Profile Electric Resistance Welded Pipe that is also known as ERW pipe and it is made of strips of steel that is hot rolled and passed through forming rolls and finally welded together. It is used for usually high diameter. ERW steel tubes are comparatively economical and possess high dimensional accuracy, and can also be produced with thinner wall thicknesses. Owing to these advantages, use of ERW steel tubes had risen steadily in recent years. However, as the properties required for steel tubes used in automobile parts have become stricter, development of a new steel tube which possesses both high strength and excellent formability has been desired. ERW pipe is divided into many different kinds. By end-use it is divided into general pipe, galvanized pipe, oxygen lance pipe, wire casing, metric pipe, roller pipe, deep well pump tubes, automobile tubes, transformers pipes, welding thin-walled tube, welding shape tube and spiral welded pipe. Properties High performance ERW steel pipes and tubes possess high corrosion resistance, high deformability, high strength and high toughness. These pipes are used in fencing, lining pipes, oil country tubular, scaffolding, water and gas conveyance, structural, engineering purposes, etc. There has been tremendous increase in the production of ERW steel pipes due to higher demand in oil and gas industry, infrastructure and automobile uses. ERW Stainless Steel Pipes are extensively used for conveyance of fluids intended for critical high temperature and general. Uses and Applications ERW steel pipes and tubes are used in various engineering purposes, fencing, scaffolding, line pipes etc. ERW pipe is superior ERW steel pipes find its usage in diverse fields. • They are used in various structural and engineering purposes, fencing, line pipes, and scaffolding. • For the purpose of oil country tubular, water and gas conveyance ERW steel pipes are widely used. • There has been a tremendous increase in the use of ERW steel pipes in the sector of automobiles and in the sector of agriculture. • They are equally used for drinking water in housings, in collieries for extraction of water, thermal powers, hand pumps for deep boring wells, and also as strong protection for cables by Telecom Department. • ERW is used for transporting oil, gas and other vapour-liquid objects and can meet the requirements of high and low pressure. • Besides, widely used in aviation, aerospace, energy, electronics, automobiles, light industry used as well as various industry departments. So far, it occupies a decisive position in the field of transporting tube all over the world. • ERW Pipes are extensively used in agriculture, industry and construction activities like scaffolding and casing in bore wells. Market Scenario The pipe market in India is growing steadily and will witness capacity additions as the government gives high priority to developing infrastructure in the country. Pipes are imperative in all natural gas projects and waterways projects. PVC pipes are becoming popular due to a variety of reasons and are seen to replace traditional pipes.
