ERW (Electric Resistance Welded) pipe is produced by high-frequency electric resistance welding of hot-rolled steel strips or coils. It has a smooth weld line, precise dimensions, high pressure resistance and good straightness.
It is widely used in fluid transportation, structural engineering, water supply & drainage, gas pipelines, piling, scaffolding and general industrial piping, especially for large-volume, cost-effective projects.
