Product Introduction: Electric Resistance Welded (ERW) Pipe
Electric Resistance Welded (ERW) pipes are a cornerstone within the pipeline industry, playing a critical role in various applications ranging from oil and gas transport to structural applications. The primary method of production involves resistance heating to create a solid-phase butt weld along the length of the pipe. In recent years, many manufacturers have upgraded to High Frequency Induction (HFI) heating. This advancement allows for better control over the welding process, ensuring consistent quality and reducing the incidence of defects.
Despite this evolution, the term "ERW pipe" remains the industry standard for describing these welded pipes, underscoring their importance and widespread use globally.
