Product
National supplier of ERW steel tube
Like BlueScope Distribution’s other varieties of steel tube, ERW tube is available in round, square, and rectangular sections. These sections can also be supplied in different widths, heights, and wall thicknesses, depending on the project requirements.

ERW tube is a variety of steel tube that is made from sections of steel that are heated and rolled into shape, then welded into position to form a seam lengthways along the section.
Unlike other forms of tube such as regular welded pipe, or spiral weld pipe, ERW tube is distinct in that the seams formed from the weld are invisible, meaning it does not need to be worked further in order to hide the seam in instances that it should not be visible.
As ERW tube is created using this unique, seamless manufacturing process, it is less suited for heavy load bearing uses than regular varieties of structural tube. ERW steel tube is often used in less strenuous contexts, such as automotive parts, fencing, scaffolding and balustrades.
