Steel pipes have been manufactured since the 1800s, and the first automated process to manufacture them was devised in England in 1812. Since then, a variety of techniques have been used to make tubing from a range of different steels. ERW (electric resistance welding) is one of the oldest methods and continues to be popular today. The only older technique is lap welding but this is no longer used because the welds it produces are not reliable. An equation devised by ASME found that lap welded pipes only had a joint factor of 0.6 whereas seamless ones have 1.0. Continue reading “The various techniques used to manufacture steel tubing”

The history of metallurgy is very interesting, and has facilitated a huge number of technological advances and developments. Nowadays metals have many different alloys to give the material specific properties. You simply have to look at the wide variety of different steels to see how far metallurgy has come. Steel itself is an alloy of iron and carbon but other elements like nickel, chromium and even silicon can be introduced to make completely different ones that can be used for a wider range of applications.

ERW tubes are sturdy, durable and reliable, which makes them an excellent choice for many different applications. They are made from steel plate which is submitted to a process known as electrical resistance welding. This welding uses heat to fuse the edges of the rolled plate together to create a sturdy and tight tube. The resultant ERW tube combines high strength with superior corrosion resistance. In order to offer our customers these tubes for their needs, we can cut them to any size required, as well as deburring them. Continue reading “Cutting and deburring tubes”
