Features
- Precise dimensions & easy fabrication: ERW production line strictly controls dimension tolerance, roundness, and smooth weld seam. Stable chemical composition of carbon and sulphur makes on-site welding, bending and threading less prone to cracking.
- Optional anti-corrosion treatment for long service life: Hot-dip galvanizing is available for humid outdoor environments with zinc coating of 200–500 g/m², providing both physical barrier and cathodic protection.
- Stable pressure bearing capacity: Dense weld and uniform wall thickness, reliable for water and low-pressure gas transmission.
- Optimized container loading to cut ocean freight: Hexagonal bundling with steel strapping maximizes container space utilization and reduces freight cost per ton.
Anti-Corrosion Options
Bare carbon steel is vulnerable in high humidity, salt spray, and outdoor conditions. We provide practical surface treatment solutions:
- Hot-dip galvanizing (HDG): Heavy zinc coating (200-500 g/m² standard), excellent protection for outdoor water pipes, scaffolding, and structural supports.
- Varnish / Black paint: Temporary standard protection for transportation and storage.
Note: For high temperature, high pressure or code-mandated working conditions, seamless pipe (Type S) is recommended.
Applications
- Water supply & irrigation: Main pipes for farm irrigation, water distribution lines, pump pipelines and general utility piping.
- Fencing & security: Galvanized fence posts, cross rails, door frame structures with long outdoor service life.
- Scaffolding & temporary structures: Standard 2-inch pipe for frames, bracing and supports.
- Structural & fabricated parts: Building frames, greenhouse & sunshade structures, equipment guards, storage racks and furniture frames.
- Utility & air piping: Compressed air, low-pressure utility pipelines and general engineering use.
- Building material distribution: Standard stock size for hardware chains, distributors and engineering contractors.
Compliance & Third-Party Inspection
Products comply with global mainstream engineering standards: BS EN 10255 (non-alloy steel tubes for threading and welding), IS 3589 (steel tubes for water supply & drainage), ASTM A53/A135 (ERW resistance welded steel pipe). EN 10204 3.1 MTC is available. Third-party inspection by SGS, BV and other institutes can be arranged to support project acceptance and customs clearance.
Logistics, Packaging & Container Loading
- Packaging: Hexagonal bundles fixed by steel straps. Tags marked with specification, material and heat number attached to each bundle. Extra scratch protection for galvanized pipes and plastic end caps optional.
- Loading plan: 6m pipes fit into 20GP container (weight limited, loading plan to be confirmed before shipment). 12m pipes use 40GP/40HQ or bulk vessel. Evaluate before booking.
- Flexible MOQ: Accept bulk orders and customized dimension orders for projects.
20GP Container Loading Reference
Reference: 6m per piece, single pipe weight = 5.56 × 6 = 33.36 kg; 20GP weight limit approx. 21 tons.
Theoretical loading: ~629 pcs, total weight ≈20.98 tons.
Remark: Actual quantity is subject to bundling, dunnage, and loading scheme, for reference only. Formal loading plan will be provided before shipment.

FAQ
Q: Is 2 inch Schedule 40 pipe welded or seamless?
A: Schedule defines only outer diameter and wall thickness, not manufacturing process. Our standard supply is ASTM A53 Gr.B ERW welded pipe (Type E). Please specify separately if seamless pipe (Type S) is required.
Q: Is standard shipment black pipe or galvanized pipe?
A: Bare black pipe with oil coating is default. Please clearly specify if hot-dip galvanizing is required.
Q: Can you produce threaded ends with coupling or slotted ends?
A: Both available. Please specify end type and thread standard when placing order.
