HI FROM NEW ZEALAND.
What in the U.K. is ERW tube? Is it seamed or seamless,what is the wall thinkness? Cheers Garry.

Elelctric Resistance Welded so it has a seam. You can get in many wall thicknesses and shapes, square round oval etc. It is the standard tube type and is much cheaper than continuously drawn (CDS). It is perfectly good for all bits of Locost and most are built from it.
