Mild Steel Pipe

Mild steel pipes, also known as low-carbon steel pipes, are commonly used in various industries due to their strength, durability, and versatility. They are characterized by their low carbon content, typically ranging from 0.05% to 0.25%, which contributes to their excellent machinability and weldability.

Specifications:

• Diameter: Mild steel pipes come in a range of diameters, from small bore sizes of 1/2 inch to large diameters exceeding 24 inches. Custom diameters are also available to meet specific needs.
• Thickness (Wall Thickness): Available in various wall thicknesses, commonly referred to as schedule numbers (e.g., Schedule 40, Schedule 80) or in nominal wall thicknesses. The wall thickness affects the pipe's strength and pressure rating.
• Length: Pipes can be supplied in standard lengths, typically 6 meters or 12 meters, or cut to custom lengths as required.
• Grades: Common grades include ASTM A53, ASTM A500, and EN 10219, each offering different mechanical properties and standards.
• Finish: Available in various finishes including black, galvanized, and coated. Galvanized pipes have a protective zinc coating to enhance corrosion resistance.

Applications:

• Construction: Used in structural applications such as scaffolding, supports, and structural frames.
• Plumbing: Commonly used for water and gas supply lines due to their durability and ease of installation.
• Manufacturing: Employed in the production of machinery and equipment, including components and structural supports.
• Automotive: Utilized in the fabrication of automotive frames and exhaust systems.
• Industrial: Used for conveying fluids, including oil, gas, and chemicals, in various industrial processes.

Advantages:

• Cost-Effective: Generally less expensive than higher-carbon steels or stainless steels, offering a balance of strength and affordability.
• Versatile: Suitable for a wide range of applications due to its adaptability in manufacturing processes and ease of installation.
• Availability: Readily available in various sizes, lengths, and finishes to meet diverse needs.
