This type of tube is manufactured by slitting a coil, which is then form into a round tube and welded into an ERW [Electric Resistance Welded] tube; which is then cold drawned through a die and mandrel, which controls the O.D. and I.D. of the product. This cold worked process increases mechanical properties and improves surface quality of the product.
