ERW & LSAW pipe – Dual certified to API and many other specifications for the general construction/fabrication and pressure pipe markets.
ERW and LSAW Pipe Supplier Australia Wide
- Aarbro Steel Trading Pty Ltd are your trusted supplier of ERW & LSAW pipe. Our ERW and LSAW steel pipes are typically used in the oil and gas industry for transporting fluids such as long-distance pipelines, however they can also be used in the piling, construction and general fabrication industries.
What is the difference between ERW and LSAW pipes?
- There are a few main differences between ERW pipes and LSAW pipes.
- ERW pipes are manufactured from steel strip whereas LSAW pipes are manufactured using steel plates; and
- The welding process is different.
ERW Pipes
-
- Electric Resistance Welded (ERW), or High Frequency Welded (HFW) pipe is formed from steel strip by rolling into a tube and then heating the edges by using an electrical current. The edges are then pushed together to form a fusion bond – a bond that does not require any welding wire.
-
-
- The diameters of Electric Resistance Welded pipe ranges from 15mm (½ inch) to 609.6mm (24 inches) and can be a cost effective alternative to
seamless pipes. Some major advantages of ERW/HFW pipe over seamless pipe include; a uniform and precise outer and inner diameter, a closer wall thickness tolerance and good surface quality.
-
LSAW Pipes
- Longitudinal submerged arc welded (LSAW) pipes are manufactured from steel plates, are formed in a hydraulic forming machine and joined by the Double Submerged Arc Welding (DSAW) process. These pipes are usually much larger than ERW pipes, and generally range from 406mm (16 inches) up to 1500mm (60 inches).
- The finished LSAW steel pipe can also be produced in a wide range of specifications for both fluid handling and structural applications. Its major advantages are large diameter heavy wall for greater strength and corrosion resistance.
