The ERW pipe can be classified into general pipes, galvanized pipes, metric pipes, roller tubes, automobile tubes. The main function of ERW pipe is for transporting low pressure fluid. There are some methods to testing the bending and flattening capacities, like surface quality.

The quality of metric pipe is similar to that of seamless pipes. The materials used to make metric pipes are general tropic low alloy-based steel, qualified carbon steel. You can use it for making structural components of engine drive shafts as well as transmission fluid.

ERW API steel pipe is designed to satisfy the special requirements for you. Many people do not know how to meaure the pipe diameter, right? First of all, you should prepare tape measures.
