Choose the Pipe by Service Environment
ERW pipe is formed from steel strip and joined by electric-resistance welding. Black ERW pipe is widely used for fabrication and protected systems, while hot-dip galvanizing adds a zinc coating for improved corrosion protection in exposed or humid environments.
FCB STEEL checks the intended use, applicable standard, pipe schedule or wall thickness, coating requirement and end connection before quotation. Pressure service and structural use require different technical confirmation.

How to Describe the Pipe You Need
Use OD × wall thickness × length
For a clear inquiry, identify the pipe in a format such as OD 76.2 × 3.0 mm × 6 m, then state the surface and end condition.
- OD / DN: outside diameter or nominal pipe size
- t / Schedule: nominal wall thickness
- L: required fixed or standard length
- Finish: black, oiled or hot-dip galvanized
- Ends: plain, beveled, threaded, grooved or coupled
Do not rely on DN alone when wall thickness, pressure class or connection detail is critical.
Pipe Prepared for the Confirmed Installation Method
Processing and inspection scope is quoted against the purchase specification and approved drawings.
Forming & Weld Control
Strip forming and weld-line condition are controlled to the applicable production requirement.
Threading, Grooving & Beveling
End preparation can be reviewed for fittings, couplings, welding and mechanical joining.
Diameter, Thickness & End Check
Ordered dimensions and end condition are checked against the agreed inspection plan.
Where Galvanized and ERW Pipes Are Used
Final selection depends on design pressure, structural load, corrosion exposure, connection method and local engineering codes.
Fire Protection Systems
Distribution lines and branch piping where the approved standard, pressure class and joint type are specified.
Water & Utility Systems
Industrial and building-service piping selected for the required medium and operating conditions.
Greenhouse Structures
Galvanized frames, arches and bracing exposed to humid agricultural environments.
Agricultural Irrigation
Water-distribution and support applications reviewed for coating and connection requirements.
Scaffolding & Temporary Works
Tube supply for engineered access systems subject to dimensional, strength and local safety requirements.
Electrical Conduit
Protective routing for cables where diameter, coating, bending and fitting compatibility are confirmed.

Order and Shipment Document Support
Before Requesting a Quotation
What information is required for an accurate quote?
Send product type, intended use, standard, grade, OD or DN, wall thickness or schedule, length, quantity, surface, end type and destination port.
What is the difference between black ERW and galvanized pipe?
Black ERW pipe has no zinc coating and is normally protected according to its installation environment. Hot-dip galvanized pipe receives a zinc coating for improved corrosion protection. Suitability still depends on the service medium and project code.
Can threaded, grooved or beveled ends be supplied?
These options can be reviewed against diameter, wall thickness, standard, fitting system and quantity. The accepted end preparation is stated in the quotation.
Can you supply fixed lengths other than 6 metres?
Yes, subject to production, packing and container-loading review. State every required length and tolerance in the inquiry.
Can a specific zinc coating be requested?
Yes. State the required coating mass or thickness and test method. Coating compliance is only confirmed after technical and commercial review.
Can third-party inspection be arranged?
Yes. SGS, Bureau Veritas, TUV or another agreed inspection company can be arranged at the buyer’s request, with scope and cost confirmed before order.
Do you publish a fixed steel price?
No. Steel and ocean-freight costs change frequently. We prepare a current FOB, CFR or CIF offer after confirming specification, quantity, destination port, delivery period and quotation validity.
