Core Advantage: Endorsed by Two Major International Standards, Meeting the Broadcast Industrial Application Needs
ERW (Electric Resistance Welded) pipe is manufactured by forming hot-rolled coils into shape and welding using high-frequency current. Our products simultaneously comply with ASTM A53 (General Piping Standard) and API 5L (Line Pipe Standard) Grade B requirements – the most widely used dual certification in the carbon steel welded pipe industry. From construction scaffolding to oil & gas transmission, from fire sprinkler systems to machinery manufacturing, this "dual-certified" welded pipe has become the preferred choice for engineering projects due to its stable quality and economic efficiency.
We provide more than just welded pipes; we offer universal solutions for your projects.
Why Choose ASTM A53 / API 5L Grade B ERW Welded Pipe?
1、Dual Certification, Multiple Applications
Meeting both ASTM A53 Grade B and API 5L Grade B requirements simultaneously means the same pipe can be used for general purposes like construction and fire protection (ASTM A53) as well as low-pressure oil & gas transmission lines (API 5L). One pipe, multiple applications, simplifying inventory management.
2、Flexible Wall Thickness, Choose as Needed
SCH40 (Standard Wall) : The most commonly used schedule, balancing strength and economy, widely applied in general piping and structural support.
3、SCH10 (Thin Wall) : Lighter weight, lower cost, suitable for low-pressure fluid transmission and non-load-bearing structures.
Additional schedules including SCH20, STD, SCH80 available, covering 0.8mm-22mm wall thickness range.
4、ERW Process, Efficient and Precise
Manufactured using High-Frequency Welding (HFW) technology, with 100% online ultrasonic inspection and eddy current testing ensuring reliable weld quality. Compared to seamless pipes, ERW welded pipes offer advantages of high dimensional accuracy, uniform wall thickness, and lower production costs.
5、Diverse Surface Finishes
Black Pipe: Coated with varnish or rust-proof oil, suitable for indoor piping, fire protection systems, gas transmission.
Galvanized Pipe: Hot-dip galvanized treatment for enhanced corrosion resistance, suitable for outdoor, humid environments, and water pipelines.
6、Reliable Mechanical Properties
Grade B material ensures stable mechanical performance: Tensile Strength ≥415 MPa, Yield Strength ≥240 MPa. Chemical composition strictly controlled with low carbon equivalent, offering good weldability and formability.
Key Application Areas
Construction & Structure: Scaffolding, steel structure supports, building fencing, greenhouses.
Fire Protection Systems: Automatic sprinkler systems, fire water pipelines (black pipe widely used for its heat resistance).
Oil & Gas: Low-pressure gathering lines, oilfield surface process piping.
Water Conservancy & Municipal: Water transmission pipelines, sewage discharge, cable conduits.
Machinery Manufacturing: Conveyor rollers, machinery frames, automotive chassis components.
General Piping: Compressed air lines, heating pipelines, ventilation ducts.
