The full form of DFT pipe, in the context of pipe manufacturing, is Direct Forming Technology pipe.
DFT is a manufacturing process particularly associated with companies like APL Apollo, who have pioneered its use in the production of steel tubes, including structural steel tubes, ERW (electric resistance welding) tubes, square tubes, and rectangular tubes. This technology focuses on forming the pipe directly from the raw material, often coil steel, resulting in a more efficient and precise manufacturing process.
Here's a breakdown of what that means:
- Direct: The process avoids intermediate steps, streamlining the manufacturing flow.
- Forming: The raw material is shaped into the final pipe dimensions.
- Technology: It signifies the advanced techniques and equipment used in this process.
