But first, what is ERW? ERW means "electric resistance welded. ERW pipes are made using a flat steel that is rolled into the shape of a tube. A seam is then created by using a proprietary welding process to weld the edges of the silicone together. This seam is where the two ends of the steel meet. In contrast, seamless pipes are manufactured to a different process. Instead, it begins as a block of solid steel that is heated and then rolled into the tube shape (unsullied by welds). This is precisely why seamless pipes do not have the seam at all. The manufacturing process makes a difference and adds characteristics of the individual pipe type.
So, what are the advantages and disadvantages of each kind of pipe? The cheaper production is another positive side of ERW pipes. This is useful for people who have limited resources to work on a project. Since they are welded together, the joint where both ends of the pipe meet is generally robust. Yet, a potential consistency flaw is the seam with which the welding occurs at. That means, if it gets under too much pressure, there is the possibility of cracking or breaking.
Seamless pipes do not consist of any seams, which means these are much stronger and good in withstanding high pressure compared to welded. They are also commonly the go-to option for projects that need to maintain leak-free integrity as a top priority. If you use pipes in a system of water, you want to check leaks for example. In contrast, seamless pipes require a longer production time with the use of high-quality materials, so they tend to be more expensive than ERW pipes.
The second difference falls with respect to their thickness- ERW pipes are thinner than seamless pipe. Welded ERW pipes have a consistent thickness over the entire body of the pipe. This makes them easier to connect with other pipes when you are constructing or repairing something. You want ensure the pipes fit well together to avoid issues. However, the wall thickness of seamless pipes can vary along the length of the pipe. This means that they may not cut as cleanly, which makes it more difficult to fit them with some other pipes.
Due to above all kinds of parameters, there is no one solution for ERW pipe and Seamless pipe. The correct option relies completely on your requirements as per the project you are working on. There are a few things that you need to think about like cost, power, resistance and if the pipes fit properly with other pipes you will be using.
However, if your project depends hugely on saving money, then this option is the most appropriate for you that is ERW pipe. They cost less money and are still good enough for a lot of purposes. But, If your project calls for a very strong pipe or one that will bear high pressure or wear extreme temperatures than seamless pipe is probably the way to go. Answering that question is wise considering the needs of your project before making a choice.
Overall ERW pipes are organised a bit cheaper and easier to connect with other pipe system, but they offer not as strong construction as seamless. Compared to other type of pipes, seamless pipes are stronger and have wider life expectancy. However, most of the time will be more expensive. Your project will dictate which option is best for you.
