A Pipe is a cylindrical, hollow component, mechanically designed to efficiently transport fluids such as potable water, oil, chemicals and gases like Air, Refrigeration gases, and LPG. It is widely used in residential, commercial, and industrial systems to ensure smooth and reliable fluid movement. The applications of a Pipe are diverse, and they are used in systems such as Plumbing, Fire Fighting, HVAC, Ships, and industries such as Food & Beverages, Chemical Plants, Oil & Gas, etc.

Carbon Steel Pipes

Carbon Steel Pipes, often referred to as Black Steel Pipes made primarily of iron and carbon. They are usually coated with a dark varnish or lacquer to provide temporary rust protection during transit. They are manufactured as either Seamless for high pressure or Welded for lower pressure applications.​
Fluids: Crude Oil, Natural Gas, Steam, Potable & Non-Potable Water, Compressed Air
Applications: Potable Water, Non-Potable Water, Steam Supply Lines, Oil & Gas, Fire Fighting, HVAC

Connection Methods: Welding, Threading, Grooving

Pros: Cost Effective, High Strength, Wide Working Pressure Range

Cons: Susceptible to Rust and Chemical corrosion​

Galvanized Pipes

Galvanized Pipes are Carbon Steel Pipes coated with a protective layer of zinc through a process called galvanization. This zinc coating acts as a barrier to protect the underlying steel from rust.
Fluids: Potable Cold Water, Non-Potable Water, Compressed Air
Applications: Water Supply Lines, Outdoor Piping, Scaffolding, Fencing, Irrigation, Fire Fighting, HVAC

Connection Methods: Threading, Grooving

Pros: Cost Effective, Rust Resistant, Weather-resistant
Cons: Internal Rust, Not suitable for Welding & Gas Applications​

Copper Pipes

Copper Pipes are seamless pipes manufactured from pure copper. They are available in hard tempers for rigid lines and soft tempers for flexible layouts, allowing them to suit various pressure ratings and installation requirements. 
Fluids: Potable Water, Refrigerants, Medical Gases, Oxygen
Applications: Domestic Water Distribution, Air Conditioning, Refrigeration Lines, Medical Gas, Heat Exchangers, HVAC
Connection Methods: Soldering, Brazing, Press Connect, Push Connect

Pros: Long Life, Anti Microbial, Fire & Heat Resistant, Ductile, Good Thermal Conductivity

Cons: Acid Sensitive, Requires Insulation​

Stainless Steel Pipes

Stainless Steel Pipes are pipes made from Iron, Carbon and Chromium. This composition creates a self-healing passive layer on the surface that prevents rust and corrosion. Common grades include 304, 316 and Super Duplex.
Fluids: Corrosive Chemicals, Potable Water, Oil, Natural Gas, High-Pressure Steam
Applications: Heat Exchangers, Instrument Lines, Oil & Gas, Plumbing, HVAC, Fire Fighting, Food & Beverage, Pharmaceutical, Chemical Processing
Connection Methods: Welding, Press Connect, Grooved

Pros: Long Life, Superior Corrosion Resistance, High Strength & Durability, Low Maintenance, Hygienic

Cons: Specialized Welding & Installation, Poor Thermal Conductivity​

Alloy Steel Pipes

Alloy Steel Pipes are pipes made from Iron, Carbon, Chromium, Molybdenum and Nickel. These additives improve the pipe's mechanical properties.
Fluids: Superheated Steam, High-Temperature Hydrocarbons, Chemical Gases
Applications: Boilers, Superheaters, Heat Exchangers, High-Pressure Steam Lines, Process Heaters, Oil & Gas, Power Generation & Power Plants
Connection Methods: Welding, Threaded

Pros: Superior Strength, Temperature Resistant, Withstand High Pressure

Cons: Specialized Welding & Installation, Thermal Inefficiency​
