What is use of erw pipes?

ERW stands for Electric Resistance welded pipe. A plate rolled to become a pipe and welded using Electric Resistance Welding process. Usully for for high diemeter. (cheapest process avaiable) ERW tubing or Electric Resistance Welded tubing is not as strong as DOM tubing or Drawn Over Mandrel tubing. Usually when tube is made, it starts off as a flat sheet and this is rolled up into a tube and welded. DOM tubing is usually made the same way but there is an extra process where this tube is drawn through a die along with a mandrel to control the outer and inner diameters of the tube. This extra process strengthens the steel since it is cold formed by up to 20%. Another type of common tubing is Chrome-Moly also known as Chromium / Molybdenum Steel. This type of steel also uses the same process but has these additional elements within the steel alloy which increase strength even more. Chrome-Moly is usually used in tubing for cars and other applications over 3500 lbs. Motorcycle Frames and ERW Steel Tubing... Motorcycle frames are made with both ERW tubing and DOM tubing. For small engines with not a tremendous amount of horse power a 1" x 1/8" mild steel ERW tube should be fine. Modern engines with a lot more horsepower as well as stretched frames require at least 1 1/4" x 1/8" wall thickness at a minimum. Bigger choppers even use 1 3/8" x 1/8" walls. More on the overkill side done for design or aesthetics is 1 1/2" tube with 1/8" wall. All applications under 3500 lbs pretty much can get away with using ERW. Roll cages and dune buggies, car frames are almost always made with DOM tubing. All three, Chrome-Moly, DOM and ERW tubing weigh about the same but it is important to note that Chrome-Moly is the strongest, followed by DOM and finally ERW being the weakest of the three. You can take advantage of this by replacing a larger diameter tube with a smaller diameter tube of stronger material. For example, you can replace a 1 1/2" ERW tube with a 1 1/8" DOM or Chrome-Moly tube. The advantage here is that you can reduce your frame weight by making such a change. It is very critical to confirm that it is ok to make this kind of change on your frame. Each frame has a different geometry and different loads that will bend and twist the steel in various ways. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) conducted by a qualified engineer can provide you with correct tube diameters and wall thickness that can be replaced for your specific frame design. ERW has the weld seam on the inside of the tube (see image above). DOM, although made the same way has the additional process of being drawing and the mandrel removes this seam and provides a nice smooth surface on the inside of the tube.

What is the technical difference between tube and pipe?

The primary difference between pipe and tubing is how the size is designated. Pipe is designated by a "Nominal Pipe Size" based upon the ID (inside diameter) of the most common wall thickness. Tubing is designated by the measured OD (outside diameter). For Example: A 3/4 inch iron pipe has an OD of 1.050 inches, while a 3/4 inch steel tube has an OD of 0.75 inches. The Copper industry calls all cooper tubular products "Tubes" but they designate a "Type". Each type has specified OD and ID dimensions The size of a tube is determined by it's OD and the thickness. The actual OD of a tube is just the same as it's nominal OD. A certain size of a tube will keep the same OD no mater what the thickness is. It is true for pipe except that the actual OD is larger than it's nominal OD. For example, for a 1" schedule 5s pipe, the actual OD is 1.315", the thickness is 0.065" and the ID is 1.185". When it's thickness is schedule xxs (0.358"), then it's ID is reduced to 0.599" while keeping it's OD. Furthermore, the actual OD of a pipe is just the same as it's nominal OD when the size is the same as or larger than 14" per ASME/ANSI B36.10/19 . Consequently, both the size of tube and pipe is measured by it's OD and the thickness. Actually tube is used when we need to transfer heat from its walls and we want this to be happen while in pipes we try to stop the heat transfer such as we use tubes in boilers because we make steam we need to transfer the heat while when we transport steam we use pipes because we wana save heat energy. 2: pipe can be thick according to formula d/t >10 while tube will must thin according to this formula. The Real Difference: Sorry to say; wrong! Pipe and tube is ever so simple. Pipes are used to transport something, and tubes to construct something; hence, tubes are defined by the od "outside diamater" and wt "wall thickness" (for construction stability), and pipes id inside diamater to allow a calculation for transportation viz., speed, volumes etc. (od = id + 2 * wt).


A four inch pipe carry how much more volume than a 2 inch pipe?

It is based on the flow area, which is proportional to the square of the diameter. 2 squared = 4. 4 squared = 16. So, the 4 inch pipe can take 16/4 = 4 times the volume of the 2 inch pipe. It might be less confusing if you had picked sizes other than 2 and 4. This is a rough calculation, since pipe inside diameters are not the same as nominal sizes, but close enough for most purposes.

What is the schedule of 16 gauge pipe?

16 gauge pipe refers to the wall thickness of the pipe exclusive of its diameter.It is 0.064 inches thick, this is a steel wire gauge measurement.Pipes are typically sold by schedule numbers. A wall thickness of 0.064 inches would correspond to pipe schedule 40 for 1/8" diameter pipe (0.068"), schedule 10 for 1/4" and 3/8" pipe (0.065") and schedule 5 for pipe diameters 1/2" to 2" (0.065"). Over 2" diameter pipe, schedule 5 (the smallest wall thickness) is thicker than 16 gauge steel.


What is the outside circumference of a pipe if the inside diameter is 1.5 inches and the thickness of the pipe is .25 inch?

The pipe will have an outside diameter of 1.5+.25+.25 = 2". A pipe with an outside diameter of 2" has an outside circumference of 2"*Pi. 2"*3.142 ~= 6.284" or about 6 1/4"


What is difference pipe vs tube?

Pipes & tubes have the same purpose for fluid transfer, however Pip is measured in terms of its Internal diameter (I.D) whereas tubes are measured in terms of its Outside Diameter O.D e.g An 1 1/4 " Pipe will have 1.25" ID + Pipe thickness A 1 1/4" Tube will be its actual OD i.e 1.25


What is the outside circumference of a pipe if the inside diameter is 1 and one half inches and the thickness of the pipe is one quarter inch?

The circumference is about 6.28 (2 pi) inches. This is just addition of the thickness of two opposite walls (1/4" x 2 = 1/2) to the inside diameter (1 1/2 + 1/2 =2), then multiplied by pi.

What is the weight of a 4 inch asbestos-cement pipe?

The weight of a 4-inch asbestos-cement pipe can vary depending on the specific composition and thickness of the pipe. However, on average, a 4-inch asbestos-cement pipe typically weighs around 4.5 pounds per linear foot. This weight is based on the density of asbestos-cement materials and the standard dimensions of a 4-inch pipe. It's important to note that handling asbestos-containing materials requires proper safety precautions due to their health risks.
