Steel tube and pipe solutions
SAE International, as a standards organization, maintains several alloy numbering systems, one of which, for steel grades, is the SAE steel grades system. In the 1930s and 1940s the American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) and SAE were both involved…
ASTM International, known until 2001 as the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), is an international standards organization that develops and publishes voluntary consensus technical standards for a wide range of materials, products, systems, and services. ASTM’s steel standards…
Seamless Pipe. Tubular product made without a welded seam, manufactured in a hot-forming process using an extrusion or drawing process that can be followed by cold sizing or cold finishing to produce the desired shape, dimensions and properties.
This month we take a hard look at the differences between ERW, DOM and Seamless Tube. ERW (Electric Resistance Welded) The nomenclature ERW refers to a specific type of welding process that involves both spot and seam welding. Seam welding…
Round tubes are round, cylindrical shapes that are hollow. Round tubes have a wide variety of structural and architectural applications. Unlike pipes, tubes are measured by their outside diameter and their wall thickness. Some examples of tube applications would be…
Looking for an EN10204, 3.2 Certification? EN10204 is a Euronorm (issued by the European Community) specification that describes different types of material test reports and certifications. The standard contains no requirements relative to actual material requirements. The most common reference…
Because they have different scope and specify different type of pipe, then the manufacturing process and required quality control test and inspection will be different to each other.
Here are some of the advantages of both types of pipes to help you make your decision.
Welded vs. seamless. It’s a debate that’s been around for a long time, and it’s still going strong today.
DOM Steel Tube is produced using uniformly high quality C1020 steel strip and is formed and electric resistance welded into its basic shape.
