GP Pipes

GP Pipes

GP pipes, or Galvanized Plain pipes, are mild steel (MS) pipes that have been coated with a layer of zinc through a process known as galvanization. This zinc coating provides corrosion resistance, making GP pipes suitable for use in environments where they may be exposed to moisture, air, or other corrosive elements. Unlike GI (Galvanized Iron) pipes, which are usually hot-dip galvanized, GP pipes are typically electro-galvanized, giving them a smoother and more uniform finish.

                      GP pipes are lightweight, strong, and easy to fabricate—making them ideal for a wide range of applications. They are commonly used in the automobile industry, furniture manufacturing, ducting, fencing, and construction, especially where both structural strength and aesthetic appeal are important. Because they resist rust, GP pipes are also used for indoor applications like conduit pipes, support structures, and framing systems where longevity and a clean surface finish are desired.

                     One of the main benefits of GP pipes is that they combine the strength of mild steel with the protective properties of zinc, increasing their durability in moderately corrosive environments. However, they are less corrosion-resistant than hot-dip galvanized pipes (GI pipes) in highly aggressive conditions, such as marine or chemical environments. Still, for general-purpose indoor and light outdoor uses, GP pipes offer a cost-effective and reliable solution with good mechanical properties and corrosion protection.
