode wire is fed automatically from a coil into the arc. The flux is introduced into the joint slightly ahead of the weld arc by gravity from a hopper, as shown in the figure(17).

3.5 CUTTING PIPE
We use plasma cutting for our product which is spiral pipe. Plasma cutting is a process that is used to cut steel and other metals of different thicknesses (or sometimes other materials) using a plasm torch. In this process, an inert gas (in some units, compressed air) is blown at high speed out of a nozzle; at the same time an electrical arc is formed through that gas from the nozzle to the surface being cut, turning some of that gas to plasma.The plasma is sufficiently hot to melt the metal being cut and moves sufficiently fast to blow molten metal away from the cut

3.6.1 Online Ultrasonic Welding Control
A system and method for providing multi-mode control of an ultrasonic welding system. In one embodiment, the control modes include the energy of the weld, the time of the welding process and the compression displacement of the parts being welded during the welding process.

3.6.2 HYDROSTATIC TEST
Hydrostatic testing has long been used to determine and verify pipeline integrity. Several types of information can be obtained through this verification process.
However, it is essential to identify the limits of the test process and obtainable results. There are several types of flaws that can be detected by hydrostatic testing, such as:
Existing flaws in the material, Stress Corrosion Cracking (SCC) and actual mechanical properties of the pipe, Active corrosion cells, and Localized hard spots that may cause failure in the presence of hydrogen.
There are some other flaws that cannot be detected by hydrostatic testing. For example, the sub-critical material flaws cannot be detected by hydro testing, but the test has profound impact on the post test behavior of these flaws.
Given that the test will play a significant role in the nondestructive evaluation of pipeline, it is important to determine the correct test pressure and then utilize that test pressure judiciously, to get the desired results.

3.7 COATING OF PIPE
We can clasified the coating of pipe external and internal coating.
3.7.1 EXTERNAL COATING
The Fusion Bonded Epoxy (FBE) coating system is an externally-applied thermosetting resin for pipe. It is applied in the form of a dry powder at thicknesses of 400-600 microns onto the heated surface of the steel pipe. Once applied and cured, the epoxy film exhibits an extremely hard surface with excellent adhesion to the steel surface. The FBE protective surface is homogeneous and offers an excellent resistance to chemical reaction.
You can see how we can coating external of pipe figure (21) .
Figure(21): External Coating

3.7.2 INTERNAL COATING
The epoxy coating lining is made up from two parts, a base and a hardener. The pot life is determined by the manufacturer to allow a reasonable time to perform the coating application.
The internal pipeline coating desired film thickness is achieved through a predetermined constant drive pressure and velocity throughout the pipeline.You can see in figure (22) how we can sprey inside the pipe.

4.COST ANALYSIS OF FACTORY
First of all we started to calculate cost analysis with searching our necessary machines and planing our working time then we tabulated our working plan at first.
Factory Hours
Hours Operational per day 8
DaysOperationalpermonth 25
DaysOperationalperyear 300
With this table we have eight hour working time per day . We have five day holiday and have twenty five day working time per month. Totaly we have three hundred working day per year.

Total Product Per Day at Full Capacity 8*60/2=240 meter (80 ton for 60 inch outer diameter and 10 mm thickness)
23
While calculating the total product per day at full capacity we got based our working time per day which is eighth our and we converted it into minute then we divided in two minute to calculate the total product for one day which is two hundered and forty meter. Then we converted this value to ton under our standart. Our standarts are sixty inch outer diameter and ten millimeter thickness.
4.2 FIXED COST
After our details became clear we calculated the our Project cost which means fixed cost and we tabulated it.

4.6 FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
Finally we calculate the our whole costand our profit at full capacity then we decided reduce our capaticy because it is impossible to sell all our product .
Full Capacity %70 Capacity
Total Direct cost
(1500*80*300)+1020000=37,020,000 (1500*56*300)+1020000=26,220,000
Total indirect cost
