High-Performance ERW Carbon Steel Pipes: Precision-Engineered for Structural & Fluid Transport Applications.
ERW Welded Steel Pipes: Multi-Standard Compliance & Robust Construction
Manufactured from low/medium-carbon steel via Electric Resistance Welding (ERW), these pipes combine cost efficiency with high yield strengths (195-345 MPa). Available in 1/8″–6″ diameters (6–165mm) and 2.0–5.5mm wall thicknesses, they meet ASTM A53 (fluid transport) and ASTM A500 (structural) standards. Bare or epoxy-coated surfaces suit indoor/outdoor use.
