What is Black Pipe ?

The Black Pipes are made from steel as well as iron and are widely suited for water supply and flammable gases. Our pipes are developed under the stringent supervision of experienced engineer’s team, who tests these on several quality parameters. The black pipes are available in various lengths and thickness as per the suitability of our clients. These pipes are also used in many places to transmit natural gas or propane fuel, heating or cooling water to heat exchanges, air handlers, and variable air volume devices.
Available Shapes:  Round, Rectangular & Square

Uses

Black pipe is a high-strength pipe that is coated with iron oxide. It is commonly used for gas distribution to homes, to carry potable water or hot water from boilers, or to drain wastes. It is also used to transport oil by the oil industry.

Black pipe is used for carrying natural or manufactured gas such as propane, water, oil, and steam. The pipe, which consists of non-galvanized steel, is widely available but more expensive to install.

Features

Black pipe can be installed underground, which is not true of all piping. It is available in lengths that are pre-threaded. A hardware store will typically cut the pipe to order and thread it. Larger diameter black pipe is welded instead of threaded.
  • Heat resistant
  • Corrosion resistant
  • Mostly preferred in supply of gas and oil
  • Easy to install
  • Meets all the Indian standards

Additional Information

Black pipe can also be used to protect electrical wiring. It is harder to work with than many other types of pipe, and requires cast iron fittings and special tools, such as a tube cutter and a pipe vise.

Mild Steel Black Pipes is called MS Black Pipe because it is not galvanized and is an ideal product to be welded into pipes, tubes and other kinds of tubing. It is one of the cheapest metals available in the market and can last up to 100 years if placed in a well maintained environment. The high quality steel used to manufacture black pipes makes it one of the most used ones in the construction and general engineering industries today.

What is Black Iron Piping?

Earlier this year, we started selling a selection of black iron pipe and fittings on our web store. Since then, we've learned that a lot of shoppers don't know much about this great material. Simply put, black iron piping is one of the best options for gas lines that exist. It is strong, easy to install, resists corrosion, and maintains an airtight seal. The black coating helps prevent corrosion.

Black iron pipe used to be found in water lines, but has been much more popular for gas since the advent of copper, CPVC, and PEX. It is a great option to gas for two reasons. 1) It is strong, and 2) it is relatively easy to put together. Just like PVC, black malleable iron uses a system of pipe and fittings that fit together with compounds instead of welding. Despite its name, black iron pipe is actually made of a low-grade "mild steel" compound. This gives it much better corrosion resistance than traditional cast iron piping.

Black Iron Pipe Properties

Since this post is all about black iron pipe and fittings, we will go in depth about a few of its traits and properties. It's important to be knowledgeable when it comes to your home's plumbing.

Black Steel Pipe

Black steel pipe is different from galvanized pipe because it is uncoated. The dark color comes from the iron-oxide formed on its surface during manufacturing. The primary purpose of black steel pipe is to carry propane or natural gas into residential homes and commercial buildings. The pipe is manufactured without a seam, making it a better pipe to carry gas. The black steel pipe is also used for fire sprinkler systems because it is more fire-resistant than galvanized pipe.
