Our Range of Tubes and Sections
ERW Tubes (Electric Resistance Welded Tubes): ERW Tubes offer exceptional dimensional accuracy and surface finish, making them ideal for structural, mechanical, and automotive applications. We supply both round and square ERW tubes in S235 and S275 grades. ERW tubes are manufactured by forming steel strip and welding the seam longitudinally, resulting in consistent wall thickness and excellent dimensional accuracy.
