High-frequency Resistance Welded Steel Pipe (ERW)

Product Overview

ERW steel pipes are made by cold-bending hot-rolled steel strips, then heating the edges of the strips to a molten state using the skin effect and proximity effect of high-frequency current, followed by extrusion welding to form a straight seam. HFW (high-frequency welding) is an upgraded process, offering more stable welding quality.

Product Details

Product Advantages

High production efficiency : continuous coil feeding, fast welding speed, and lower cost than seamless pipes.

Good dimensional accuracy : small tolerances for outer diameter and wall thickness, and regular pipe end bevels.

Reliable weld quality : The HFW process results in a small heat-affected zone in the weld, meeting API 5L PSL2 requirements.

Smooth inner and outer surfaces : free of oxide scale, low internal wall resistance, suitable for fluid transport.

Corrosion-resistant coating can be applied : The base pipe is easy to undergo secondary processing such as 3PE, FBE, and galvanizing.

Application Areas

City gas, tap water, fire protection pipelines

Low-pressure oil and gas gathering and transmission pipelines

Structural pipes: scaffolding, guardrails, steel structure supports

Mechanical parts: drive shafts, idlers, automotive mufflers

Pipe piles: suitable for small-scale pile foundation projects

Spiral Submerged Arc Welded Steel Pipe (SSAW)

Our spiral welded pipe rolling mill is independently developed and manufactured by our company. We have an annual production capacity of 300,000 tons of pipe, with spiral welded pipe specifications ranging from DN219 to DN3600. Our entire production line can be transferred to the project site. This feature not only reduces pipeline transportation costs but also minimizes pipeline damage during transportation and helps ensure timely project execution by providing continuous and dedicated pipeline supply for specific projects.

Seamless Steel Pipe

Seamless steel pipes are manufactured through piercing, hot rolling, or cold drawing processes, resulting in a pipe without any weld seams. Hot-rolled pipes are suitable for medium to large diameters and thick walls; cold-drawn pipes offer higher dimensional accuracy and smoother inner and outer surfaces, and are widely used for conveying high-pressure, high-temperature, and corrosive media.

Straight Seam Submerged Arc Welded Steel Pipe (LSAW )

LSAW steel pipes use thick steel plates as raw materials. Through JCOE (progressive bending forming), UOE (U-shaped-O-shaped-expansion) or direct forming processes, the steel plates are gradually pressed into a cylindrical shape, and then a straight weld is formed by double-sided submerged arc automatic welding.
