Why to use ERW Pipes? What are applications ?

*ERW pipes Definition:

Electric Resistance Welded = ERW

ERW pipes and tubes are used in various engineering purposes, fencing, scaffolding, line pipes etc. ERW pipes and tube are available in various qualities, wall thicknesses, and diameters of the finished ERW pipes.

Advantages :

As only the edges are heated, the tube possesses dean accurate surface.

Applications :

(i) Electric resistance welding can make tubes in sizes up to 0.4 metre diameter.

(ii) Tubes can also be made from steels having around 0.3% carbon.

Major factor is economy and especially in low pressure application.

*ERW pipes applicatioin:

Water pipelines

Agriculture & irrigation (Water mains, sewerage systems, industrial water lines, plant piping, deep tube-wells & casing ERW pipes)

Gas pipe lines (Pipe lines for natural gas)

LPG and other non-toxic gas
