Seamless pipe and method for manufacturing same

Abstract

The seamless pipe in which a thin-walled portion in a pipe circumferential direction is formed in a pipe axial direction, in which a line segment formed by connecting one end and the other end of the thin-walled portion along a pipe surface with a shortest distance in a formation direction of the thin-walled portion is inclined at an angle α of 5.0° or more with respect to the pipe axial direction. It is preferable that one end and the other end of the thin-walled portion are set from a region in a pipe selected with a shorter length between a length of 1.0 m in the pipe axial direction and 90% of a length in the pipe axial direction where the thin-walled portion turns once in the pipe circumferential direction.
