Which Iron Pipe and MS Square Pipe Sizes Are Used for Fabrication, Roofing, and Structural Projects?

IN THIS ARTICLE

For fabrication or construction projects, experts recommend using Iron Pipe, MS Square Pipe, and MS Rectangular Pipe, as they enhance the stability of the location. Whether there is a need for gate fabrication, roofing support, plumbing lines, or industrial structures, it is essential to carefully choose the thickness and size. Everything needs to be well thought out, not a last-minute addition. 

Mild Steel Pipes usually come in round, square, and rectangular sections. Each of these options is well-suited to diverse applications. Understanding sizing helps avoid over-engineering or under-engineering. 

What Sizes of Iron Pipes and MS Square Pipes are to Be Used for Construction?

Iron pipes are ideal for transporting liquids, plumbing, and general support structures. However, it also works well under pressure and torsion. Common sizes include ¾ inch and 1 ½ inch. In industrial applications, it can easily reach 4 inches. Load requirements usually play an important role here. On occasion, the wall thickness can range from 0.85mm to 3mm. Depending on the loading requirements, experts usually choose between higher- and lower-grade options. 

MS Square Pipes differ in their sizing convention. It usually comes in sizes ranging between 20X20mm and 91X91mm. Smaller sizes, such as 20X20mm and 25X25mm, with thicknesses ranging from 1mm to 2.9mm. It is mostly utilised for the interior partitions and frames. In contrast, 50X50mm, 72X72mm, and 91X91mm, with wall thicknesses of 1mm and 4mm, work best for roofing, building columns, heavy support systems, and frames.

Which Type of MS Square Pipe Size is Preferred for Fabrication?

MS Square Pipe is mostly utilised for fabrication. Strong geometry and clean shape make it a stable option. It is a suitable option for the railings, display systems, structural framework, and metalwork.

Experts usually follow IS: 4923 to create beautiful and functional MS Pipes. Common options are 20×20 mm and 50×50 mm. However, the thickness usually varies from 0.8mm to 4mm. It can easily support heavy-load applications. General fabrication processes, such as roofing, furniture, and grilling, may require MS pipes with a thickness of 1mm to 2mm. MS pipes align with the fabrication process to deliver balanced structural performance. It usually ensures a clean appearance when used in conjunction with proper architectural design. 

Which Sizes of Square Pipes and Rectangular Pipes are Great for Structural and Roofing Projects?

Structural and roofing projects require load assistance, rigidity, and stability. Therefore, MS Rectangular and Square Pipes are the best options available. For metal shades and roof trusses, experts may recommend using MS pipes sized 40X20mm, 50X20mm, 40X40mm, and 50X50mm. It helps balance the strength in lightweight installations. Rectangular pipes are more efficient for roofing structures. Thanks to the elongated shapes, the load may be distributed evenly. It usually spreads across, decreasing bending.

Structural pipes are used in the framework of the factory and warehouse roof, shed construction, walkways, bridges, and guard frames. In addition to size, it is important to consider span length, wind exposure, expected load, and building code to ensure construction without issues.

How to Select MS Pipe Thickness Based on the Application?

For the furniture and decorations, the recommended thickness is about 0.8mm and 1.2mm, whereas the house sheds and grill can be about 1.2mm to 1.5mm thick. In the case of commercial fabrication, the thickness usually ranges from 2mm to 4mm.

FAQs

1. Do Iron Pipe and MS Square Pipe Serve the Same Purpose?

Not every time. Iron Pipes are mostly utilised for fluid transportation and plumbing. However, MS Square and Rectangular Pipes are an excellent choice for fabrication and structural projects.

2. Does MS Pipe Wall Thickness Impact the Price?

Thicker pipes require more material during construction. Therefore, it is quite natural to observe a price increase with increasing weight.

Include the price Chart.

3. Are Iron Pipes More Durable than MS Pipes?

Iron pipes are comprehensive in nature. Plus, it improves fluid-flow efficiency. In the case of MS Square Pipes, structural rigidity can be maintained during fabrication. Depending on the intended use, experts can advise on the stronger options.
