ASTM A53 GR.B ERW Steel Pipe Welded Black Pipe For Low Pressure Plumbing Systems
ASTM A53 GR.B ERW Steel Pipe Welded Black Pipe For Low Pressure Plumbing Systems
Specifications
ASTM A53 GR.B ERW Steel Pipeis a common carbon steel pipe made using electric resistance welding (ERW) and conforming to the ASTM A53 standard. It is suitable for general use in applications like steam, water, gas, and air lines.
A53 covers Seamless and Welded, Black and Hot-Dipped Galvanized nominal (average) wall pipe for coiling, bending, flanging and other special purposes and is suitable for welding. Continuous-Welded pipe is not intended for flanging. Purpose for which pipe is intended should be stated on order.

Electric-Resistance Welded (ERW) Steel Pipe Manufacturing Process
High-frequency straight seam electric-resistance welded steel pipe(erw steel pipe) is hot-rolled coil after forming machine, the use of high-frequency current skin effect and proximity effects, the tube edge heating and melting, squeeze roller under pressure welding to achieve production.
High-frequency resistance welding steel pipe, welding pipe and ordinary welding process is not the same, the weld is made of the base metal melt from the body, the mechanical strength is better than the general pipe. Smooth appearance, high precision, low cost weld high and small, favorable 3PE anti-corrosion coating. There are significant differences in the welding methods between high frequency welded pipe and submerged arc welded pipe. As the welding is done instantly at high speed, the difficulty of ensuring the quality of welding is much higher than that of submerged arc welding.
