MS pipes, also known as Mild Steel pipes, are a type of steel pipe manufactured using low carbon steel (typically less than 0.25% carbon content). This low carbon percentage makes them highly malleable, ductile, and easy to work with, allowing them to be easily welded and formed into various shapes and sizes for different applications. They are known for their balance of strength and flexibility, making them a versatile and cost-effective choice in many industries.
These pipes are widely used across various sectors due to their durability, affordability, and ease of fabrication. Common applications include plumbing and water supply systems, firefighting, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. They are also extensively used in construction for structural support, scaffolding, and fencing, as well as in the automotive industry for exhaust systems and other components.
The manufacturing process for MS pipes typically involves forming steel plates or coils into a cylindrical shape. This can be done through methods like roll forming, where a steel strip is gradually shaped by rollers. The edges are then joined using welding techniques such as Electric Resistance Welding (ERW) or Submerged Arc Welding (SAW). After welding, the pipes undergo sizing, straightening, and often heat treatment to improve their mechanical properties, and may be coated with paint, varnish, or other materials to prevent corrosion.
