Deburring is a common technique used to finish tubing and ensure it meets the required standards. The process removes burrs, ensuring the ends are smooth and straight. It can also be used to smooth down the weld, leaving the tube with a fantastic surface. Continue reading “The importance of smooth tube edges”

There is a wide array of uses for ERW steel tube, including applications in the agricultural, construction, and water industries. The tubes are even utilised occasionally in the communications industry to provide protection for buried cables. Whatever the application it is important that the tubing is made to the highest standards so that it is an accurate shape, has the required strength and durability, and will have a long life cycle.

If you were to ask someone what they thought the main difference was between square and circle tubes we’d reasonably expect them to answer that it was the shape of them. This is of course correct, but it is far from being the only quality which separates them. In terms of which shape ERW steel tubes should be selected for use in a specific project, there are a number of factors which must be taken into account. Continue reading “Which shaped tube is best to use?”

Advances in technology have allowed for production measurements to be made with a level of precision which wasn’t possible with a purely manual approach. The equipment available today allows for extremely low tolerances, which means that products can be measured and cut as an exact match to design specifications. It would, however, be incorrect to say that the technology itself makes this happen. Continue reading “Can robots cut steel tubes perfectly?”

ERW tube is still very widely used today because it is cost effective and can be manufactured in a wide array of shapes and dimensions. You can choose rounded or angular tubing, giving you the opportunity to select the style that best suits the intended function and aesthetics too. There are even processes to create products that have a round or angled exterior but a completely different shaped interior. This means you could have a circular tube with a hexagonal inner diameter for example. Continue reading “Quality ERW tube to suit your application”

In many situations, the ends of steel tubes need to be made safer and with softer edges in order to reduce health and safety risks or ensure stronger joins between multiple tubes. Deburring is the name for this process when it comes to working with metals, and it is one of the most important aspects of our service. While deburring may seem like a simple and straightforward task, it can be responsible for a significant percentage of manufacturing costs. Using our deburring services helps you avert much of the cost impact. Continue reading “Removing the sharp edges from tubes”
