ABSTRACT:
A dual bias weld is an improved weld for joining strips to be formed into coiled tubing. Tubing is formed from a first strip and a second strip, the first and second strips being of the same width. A planar end surface is formed on an end of the first strip, the plane of the planar end surface being defined by a line lying along a top surface of the first strip at an acute angle with respect to the longitudinal direction of the first strip and a line lying along an edge surface of the first strip at an acute angle with respect to the longitudinal of the first strip. Similarly, a planar end surface is formed on an end of the second strip, the plane of the planar end surface being defined by a line lying along a top surface of the second strip at an acute angle with respect to the longitudinal direction of the second strip and a line lying along an edge surface of the second strip at an acute angle with respect to the longitudinal direction of the second strip. A composite strip is formed by welding the planar end surface of the first strip to the planar end surface of the second strip to form a dual bias weld. Excess weldment is then removed from top, bottom and edge surfaces of the composite strip such that the width of the weld is identical to the width of the first and second strips. Coiled metal tubing is then formed from the composite strip.
