GI Pipes manufacturers produces galvanized iron pipes in various sizes to suit a number of industrial and construction requirements. The GI Pipes Weight Chart in KG, MM, PDF is a significant reference material to an engineer, contractor, and buyer. In addition to regular GI pipes, manufacturers produce other structural work related products such as MS (Mild Steel) Pipes and ERW (Electric Resistance Welded) Pipes which are specifically developed to work in temporary construction structures. The weight information of these pipes is also important to plan the transportation, determine the structures and estimate the costs properly.
The GI Pipes weight chart gives detailed information about pipe size, wall thickness, and weight per meter for different types. GI pipes are grouped based on their bore size (measured in mm or inches), outer diameter, thickness, and weight. The galvanization process adds a protective zinc coating, which slightly increases the total weight but greatly improves life span and rust resistance, making them perfect for water supply, plumbing, and industrial uses.
Weight Chart Tables
Chart 1: GI Pipes Weight Chart (Light to Medium Duty)
Nominal Bore (mm) | Outer Diameter (mm) | Thickness (mm) | Weight per Meter (kg) | Weight per Foot (kg) |
15 | 21.3 | 2.0 | 0.85 | 0.26 |
20 | 26.9 | 2.0 | 1.10 | 0.34 |
25 | 33.7 | 2.3 | 1.70 | 0.52 |
32 | 42.4 | 2.3 | 2.15 | 0.66 |
40 | 48.3 | 2.6 | 2.80 | 0.85 |
50 | 60.3 | 2.9 | 4.10 | 1.25 |
Home plumbing, farm irrigation and general water supply systems commonly utilize light and medium-duty GI pipes. The weight information is used in the calculation of load needs and transportation expenses of construction projects.
Chart 2: GI Pipes Grades and Standards
Grade/Standard | Application | Coating Type | Zinc Coating (g/m²) | Tensile Strength (MPa) |
IS 1239 Part 1 | Medium Duty | Hot-Dip Galvanized | 240-350 | 330-430 |
IS 1239 Part 2 | Heavy Duty | Hot-Dip Galvanized | 350-450 | 410-510 |
ASTM A53 | General Purpose | Galvanized | 200-300 | 330-455 |
BS 1387 | Water/Gas | Hot-Dip Galvanized | 255-400 | 320-460 |
EN 10255 | Threaded/Non-threaded | Galvanized | 200-350 | 330-430 |
Various grades guarantee quality assurance and suitability to a certain application requirement. The most popular standard in India to use in the GI pipes is IS 1239.
Chart 3: GI Pipes Technical Specifications (Heavy Duty)
Nominal Bore (mm) | Outer Diameter (mm) | Thickness (mm) | Weight per Meter (kg) | Length (meters) |
15 | 21.3 | 3.2 | 1.35 | 6.0 |
20 | 26.9 | 3.2 | 1.80 | 6.0 |
25 | 33.7 | 4.0 | 2.90 | 6.0 |
32 | 42.4 | 4.0 | 3.80 | 6.0 |
40 | 48.3 | 4.0 | 4.50 | 6.0 |
50 | 60.3 | 4.5 | 6.40 | 6.0 |
The GI Pipes weight chart provides the details concerning the size of pipes, the thickness of their walls, and their weight per meter of various types. GI pipes are classified according to their bore size (measured in mm or inches), outer diameter, thickness, as well as weight. The galvanization process coats them with protective zinc that slightly increases their total weight, but the life span and rust resistibility is much improved, making them ideal in water supply, plumbing and industrial purposes.
