ERW Pipes Manufacturing, Types, and Applications

ERW (Electric Resistance Welded) pipes are one of the most widely used types of steel pipes across industries. Known for their strength, precision, and cost-effectiveness, ERW pipes have become the preferred choice for infrastructure, agriculture, oil & gas, and construction projects.

What Are ERW Pipes?

ERW pipes are steel pipes manufactured by rolling metal and then welding it longitudinally across its length using high-frequency electric resistance. This process ensures strong, uniform, and durable pipes suitable for carrying liquids, gases, and even for structural purposes.


Manufacturing Process of ERW Pipes

The ERW process involves several key steps:

  1. Raw Material Preparation – Steel coils are slit and uncoiled into strips of desired width.

  2. Forming – The strips are shaped into a cylindrical form using rollers.

  3. Welding – The edges are fused together through high-frequency electric resistance, forming a strong seam.

  4. Smoothing – Excess weld material is removed to ensure a smooth finish.

  5. Sizing & Shaping – Pipes are sized into precise diameters and thicknesses.

  6. Testing & Inspection – Pipes undergo hydro testing, ultrasonic inspection, and other quality checks.

This advanced manufacturing ensures high dimensional accuracy, strength, and consistency in every pipe.


Types of ERW Pipes

ERW pipes are available in different types based on application:

  • MS ERW Pipes (Mild Steel) – Commonly used for water supply, irrigation, and scaffolding.

  • GI ERW Pipes (Galvanized Iron) – Zinc-coated for corrosion resistance, ideal for agriculture and outdoor uses.

  • Precision ERW Pipes – Used in the automotive and engineering industries.

  • Structural ERW Pipes – For construction, railways, and airports.


Applications of ERW Pipes

ERW pipes serve multiple industries, including:

  • Water Supply & Sewage Systems

  • Oil & Gas Pipelines

  • Scaffolding & Construction

  • Automobile Frames & Engineering Components

  • Agriculture & Irrigation Systems

  • Defense, Railways & Airports Infrastructure
