Industrial Standards & Applications

IS:3589

  • Application: Large diameter Spiral Welded(SW) and ERW pipes used for bulk water transport and industrial infrastructure.
  • Scope: Covers nominal sizes from 150mm to 2500mm.

IS:1239

  • Application: Mild Steel(MS) Black and Galvanized(GI) pipes for ordinary use in water, gas, and steam lines.
  • Classification: Divided into Light, Medium and Heavy classes based on wall thickness.

IS:1161

  • Application: Square, Rectangular, and Round hollow sections for structural engineering and architectural frameworks.
  • Focus: High yield strength(YST grades) for load-bearing stability.

Important Note on Weight Tolerance: As per IS:3589 and IS:1239, a weight tolerance of ±7.5% to ±10% is applicable depending on the class and thickness. While the calculator provides theoretical weight, final commercial billing is always based on the actual value on the weight bridge at the time of dispatch.
