    This document discusses different types of pipe construction methods including electric resistance weld (ERW), fusion weld, submerged arc weld, and seamless. It notes characteristics of each such as whether filler material is added, shielding methods, and typical manufacturing sizes. The document also provides information on identifying seamless versus ERW steel pipes using ASTM A53 standards and considering factors like what materials the pipes will carry.

    Pipe Construction

    Types of Welds Figures Characteristics Manufacture


    sizes
    Electric Resistance No material is 24” OD
    Weld (ERW) added during
    welding process 100’ long

    Fusion Weld (FW) or Filler material is


    Spiral Weld (SW) added during
    welding process

    Submerged Arc Weld Molten puddle are


    (SAW) shielded by a
    blanket of
    granular, fusible
    material obtained
    from the
    electrodes
    Seamless (SMLS) Manufactured by 1/8 to 26” OD
    piecing a billet
    16- 20’ long
    Generally more
    expensive

    How to identify if Seamless or ERW steel pipes?

    If ASTM A53 S-seamless


    F- Furnace but welded
    E- Electrical Resistance Welded
    Others Toxic inflammable fluids- seamless
    Utility piping- ERW or Seam Welded
    Steam pipe lines – preferably seamless
