ERW Steel pipe

ERW steel pipes are manufactured by low-frequency or high-frequency resistance "resistance". They are round pipes welded from steel plates with longitudinal welds.

There are a lot of pipes could be manufactured by ERW process. Here below we list for the most common standards in pipelines.

Manufacturing Process of ERW steel pipe                                                                                                                                                                                 
Electric Resistance Welded (ERW) pipe is manufactured by cold forming a flat steel strip into a rounded tube and passing it through a series of forming rollers to obtain a longitudinal seam. The two edges are then simultaneously heated with a high frequency current and squeezed together to form a bond. The longitudinal ERW seam does not require filler metal.

Transportation of ERW steel pipe                                                                                                                                                                                                         
When transporting, loading and unloading erw welded pipes, special hoisting and transportation tools should be used to avoid scratching the surface.
