Advantages of Welded Steel Pipe
Structural welded steel pipe can be used for a wide range of mechanical applications. Its close tolerances, good finish, and dense structure make it ideal for parts such as structural support and parts, frames, trailer beds and trailer components, structural components and supports for buildings, bridges, and highways, transportation, machine parts and a wide range of applications in industrial, construction, automotive, appliance and agricultural industries.
Welded steel pipes are generally more cost effective than the equivalent seamless alternative. They are more available both from distributor and mill stocks and from a mill production lead time perspective. With longer lead times SMLS pipes can be exposed to unknown alloying price extras that can fluctuate substantially, thus it can be difficult to plan and predict the true costs for the material. Therefore in addition to faster delivery times for ERW, there is the added advantage of lower economical risk. ERW welded steel pipes generally have better surface quality as compared with manufacturing seamless tubes. Seamless tubes are generally made in multiple steps starting with hot extrusion to form the tube hollows from raw material billets.
