Tubes are manufactured from mild steel strips slitted from Hot Rolled
Low Carbon Steel coils conforming to IS: 10748-1995. The strip
passes through a series of drive forming and fin rolls and takes the
required circular shape and is welded continuously by passage of an
electric current of high frequency i.e. 4, 50, 000 cycles/second across
the abutting edges.
The tubes thus formed and welded pass through the sizing sections where
dimensional deviations if any are corrected before the tubes are cut
into required length by automatic cutting machines. The tubes are then
end deburred and pressure tested. Thereafter protective surface
finishing operations such as hot dip Galvanizing or varnishing is done
as per specific requirement. The tubes are offered as plain, bevelled,
threaded ends or with flanges.
