Brief introduction of ERW tube mill & pipe mill The ERW (Electric Resistance Welding) tube mill & pipe mill is a series of machines that builds longitudinal weld seam tubes and pipes with steel strips of certain width. It starts by uncoil and flatten the slitted steel coils into steel strips. The flattened steel strips will then be inserted into the forming machine and the roller tolling in the machine will roll the strip to round pipe shape. The rolled strips will then be sent into the weld box where the tube is welded by a high frequency solid state welder. The welded tubes will be formed to expected shape or size in a sizing machine. Finally the tubes will be cut to length and bundled.
Function: This pipe is used especially for Petroleum, Natural gas, City gas, Pipe network, Chemical industry, Electricity, Steel truss, Water and Gas pipeline; it is widely used for a variety of pressure pipelines.
