Cold Drawn ERW Tube (CEW)

EN 10305-2 (Previously BS6323 Pt 6 : 1982 CEW1)

Available in diameters from 6.35mm to 127.0mm.

The CEW tubes are used in various applications requiring, high precision dimensional tolerances, better surface finish, high tensile properties and can be produced in ‘non standard’ sizes upon request.

Similar to CFS, this product starts as a welded tube and is subsequently cold drawn.
The range is available in diameters from 6.35mm to 127.0mm.
