Brand & Manufacturer
Jindal Star is one of India’s leading manufacturers of ERW (Electric Resistance Welded) Mild Steel (MS) Black Pipes, trusted across plumbing, structural, industrial, and fire-fighting applications.
Material & Manufacturing
-
Material: Mild Steel (Carbon Steel)
-
Manufacturing Process: ERW (Electric Resistance Welding) — ensures uniform welds and consistent quality.
-
Surface Finish: Black (Bare/ Self-colour) — uncoated surface with typical mill oil or varnish finish to protect against handling corrosion.
Applicable Standards
-
IS: 1239 (Part-1) 2004 — for MS Black Pipes and Tubes.
-
IS: 3589 — for larger diameter and water/sewage transportation pipes.
-
Also manufactured and compliant to BS, API, ASTM, DIN standards on request.
Size & Dimensions
-
General Nominal Bore Range:
15 mm (½″) to 500 mm (20″) — widely available. -
Wall Thickness:
Varies by Class/type — from ~2.0 mm up to ~12.7 mm depending on nominal size and class. -
Typical Length:
Random lengths — usually 4 to 7 m / 6 m / up to 12 m depending on customer order.
Classes / Types
Jindal Star MS Black Pipes are generally supplied in three strength classes (based on application and wall thickness):
-
Class A – Light
-
Class B – Medium
-
Class C – Heavy
These classes define increasing wall thickness and load-bearing capability.
End Preparations
-
Plain Ends (PE) – standard
-
Beveled Ends (BE) – for welding applications
-
Threaded Ends – (on demand for smaller sizes)
-
Socket Ends – with protective caps (option)
Mechanical & Quality
-
Manufactured from low carbon mild steel that is easy to weld, bend, and fabricate.
-
Pipes undergo hydrostatic testing and dimensional inspections to ensure quality and performance.
Typical Applications
Where MS Black Pipes are commonly used:
✔ Water supply and distribution
✔ Plumbing and irrigation systems
✔ Fire-fighting mains
✔ Structural and fabrication work
✔ Scaffolding and supports
✔ Industrial process lines (non-corrosive media)
✔ Water and sewage transmission lines
Key Features
🔹 Strong mechanical strength with uniform wall thickness
🔹 Wide availability in sizes & classes
🔹 Easy to cut, weld, and install
🔹 Cost-effective solution for general piping & structural use
🔹 Compatible with standard fittings and flanges
Notes on Corrosion
-
MS Black pipes are not zinc-coated — surface must be painted, varnished, or otherwise protected in corrosive environments to extend life.
-
For outdoor/underground or wet conditions, MS GI (galvanized) pipes are preferred.
Summary
Jindal Star MS Black Pipes are ERW mild steel pipes manufactured to BIS and international standards with a broad size range and multiple strength classes. They are ideal for plumbing, structural, industrial and utility pipelines where corrosion is controlled through coatings or environmental protection.
