How to Use a Puddle Flange in RCC Slab Construction – Step-by-Step Guide

-
  A puddle flange is a simple yet essential fitting used in civil construction to prevent water leakage where pipes pass through concrete structures. In RCC (Reinforced Cement Concrete) slabs, these flanges act as a seal that stops water from migrating along the outer surface of a pipe. Whether you are working on water tanks, basements, lift pits, or underground pipelines, installing a puddle flange correctly ensures waterproofing and structural durability. This step-by-step guide from Udhhyog , a leading supplier of GI, MS, and SS puddle flanges in India, explains how to use a puddle flange during RCC slab construction. ๐Ÿงฐ Step-by-Step Guide ✅ Step 1: Choose the Right Puddle Flange Select a puddle flange based on the pipe size and material (MS, GI, or SS). GI puddle flanges are ideal for general drainage and water pipes. Use stainless steel for corrosive environments or coastal zones. At Udhhyog , we provide puddle flanges in custom sizes with...

MS vs. SS vs. GI Pipes: Key Differences & Applications

-

 

✅ Introduction

Choosing the right pipe material is crucial for construction, industrial, and plumbing applications. The three most commonly used types are MS (Mild Steel), SS (Stainless Steel), and GI (Galvanized Iron) pipes. Each has unique properties, making them suitable for different uses.

This guide compares MS vs. SS vs. GI pipes based on strength, corrosion resistance, cost, and applications, with insights from Udhhyog industries in manufacturing and supply.



๐Ÿ”น 1. MS (Mild Steel) Pipes

MS pipes are made of low-carbon steel, offering high strength, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness.

✅ Key Features:

  • High tensile strength and durability

  • Easily weldable and machinable

  • Affordable compared to SS & GI pipes

  • Needs protective coatings to prevent rust

✅ Common Applications:

✔ Construction & structural support (buildings, bridges)
✔ Irrigation & water transportation
✔ Oil & gas pipelines
✔ Automotive & machinery
✔ Manufactured & supplied by Udhhyog-based industries

๐Ÿ”น 2. SS (Stainless Steel) Pipes

SS pipes contain chromium, making them highly corrosion-resistant and suitable for high-pressure applications.

✅ Key Features:

  • Excellent corrosion resistance (ideal for marine & chemical industries)

  • Long lifespan with minimal maintenance

  • High strength and temperature resistance

  • More expensive than MS & GI pipes

✅ Common Applications:

✔ Pharmaceutical & food industries
✔ Chemical processing & refineries
✔ High-pressure pipelines (oil, gas, water)
✔ Marine & offshore structures
✔ Udhhyog industries ensure premium-grade SS pipes

๐Ÿ”น 3. GI (Galvanized Iron) Pipes

GI pipes are steel pipes coated with zinc for corrosion resistance.

✅ Key Features:

  • Rust & weather-resistant

  • Moderate strength & durability

  • Suitable for water supply systems

  • Coating may wear off over time

✅ Common Applications:

✔ Plumbing & water pipelines
✔ Fencing & structural applications
✔ Agricultural irrigation
✔ Fire-fighting systems
✔ Sourced from Udhhyog-based suppliers

๐Ÿ”น FAQs

1. Which pipe is best for industrial use?

✔ SS pipes are best for industrial use due to their high strength, corrosion resistance, and durability.

2. Can MS pipes be used for water supply?

✔ Yes, but they need coatings to prevent rust and corrosion.

3. Why choose GI pipes over MS pipes?

✔ GI pipes are better for plumbing and outdoor applications since they resist corrosion.

4. What are the disadvantages of SS pipes?

✔ High cost and more complex welding process compared to MS pipes.

5. Which industries use Udhhyog-manufactured pipes?

✔ Construction, automotive, oil & gas, water supply, and infrastructure projects.


Each pipe type—MS, SS, and GI—has distinct advantages and applications. Choosing the right one depends on factors like strength, corrosion resistance, and cost.
