About ERW Tube

ERW stands for electric resistance welded - the tube is formed from steel strip and welded along its length, giving a strong, dimensionally consistent round tube with a smooth finish. Grade E220 is a common mild steel tube grade well suited to fabrication, framework and general engineering. ERW tube is supplied in a mill finish and is not corrosion-protected, so for outdoor or damp use it should be cleaned and protected with a suitable coating.

Common Uses

Frames and structures, handrails and barriers, rollers and shafts, furniture and fabrication, repair work, and general engineering and DIY.
