What is Mild Steel Pipe?

Mild Steel Pipes or MS pipes are a range of industrial pipes manufactured with low carbon steel (containing less than 0.25% of carbon). The carbon steel or plain steel has long been admired for offering versatile applications and cost effectiveness. Iron contains huge percentage of carbon, thus making it hard and restricting its usage to hard pipes and similar applications. Carbon steel, owing to less carbon content, is not only ductile and malleable but can be easily transformed to serve various tubing and pipe lining needs. Mild steel tubes and pipes are easily fabricated, available readily and are more affordable compared to pipes made of other materials. If the environment is well protected, the life of these pipes and tubes is about 50 to 100 years.

What is the meaning of MS pipe?

Usually these pipes are coated with other materials like copper to protect them from corrosion. Pipes made from mild steel are used for not only structural purposes but also for mechanical and general engineering purposes. They are also used for the supply of drinking water and chlorination and sodium silicate prevent corrosion. It is necessary to take extra care of mild steel pipes to prevent them from rusting. Mild steel pipes are also known as MS pipes and the term MS pipe is a specification for pipes made of steel with low carbon content.

What is the difference between GI and MS pipe?

GI pipes are galvanized iron pipes. However, nowadays the term GI pipes is used for galvanized steel pipes. These pipes are made from steel which is hot dipped in zinc. These GI pipes are used for plumbing, and other water supply purposes. Mild steel is available economically in a variety of structural shapes which can then be welded into pipes, tubes and other items. Mild steel tubes and pipes are easy to fabricate and are less costly. The best part is that mild steel pipes and tubes are readily available anywhere in the world.
