Manufacturing Process of IS 3589 / IS 1239 ERW Pipes

To match your seamless pipe sample style, here’s a clear, step-by-step flow:

Raw Material Selection

High-quality mild steel strips or plates are tested for chemistry, hardness, and surface quality.

Slitting & Edge Preparation

Coils are slit into required width and edges are prepared for effective HF/ERW welding.

Forming

The strip is passed through forming rolls to create a circular shape.

ERW / HFW Welding

Electric currents heat the edges → pressure applied → strong forge weld created.

Weld Bead Removal (Internal/External)

Beads are trimmed for a smooth finish for fluid flow and structural uniformity.

Sizing & Shaping

Pipes are calibrated for:

  • OD accuracy
  • Roundness
  • Straightness

Hydrostatic & NDT Testing

All pipes undergo:

  • Hydro test
  • Eddy current test
  • Visual & dimensional inspection

Surface Protection

Pipes are delivered in:

  • Black
  • GI (Galvanized)
  • Painted
  • Varnished
  • Oiled finish

Final Inspection & Marking

Each pipe is marked with:
Grade • Class • Heat No. • Size • Standard (IS 3589 / IS 1239)
