What happened to all the other posts?
xnabar - as said this is very simple stuff easily sourced from the internet.
HSAW Helical Submerged arc weld
ERW - Electric Resistance weld
The number after the X is the grade of pipe to API 5L
used to be ,000 psi SMYS, but now rounded to the nearest 5 MPa, so X 65 is 450 MPa,
Remember - More details = better answers
Also: If you get a response it's polite to respond to it.
