Method of feeding a pipe from level wound coil, package for level wound coil and packaging method for level wound coil

Abstract

A method of feeding a metal pipe from an LWC has steps of: mounting the one or more LWC on a mount surface of a pallet such that a coil center axis of the LWC is parallel to the mount surface of the pallet, the metal pipe being wound in alignment winding; and feeding the metal pipe from an inside of an end face of the one or more LWC.

1 . A method of feeding a metal pipe from an LWC, 
 comprising:    mounting the one or more LWC on a mount surface of a pallet such that a coil center axis of the LWC is parallel to the mount surface of the pallet, the metal pipe being wound in alignment winding; and    feeding the metal pipe from an inside of an end face of the one or more LWC.    
   
   
       2 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein: 
 the feeding of the metal pipe is conducted such that the metal pipe is passed through a hollow guide after being drawn from the LWC, and    an angle θ is 45 degrees or less which is defined between a line to connect a center of the end face of the LWC with a center of an inlet of the guide and the coil center axis of the LWC.    
   
   
       3 . A package for an LWC, comprising: 
 one or more LWC comprising a metal pipe being wound in alignment winding;    a pallet on which the one or more LWC is mounted; and    a fixing means that secures the one or more LWC to the pallet,    wherein the LWC is mounted on the pallet such that a coil center axis of the LWC is parallel to a mount surface of the pallet.    
   
   
       4 . The package according to  claim 3 , wherein: 
 the fixing means comprises a resin film.    
   
   
       5 . The package according to  claim 3 , wherein: 
 the pallet comprises a fixing base disposed on the mount surface, and    the fixing base has a curvature equal to or more than an outer curvature of the LWC.    
   
   
       6 . The package according to  claim 3 , further comprising: 
 a cushioning material disposed between the pallet and the LWC.    
   
   
       7 . A packaging method for an LWC, comprising: 
 vertically placing a pallet along an outer surface of one or more LWC; and    securing the one or more LWC to the pallet by a fixing means.    
   
   
       8 . The packaging method according to  claim 7 , wherein: 
 the fixing means comprises a resin film.    
   
   
       9 . The packaging method according to  claim 7 , further comprising: 
 disposing a cushioning material between the pallet and the LWC.
