Application of ERW pipes in construction industry
Electric Resistance Welded (ERW) pipes are a type of welded steel pipe manufactured through resistance welding. The production process involves generating heat through electrical resistance at the weld seam, which brings the metal to a molten or plastic state. Pressure is then applied to fuse the materials, creating a strong, durable joint. In essence, ERW pipes utilize the thermal effect of electricity to join metal sections into a continuous pipe. Due to their unique manufacturing process, ERW pipes are widely used in the construction industry. Below, we explore their key advantages and applications.
