ERW and LSAW steel pipes are widely used in oil and gas transportation, water supply, construction, and infrastructure, but their manufacturing methods, dimensional ranges, costs, and applications differ. ERW pipes are formed from steel strip or coil and welded by electrical resistance, supporting e
READ MOREStraight seam welded steel pipes are widely used in water, oil, natural gas, and industrial fluid transportation across municipal, energy, and manufacturing projects. Common types include ERW pipes for water distribution and selected oil and gas applications, and LSAW pipes for large-diameter, highe
READ MOREWeld inspection is critical for straight seam welded steel pipes used in oil and gas, water supply, construction, and industrial pipelines, because weld integrity directly affects strength, safety, and service life. Common weld defects include cracks, porosity, lack of fusion, incomplete penetration
READ MOREAPI 5L straight-seam welded steel pipes are widely used in oil and gas pipelines and industrial infrastructure. Buyers should first distinguish between PSL1 and PSL2: PSL1 provides baseline chemical, mechanical, and testing requirements, while PSL2 adds stricter controls on composition, toughness, n
