The invention relates to a production method of a bearing steel pipe, which comprises the following steps of: smelting in an electric furnace or a converter according to GCr15, and refining in an LF (Ladle Furnace) furnace; when a molten steel temperature rises to 1550-1570DEG C, adding Cu; then, blowing argon for 3-5 minutes; carrying out vacuum processing and continuous casting, and forming round bar steel; heating the round bar steel; carrying out rough rolling and fine rolling; and carrying out spheroidizing heat treatment; and scouring, saponifying, cold drawing, and carrying out flaw detection and packaging according to the conventional method. Because the traditional mode of simultaneously adding all effective alloy elements by the GCr15 bearing steel pipe is changed by the production method, a mode of adding a Cu element and other effective elements by steps is adopted, which is favorable for the temperature rise speed and the slagging speed of the molten steel, impurities, especially S and P in the steel, can be excellently removed, steel cleanliness is improved, and the surface quality of the bearing steel pipe is improved.
