What is the Raw material required for manufacturing Seamless & ERW Stainless steel Pipes?

Seamless Steel Pipe is made from a solid round steel ‘billet’ which is heated and pushed or pulled
over a form until the steel is shaped into a hollow tube
To Manufacture ERW Stainless Steel Pipes HR (hot rolled) Coils are required.

What is the Difference between Seamless and ERW Stainless Steel Pipes?
Electric Resistance Welding (ERW) pipe is manufactured by rolling metal and then welding it
longitudinally across its length. Seamless pipe is manufactured by extruding the metal to the desired
length; therefore ERW pipe have a welded joint in its cross-section, while seamless pipe does not
have any joint in its cross-section through-out its length.
In Seamless pipe, there are no welding or joints and is manufactured from solid round billets. The
seamless pipe is finished to dimensional and wall thickness specifications in sizes from 1/8 inch to 26
inch OD. Applicable in for High-pressure applications such as Hydrocarbon Industries & Refineries,
Oil & Gas Exploration & Drilling, Oil & Gas Transportation and Air and Hydraulic cylinders, Bearings,
Boilers, Automobiles
etc.
ERW (Electric Resistance Welded) pipes are welded longitudinally, manufactured from Strip / Coil
and can be manufactured up to 24” OD. ERW pipe cold formed from a ribbon of steel pulled through
a series of rollers and formed into a tube which is fused through a electric charge. It is mainly used
for low/ medium pressure applications such as transportation of water / oil. Pearlites steel is one of
the leading ERW Stainless Steel Pipes Manufacturer and exporter from India. Contact us for product
details.
Common sizes for ERW Steel Pipe range from 2 3/8 inch OD to 24 inch OD in a variety of lengths to
over 100 feet. Surface finishes are available in bare and coated formats and processing can be
handled on site to customer specifications.
