Most pipes are made by taking a strip of metal, rolling it up and then fusing the seam together. They're almost always weaker along the seam than anywhere else. There are ways of making pipes where the wall is a single piece that hasn't been welded shut. They're stronger , more expensive and they're called seamless.

Difference between seamless and erw pipe?

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.
