ERW tubes remain the most popular type of welded tube on the market because they are low cost and can be manufactured relatively easily. The process starts with a sheet of steel which is carefully roll-formed to create a tubular section. The edges of this are then heated using an electrical current. Once they reach the right temperature they are forged together, creating a bond and a seam. Continue reading “The efficiency of ERW”

Electrical resistance welding is a process used to join and fuse two separate ends of tubing together to create different lengths of tubing for a varied range of applications. As a method it offers certain advantages which make it one of the most popular services we offer to our clients. Continue reading “Our innovative electrical resistance welding services”

The weakest part of an ERW tube is naturally the seam, because this is where the break in the material originally existed before the edges were forged together. This weakness needs to be taken into account, particularly if the tubes are to be used to carry liquids or harmful substances. The tubing will need to be regularly checked when possible and closely monitored so that any wear and tear is repaired. Continue reading “Protecting tubing in low temperature settings”

Cold rolled steel offers many advantages when it comes to creating tubes. It is simple to customise, cheap to manufacture and produces minimal waste. The cold rolled steel manufacturing technique involves using strip steel and a series of rollers to form the material into a tube. Once this is done the edges are welded together, creating a “mother tube”. This can then be finished in a number of ways, including adapting the shape and dimensions if required.
