In oil, gas, and fluid transportation projects, SMLS (seamless steel pipe) and ERW (Electric Resistance Welded) are the two most widely used types of steel pipe. Although both are transportation pipes, they differ significantly in raw material selection, production process, microstructure, and performance, which determine their respective advantages and applications. This article will comprehensively compare the advantages of SML and ERW steel pipes in terms of billet quality, geometric dimensions, standard applicability, physical properties, and price.
