U. S. Steel Tubular Products high frequency electric weld (ERW) line pipe and standard electric resistance weld pipe products are smoothly finished and thin-walled. They are produced by continuously forming coiled hot rolled strip into a tube and welding the longitudinal seam using high-frequency electric resistance welding. Chemical and mechanical property requirements are as prescribed by current API 5L and applicable ASTM standards.

ERW standard pipe and high frequency electric-welded line pipe are widely used throughout the oil and gas industry, as well as for pipe piling and cable pipe systems. With over a century of producing steel products for the energy business, U. S. Steel Tubular Products offers a variety of manufacturing methods to produce steel pipe that can meet our clients’ specific requirements. Contact us to find the right steel for your application.

Characteristics and advantages of U. S. Steel Tubular Products welded line pipe

Some reasons why our customers prefer our welded pipe products:

• Smooth surfaces: Our hot-rolled strip steel is continuously cold formed into smooth-surface, uniform wall pipe for superior coatability and flow characteristics.
• Stronger, lighter walls: U. S. Steel’s higher strength, lighter gauge steel strip is fused by high frequency electric resistance welders into high toughness steel pipe that meets exacting tolerances and strength specifications.
• Uniform dimensions and quality: Our ERW steel pipe products have uniform wall thicknesses made from hot-rolled steel strip. U. S. Steel’s highly automated processes, combined with continuous non-destructive and visual inspection, and hydrostatic testing, means our customers are getting only the highest quality of steel pipe products.
