ERW (Electric Resistance Welding) pipe is manufactured by rolling metal and then welding it longitudinally across its length. Seamless pipe is manufactured by extruding the metal to the desired length; hence ERW pipe has a welded joint in its cross-section, while seamless pipe does not have any joint in its cross-section through-out its length.
Seamless pipe is very expensive, and is only used in certain applications, such as steam condensate return, where ERW (seamed) pipe would not last as long. For a handrail, go with the ERW.
Seamless (SMLS) pipe is formed by drawing a solid billet over a piercing rod to create the hollow shell. Seamless pipe withstands pressure better than other types, and is often more easily available than welded pipe.Welded pipe is formed by rolling plate and welding the seam. The weld flash can be removed from the outside or inside surfaces using a scarfing blade. The weld zone can also be heat treated to make the seam less visible.
Seamless pipe
A cold drawn seamless pipe has better dimensional tolerance, a higher surface finish and better mechanical properties than an equivalent hot finish seamless pipe. For applications that can make use of the thinner pipe walls and closer tolerances, a cold drawn seamless pipe is the better option.

It increases only cost..
it covers both
One pipe is electric resistance welded (erw) the other is extruded through a thimble. In other words one has a seam the other doesn't.
MS pipe refers to mild steel pipe and ERW pipe is electric resistance welding pipe. The difference is ERW is made of very fine hard steel, while MS (black pipe) is made of malleable steel.
