Pipes:
Pipes
are manufactured as per British Standard
Specification # BS -1387/1998l.
They come in four types of wall thickness
and have the following brand names:
Silver, Gold, Diamond and Ruby.
The
nominal bore ranges from 0.5 to 4
inches and the wall thickness ranges
from 1.60 mm to 4.50 mm. The BSCL
also manufactures steel tubes that
are suitable for screwing-on to BS
21 pipe threads. They come in three
categories: light, heavy and medium,
varying by nominal size thread designation,
wall thickness and outside diameter.
Seamless and welded steel tubes are
manufactured at the BSCL.
The
pipes are put through a battery of
tests. These include: (1) physical
inspection of outside diameter, wall
thickness, length and thread pitch;
(2) bending test; (3) flattening test;
(4) tensile strength test; (5) galvanisation
test; and a (6) hydrostatic pressure
test.
