Key Differences between SAW (LSAW, SSAW) and ERW Pipe
From manufacturing processes we can know that SAW (LSAW, SSAW) and ERW pipes are entirely different right from formation, welding etc. and hence, the performance of both the pipes differ in the following aspects: 1. The surface quality of ERW pipes are better when compared to SAW (LSAW, SSAW) pipes, as they are smooth and have a better finish. In most of the SAW pipes, it is mainly about the weld reinforcement internally and externally. 2. The residual stress ratio in ERW is lower than SAW pipes. As ERW pipe deformation happens more in ERW followed by a sizing of flat oval, it results in elliptical vertical changes and necking, thereby making the stress smaller. The displacement of ERW pipes was smaller when compared along the axial and transverse incisions for comparison with SAW pipes built using the same material and it was also easy to detect. 3. The defects found in ERW pipes are lesser than SAW pipes. As there is a solvent deposit in SAW pipes, it results in more de...
