Galvanised Iron (GI) Pipes are manufactured using mild steel strips of Low Carbon Steel Coils. The strips are passed through a series of fin rolls to give them a circular shape. The slit ends of the strips are then welded together by continuously passing high frequency electric current across the edges. The welded steel pipes are then passed through sizing sections where any dimensional deviations are corrected. The pipes are then cut into desired lengths by automatic cutting machines. The tubes are then pressure tested for any leaks randomly. The galvanization and varnishing of pipes are done as per specific requirements.

The GI Pipes are generally used for distribution of treated or raw water in rural or urban areas. These pipes are cheaper, light weight and easy to handle.

Galvanised Iron (GI) Pipe

GI pipes uses:

• Water & Sewage pipes

• Electric poles

• Structural purposes

• Engineering purposes

• Automotive purposes

• Oil and gas transmissions

What is a GI pipe?

These pipes are widely used for conveying raw water & distribution of treated water in majority of rural water supply schemes, where the requirement of water is less. Mostly medium quality GI pipes are used. These pipes are cheap, light in weight and easy to handle & transport & easy to join.

These pipes are widely used for conveying raw water & distribution of treated water in majority of rural water supply schemes, where the requirement of water is less. Mostly medium quality GI pipes are used. These pipes are cheap, light in weight and easy to handle & transport & easy to join. Their sizes vary from 15mm to 150mm. These pipes are manufactured conforming to IS-1239 (pt-I) 1990. Generally screwed & socketed pipes are used. Dimensions & Nominal Mass of Medium Quality Steel Tubes as per IS 1239.
