Manufacturing Process
The Process utilizes the latest technology and modern
equipments for producing high quality ERW pipes.
1.
Slitting
HR
Coils are slitted to predetermined widths for each
size of pipe and thickness.
2. Uncoiling, end shearing and welding
Slitted coil is uncoiled at the entry of ERW mill
and the ends are sheared and welded one after another
to make it a single endless strip.
3. Forming
Slitted coils are initially formed into U shape
and then into a cylindrical shape with open edges
using a series of forming rolls.

4.
Welding
The open edges are heated to the forging temperature
through high frequency low voltage high current
and press welded by forge rolls making perfect and
strong butt weld without filler materials.
5. Debeading
Weld flash on top and inside (if needed) is trimmed
out through carbide tools

6.
Seam Annealing
Whenever required, welding portion and heat affected
zone is put to normalising with medium frequency
normaliser and then cooled down in air cooling bed.
7. Sizing
After water quenching, slight reduction is applied
to pipes with sizing rolls to give them desired
accurate outside diameter.
8. Cutting
Pipes are cut to required lengths by flying cut
off disc/saw cutter.

9.
Facing and Beveling
The pipe ends are faced and beveled by the end facer.
All the processes are continuous with auto arrangements.
These plain ended tubes go for further processing
as per the customer need like galvanizing, threading,
black varnishing etc |
