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 Pipe – Mild Steel Pipes for Industrial & Construction Use

Introduction



MS Pipes (Mild Steel Pipes) are widely used in industrial and construction sectors due to their strength, durability, and cost-effectiveness. Whether for plumbing, structural support, scaffolding, or manufacturing, MS pipes are an essential material in any infrastructure project.


Short Answer (for Featured Snippet)

MS pipes are mild steel hollow sections used in industrial and construction applications due to their high strength, corrosion resistance (when coated), and affordability. Common uses include plumbing, structural supports, fencing, and fabrication.


๐Ÿ—️ What is an MS Pipe?

MS Pipe refers to Mild Steel Pipe, manufactured using low carbon steel. It is easy to weld, form, and cut, making it suitable for a range of industrial and commercial applications.

Key Properties:

  • Made from low-carbon steel (0.16–0.29% carbon)

  • Easy to fabricate and weld

  • Moderate tensile strength

  • Available in various shapes – round, square, rectangular


๐Ÿ› ️ Applications of MS Pipes in Industrial & Construction Use

๐Ÿ”ง Industrial Applications:

  • Conveyor structures

  • Machine base frames

  • Hydraulic piping

  • Air ducting and gas pipelines

  • Oil and chemical industries

๐Ÿงฑ Construction Uses:

  • Scaffolding and shuttering

  • Water supply lines

  • Structural support beams

  • Fencing and handrails

  • Bridge and road safety barriers


๐Ÿ“ Types of MS Pipes Available

3"3.0 mm₹48 – ₹54₹220 – ₹250
4"3.2 mm₹46 – ₹52₹280 – ₹310

Note: Prices may vary based on location, coating, and grade.


๐Ÿ“ฆ Benefits of Using MS Pipes in Udyog (Industry)

  • ✅ Cost-effective compared to stainless steel

  • ✅ Easy to fabricate and install

  • ✅ Good load-bearing capacity

  • ✅ Widely available in India

  • ✅ Recyclable and sustainable for green construction


๐ŸŒ MS Pipe Sizes & Standards

MS pipes are manufactured in various standards like:

  • IS 1239 (Part 1) – for water, gas, and air lines

  • IS 3589 – for large diameter pipes

  • ASTM A53 / A106 – for seamless MS pipes


๐Ÿงพ Buying Tips for MS Pipes

  1. Check for BIS/ISI certification

  2. Select appropriate wall thickness

  3. Prefer coated pipes for outdoor use

  4. Buy from verified MS pipe distributors

  5. Compare price per meter vs per kg


Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1. What is the lifespan of MS pipe?

A: MS pipes can last 20–50 years depending on use, coating, and exposure to corrosion.

Q2. Can MS pipes be used for water supply?

A: Yes, coated or galvanized MS pipes are used in water supply and plumbing systems.

Q3. What is the difference between ERW and seamless MS pipes?

A: ERW pipes have a welded seam, while seamless pipes are stronger and made without welding, ideal for high-pressure applications.

Q4. Are MS pipes rust-proof?

A: No, but galvanization or painting can make them corrosion-resistant.

Q5. Where to buy MS pipes in bulk?

A: Leading suppliers across India in Faridabad, Delhi, Punjab, and Gujarat offer bulk supply with competitive rates.
