The  subject  is  engaged  in  manufacturing  various  kinds  of  steel  pipe,  such  as  ERW  carbon  steel  pipe  [black  steel  pipe],  round   pipe  with  O.D.  ˝  to  8’  square  pipe,  rectangular  pipe;  ERW  galvanized   steel  pipe  with  O.D. ˝  to  8  inches;  c-lip  channel;  submerged  arc  welding  pipe  with  O.D.  300  mm  to  3,000  mm.  and  etc.

 

The products are ferrous, steel, iron, brass and bronze, copper, pipes and tubes, sheets, metals trading, plates  and  stainless steel.

 

The  following  table  details  the  statistical  codes  applicable  to the  different  diameters  and  wall  thicknesses  of  pipe.

 

 


Statistical  Description 

 

Code

Not  Exceeding  21mm  external  diameter

 

Exceeding  21mm  but  not  exceeding  60.3mm  external  diameter

31

Wall  thickness  not  exceeding  2.5mm

32

Wall  thickness  exceeding  2.5mm but  not  exceeding  3.6mm

33 

Wall  thickness exceeding   3.6mm

 

Exceeding  60.3mm  but  not  exceeding  114.3mm external  diameter

34

Wall  thickness  not  exceeding  3.2mm

35

Wall  thickness  exceeding  3.2mm  but  not  exceeding  4.5mm

36

Wall  thickness  exceeding  4.5mm

37

Exceeding  114.3mm  but  not  exceeding  165.1mm  external  diameter

 

The  goods  are  produced  according  to  British  Standard  BS  1387,  which  is  equivalent to Australian  Standard  AS  1074.

 

The  goods  as  manufactured  from  hot  rolled  coil  [HRC],  being  rolls  of  flat  steel.  The  HRC  is  first  slit  into a  number  of  desired  widths  and  recoiled.  Then,  in  one  process,  the  flat  steel  is  uncoiled,  formed  into  a  cylinder,  welded  along  the  seam,  sized  to  the required  standard  and  cut  into  lengths of  “black”  pipe.

 

Black  pipe  is  galvanized  by  placing  it  in  an  acid  bath  and  then  coating  it  internally  and  externally  by  immersing  it  in  a  zinc  bath.  The  length  of  time  spent  in  the  zinc  determines  the  thickness  of  the  costing  and  the  protection  given  to  the pipe.  On  being  withdrawn  from  the  zinc  bath,  the  pipe  may  be  air  blown  to  remove excess  zinc  and  produce  a  clean  finish.

 

Each  nominal size  of  pipe  can  be  produced  in  one of  four  grades:  extra-light;  light;  medium; and  heavy.  The  grade  determines the wall  thickness; with  extra-light  being  the  thinnest  and  heavy  being the  thickest.
