Specifications And Uses Of GI Pipes

GI Pipes or Galvanized Iron Pipes are widely used for the purpose of conveying raw water and distribution of treated water in many rural water supply schemes, where the requirement of water is limited.

It is dipped into zinc for protection against corrosion and they are manufactured using mild steel strips of Low Carbon Steel Coils. The steel strips are passed through a series of fin rolls to achieve a circular shape. The slit ends of the strips are then welded together by passing an electric current of high frequency across the edges. The welded steel pipes are then passed through sizing sections where any dimensional issues are corrected and are then cut into desired lengths by automatic cutting machines. Lastly, these are pressure tested for any leaks randomly.

GI pipes are categorised into light, medium, and heavy, depending on their thickness and weight. These pipes are widely used in various applications due to their durability, corrosion resistance, and affordability. By understanding these categories, you can determine the ideal type of GI pipe for your needs .

GI Pipes are Categorised into Light, Medium, and Heavy

GI pipes are classified based on their thickness and specific applications:

- Lightweight GI Pipes: Suitable for low-pressure applications.

- Medium-Weight GI Pipes: Ideal for general plumbing and irrigation.

- Heavyweight GI Pipes: Designed for high-pressure applications like borewells.

Understanding these categories ensures you choose the right GI pipe type for any project.
