MS ERW / Seamless Pipes
What are MS ERW and Seamless Pipes?
Mild Steel (MS) Pipes are essential components in construction, infrastructure, water supply, oil & gas, and industrial applications. They are manufactured in two primary types – ERW (Electric Resistance Welded) and Seamless.
Asiad Steel Industries supplies high-quality MS ERW and Seamless Pipes compliant with IS, ASTM, and API standards, ensuring durability, reliability, and versatility.

Do you have questions?
ERW pipes are welded from steel coils and are economical for medium-pressure uses, while Seamless pipes are made from solid billets, offering superior strength for high-pressure and critical applications.
Galvanized Iron (GI) Pipes are zinc-coated, preventing rust and corrosion, making them ideal for water and outdoor applications.
Square and Rectangular Hollow Sections are used in structural frameworks, bridges, and engineering fabrications due to their high load-bearing capacity.
Yes, MS ERW and Seamless Pipes can be manufactured in custom lengths, thicknesses, coatings, and grades as per project requirements.
