ERW Steel Pipes: Top Supplier for Construction, Oil & Gas – Middle East, West Asia, Africa

Electric Welded (ERW) steel pipes are manufactured using advanced electric fusion welding techniques, ensuring exceptional structural integrity and superior weld quality. Engineered to thrive in the harsh conditions of Middle East deserts, West Asian mountainous regions, and African tropical climates, these pipes deliver uncompromising strength, durability, and leak-proof performance – critical for regional construction, oil & gas, and utility projects.

Specifications

Diameter: 

1/2" to 24" (DN15 to DN600) – ideal for large diameter water pipeline projects across Africa and the Middle East

Wall Thickness: 

0.5mm to 25mm – engineered to withstand regional pressure, load, and environmental stress

Length: 

6m to 12m (custom lengths available) – flexible for logistics in remote African sites and Middle Eastern construction hubs

Material Grades

Carbon Steel: 

ASTM A53 Gr. A/B, API 5L Gr. B/X42/X52/X60 – primary grades for Construction welded pipe, API 5L gas welded pipe, and carbon steel pipe water gas supply applications

Low-Temperature Steel: 

ASTM A333 Gr. 1/Gr. 6 – suitable for extreme temperature fluctuations in West Asian highlands

High-Strength Steel: 

ASTM A500 Gr. B/C, ASTM A252 (for piling) – perfect for Welded Structural pipe in heavy-duty African and Middle Eastern construction projects

Manufacturing Process

1. Coil Preparation: 

Uncoiling and precision leveling of high-quality steel strips to ensure consistency for building construction steel pipe production.

2. Forming: 

Roll-forming into cylindrical shapes with tight dimensional control – critical for large diameter water pipeline assembly.

3. Welding: 

High-frequency induction welding (HFW) or contact welding – creates uniform weld seams with mechanical properties matching the base metal, ideal for API 5L X52 and structural applications.

4. Sizing & Straightening: 

Precise calibration for roundness and straightness, ensuring compatibility with regional fitting standards.

5. Testing & Inspection: 

Hydrostatic, ultrasonic (UT), eddy current (ET), or X-ray testing – 100% quality checks to meet Iraq API 5L gas welded pipe procurement and African utility safety requirements.

Performance & Advantages

High Strength: 

Uniform weld seams ensure reliability for Welded Structural pipe and heavy-load construction in Middle East, West Asia, and Africa.

Exceptional Dimensional Accuracy: 

Tight tolerances for OD, WT, and straightness – enables seamless integration into large diameter water pipelines and construction projects.

Excellent Weldability: 

Suitable for on-site fabrication (bending, flanging) to adapt to diverse regional project needs.

Cost-Effective: 

More economical than seamless pipes for medium-pressure applications, reducing project costs for budget-conscious African and Middle Eastern clients.

Corrosion Resistance: 

Smooth, burr-free surface optimized for coating/galvanizing – critical for desert (sand, salt) and tropical (humidity) environments.

Regional Adaptability: 

Engineered to withstand extreme temperatures (50°C+ in Middle East deserts, -10°C in West Asian highlands) and harsh terrain.

Applications

Construction: 

Structural columns, scaffolding, fencing, piling – our Construction welded pipe and Welded Structural pipe are trusted by construction steel pipe suppliers across the region.

Oil & Gas: 

Water injection lines, gathering pipelines, casing pipes – ideal for Iraq API 5L gas welded pipe procurement and Middle Eastern energy projects.

Water & Utilities: 

Water supply, drainage, fire sprinkler systems, large diameter water pipelines – a top choice for African and West Asian municipal projects.

Mechanical & Automotive: 

Roll cages, conveyor systems – suitable for industrial manufacturing in regional hubs.

Low-Pressure Systems: 

HVAC, compressed air, hydraulic lines – versatile for commercial and industrial applications.

RFQ Frequently Asked Questions & Answers

1. RFQ Question: As a construction company in Saudi Arabia, we need Welded Structural pipe for a high-rise project. Do your products meet SASO standards, and what material grades are available?

Answer: Yes, our Welded Structural pipes fully comply with SASO standards (mandatory for Middle East GCC markets) and are available in ASTM A500 Gr. B/C (high-strength steel) and API 5L X42/X52 (carbon steel). These grades offer excellent load-bearing capacity and weldability, ideal for high-rise columns and scaffolding. We provide SASO certification with every order, along with material test reports (MTR) to ensure compliance. Custom lengths (up to 12m) and wall thicknesses (3-20mm) are available to match your project’s specific needs.


2. RFQ Question: We are procuring Iraq API 5L gas welded pipe for our oilfield in Basra. Can you supply welded pipe API 5L X52, and what testing certificates will you provide?

Answer: Absolutely. We specialize in Iraq API 5L gas welded pipe procurement and supply welded pipe API 5L X52 (as well as Gr. B/X42/X60) tailored for oil & gas applications. All pipes undergo rigorous testing: hydrostatic (leak-proof), ultrasonic (UT, weld integrity), and eddy current (ET, surface defects). You will receive full certification: API 5L certificate, ISO 9001 quality certificate, MTR, and welding procedure qualification records (WPQR) – all required for Iraqi oil & gas regulatory compliance. We also assist with documentation for Basra port clearance.


3. RFQ Question: We need a construction steel pipe supplier for large diameter water pipelines (16"-24") in Kenya. Do your pipes meet African environmental standards, and what is the lead time?

Answer: We are a trusted construction steel pipe supplier for African projects, and our large diameter water pipelines (16"-24") comply with ASTM A53 standards and SONCAP guidelines (for East African markets). The pipes are treated with hot-dip galvanizing (ISO 1461) to resist Kenya’s humid tropical climate. Lead time for standard orders is 7-15 working days; bulk orders (100+ tons) take 20-30 working days. We partner with Maersk and African logistics providers for on-time delivery to Kenyan ports, with optional door-to-door service for remote project sites.


4. RFQ Question: As a water utility in Jordan, we need carbon steel pipe for water gas supply. Can you provide corrosion-resistant solutions for our desert environment, and what is the warranty?

Answer: Yes, our carbon steel pipe water gas supply solutions are optimized for Middle East desert conditions. We offer two corrosion-resistant options: (1) Hot-dip galvanizing (salt spray resistance ≥ 480 hours) or (2) electrostatic powder coating. Both treatments protect against sand, dust, and extreme temperatures (up to 55°C). All pipes come with a 12-month warranty against manufacturing defects (weld failures, material inconsistencies). We also provide maintenance guidelines to extend service life in desert environments, and our local Jordanian partner offers on-site technical support.


5. RFQ Question: What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for building construction steel pipe in Tanzania, and do you offer on-site installation support?

Answer: Our MOQ for building construction steel pipe in Tanzania is 5 tons for standard specifications (ASTM A53 Gr. A/B, diameter 2"-10"). For smaller projects, we can negotiate flexible MOQs. We offer on-site installation support through our local technical team in Dar es Salaam, including pipe fitting guidance, weld quality checks, and compatibility verification with local fittings. We also provide a detailed installation manual (English + Swahili) to ensure compliance with Tanzanian construction standards. Bulk orders include free logistics to Tanzanian ports and assistance with SONCAP clearance.
