The seam of ERW tubes made for mechanical applications is usually only eddy current tested, but we can also offer a range of ERW tubes to EN 10217-1 and EN 10217-2 which have been hydrostatically pressure-tested. These tubes are used in applications such as pressure vessels, heating and refrigeration, boilers, pipelines, and chemical plant.
The tubes are made from black hot rolled strip in thicknesses from 2 mm to 6 mm.
We supply grade P235 as standard, but other grades are available to order. The tubes are suitable for a variety of jointing methods, and we can offer grooved ends suitable for Victaulic couplings.
The default surface finish is black self-colour, but we often arrange for tubes to be galvanized or shot-blasted and painted to our customer’s requirements.
