ERW stands for “Electric Resistance Welded.” ERW Welded Carbon Steel Pipe is a type of pipe that is commonly used in the construction industry, especially for structural applications.
The process of making ERW pipes involves high-frequency electrical resistance technology. The edges of the steel are heated by passing a high-frequency electric current, causing them to melt and fuse together, creating a seam. This seam is then removed or trimmed to create a smooth surface.
The key advantage of ERW pipes is their strength. The welding process creates a strong bond along the length of the pipe, which makes it highly resistant to pressure and mechanical stress. This makes ERW pipes suitable for high-pressure applications like transmission of oil and gas.
Carbon steel, used in ERW Welded Carbon Steel Pipe, is steel where the main interstitial alloying constituent is carbon. It’s a versatile material that can be used in various fields due to its high strength and affordability.
