Choosing the right pipes for fire protection can keep people safe. Let\u2019s look at the big differences between welded (ERW) and seamless steel pipes. We\u2019ll check out their strength, price, and how they work to make your\u00a0<\/b><\/strong>fire sprinkler systems<\/b><\/u><\/strong><\/a>\u00a0strong and cool.<\/p>\n

What Are Welded and Seamless Steel Pipes?<\/b><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Steel pipes are really important for stuff like buildings, water systems, and fire sprinkler systems. There are two main types: welded (ERW) and seamless steel pipes. Each has neat tricks that make them good for different tasks.<\/p>\n

What Makes Welded Steel Pipes Special?<\/b><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Welded steel pipes, or Electric Resistance Welded (ERW) pipes, start as a flat steel strip or coil. Workers roll it into a tube. Then, they weld the edges together. This makes a line, or seam, down the pipe. They use cold-formed steel and zap it with resistance welding, no extra bits needed. The inside is super smooth, so water moves fast. These pipes follow rules like ASTM\/ASME or EN standards, which tweak their size and thickness a little.<\/p>\n
