What are Mild Steel Pipes (MS Pipe)

ms pipe, ms tube refers to mild steel pipe or mild steel tubes used for industrial and domestic use.

mild steel (ms) pipes are manufactured using low carbon (less than 0.25%) steel. due to low carbon content the pipes do not harden and are easy to use. as ms pipes are made from mild steel they can easily be welded and formed in various shapes and sizes for pipelining and tubing purposes. these are generally used for drinking water supply i.e. plumbing, firefighting, hvac but can also be used in various other industrial and engineering applications. these pipes are usually coated with other metals/paints/varnish etc to prevent it from rusting but extra care should be taken to prevent it under extreme conditions.

features of ms pipes:

below mentioned are the most common and important features of mild steel pipes

·         mild steel pipes are stronger

·         ms pipe has high amount of iron and ferrite which makes it magnetic.

·         ms pipes has a life span of 100 years or more

·         subject to oxidation if not properly coated.

·         affordable when compared to other steels

·         contains low percent carbon

·         ms pipes can be welded easily

·         both pipes and tubes have a high tensile strength

·         ms pipes are readily available and is easy to fabricate.

·        ms pipes comply with astm specifications.

ms pipe specifications:

ms pipe size: 15nb to 900nb

ms pipe width: 500 – 2500 mm

ms pipe length: 500 – 10000 mm

ms pipe type: seamless ms steel pipes / welded ms steel pipes / fabricated ms steel pipes
