Steel Pipes & Tubes / Welded Pipes
ERW Steel Pipe ASTM A53 Grade B
Electric resistance welded pipe for structural and pressure applications.
Overview
ASTM A53 Grade B ERW (Electric Resistance Welded) steel pipes deliver a cost-effective solution for a wide range of pressure and structural applications. The high-frequency induction welding process creates a fully fused joint with mechanical properties comparable to the parent material, ensuring reliable performance in water, gas, and air service lines.
Key Features
- Cost efficiency — ERW process enables competitive pricing across a wide size range
- Versatile coatings — available black (bare), hot-dip galvanized, or epoxy-lined for corrosion protection
- Wide diameter range — from 1/8" to 26" OD covering most distribution and structural needs
- Weld seam integrity — 100% hydrostatic testing and non-destructive weld inspection per ASTM standards
- Threaded and coupled — available with NPT threading for easy installation in mechanical systems
Typical Applications
Municipal water and gas distribution, mechanical and structural tubing, fire suppression systems, agricultural irrigation, air and steam distribution, and general construction scaffolding.
