Seamless boiler steel pipes material specification
Seamless boiler steel pipes are essential components in power plants, industrial boilers, and other high-temperature and high-pressure applications. They are primarily classified into medium-pressure boiler tubes and high-pressure boiler tubes, both of which are manufactured using seamless technology rather than welded steel pipes. This ensures superior strength, reliability, and resistance to high-temperature and high-pressure conditions.

ERW pipe welding code - common defects and prevention strategies
ERW (Electric Resistance Welding) pipes are manufactured by welding steel plates, with the weld seam formed by melting the base material of the steel strip. This results in superior mechanical strength compared to conventional welded pipes. The most distinguishing feature of ERW pipes, in contrast to seamless steel pipes, is their weld seam, which directly influences their quality. However, welding defects pose a major challenge in ERW pipe production, affecting safety, structural integrity, and increasing manufacturing and maintenance costs. Understanding common welding defects and their preventive measures is essential for enhancing the quality and reliability of ERW pipes.
