MS is (MILD STEEL) material
ERW is Electric Resistance Welding (as per IS1239 or IS3589)
Stainless steel and carbon steel pipe differ only in their physical properties like elasticity, toughness, and corrosion resistance.
what is weight of 60 dia ms pipe
For ERW MS OR HR TUBE/PIPE below are the important test which has to be done, in order to conform the following standard and stablished Qc guidelines , (a) Tensile Test (b) Drift Expanding Test (c) Flattening test (d) Hardness test of material (e) If the material is soft , Cupping test can be done. (f) Bending Test (g) Eddy Current Test (On-line Test) (h) Zinc Adherence test (If GI pipe)
The difference between MS pipe and GI pipe lies in their composition and resistance to corrosion. MS pipe (Mild Steel pipe) is made from low-carbon steel and is commonly used in structural applications, general fabrication, and low-pressure plumbing where rust is not a major concern. It has a black surface finish and is more affordable, but it is prone to rusting when exposed to moisture. On the other hand, a GI pipe (Galvanized Iron pipe) is essentially an MS pipe that has been coated with a protective layer of zinc through a process called hot-dip galvanization. This zinc coating gives the pipe a silver finish and provides excellent corrosion resistance, making GI pipes ideal for water supply lines, outdoor use, irrigation, and environments exposed to humidity or chemicals. While GI pipes are slightly more expensive than MS pipes, they offer better durability and longer service life in corrosive or wet conditions.
You multiply the number of welds by the diameter of the pipe that those welds are applicable to.
normally thickness will be 3mm. but it defer in sizes
