Features

1. Installed Capacity: 15-16 million meters per year (max.) in two shift operations.

2. Product Range: ‘/2″ to 14″ nominal dia pipes.

3. Galvanizing Capacity: Maximum 4 ton per hour.

4. Production Process: Electricity resistance Welding (ERW) and solid state welding process, employing high frequency system is used for manufacturing the pipes. Pipes are galvanized by Hot Dip Galvanizing process.

5. End Finish: G.I. pipes are taper-threaded as per B.S.-21 pipe thread; Black pipes are either plane-ended or beveled.

6. Pipe Grade/Brand: Depending on size and wall thickness pipes are manufactured in the following brands-:
-Union silver
-Union Gold
-Union Diamond
-Union Ruby

Special Size: To meet customers specific requirements for pipes with special thickness are tailor-made on confirmed order with advance if the quantity is reasonably high and suitable fore batch production.

Hydrostatic Testing: All Pipes are tested at a hydrostatic test pressure 01 712 PSI (50 kg/cm2), on hydrostatic machine.

Tolerance on Dimensions: Pipes are manufactured in different sizes with different wall thickness and marked with different brand seal (Silver, Gold etc.). Diameters of pipes are within the tolerance level of maximum and minimum diameters. The standard length of the pipes are 6.1 meters (20 ft.) with a tolerance ± 3mm.

Standards: General purpose mild steel tubes/pipes are produced according to the Japanese standard JIS G 3132 SPHT 1 (British Standard BS-1387) and Bangladesh Standard BDS-1031. Galvanizing is done according to the British Standard BS-729 which is equivalent to DIN-2444 and IS-4736.
