What are the advantages and disadvantages of ERW steel pipes?

ERW (Electric Resistance Welded) steel pipes offer several advantages, including cost-effectiveness due to efficient manufacturing processes, good strength and durability, and the ability to produce pipes in various sizes and thicknesses. However, disadvantages include susceptibility to weld defects, which can compromise integrity, and limitations in diameter and wall thickness compared to other types of pipes like seamless pipes. Additionally, ERW pipes may not be suitable for high-pressure applications or extreme temperatures.
