What are gi pipes、gp pipes、ms pipe? Full form and purpose

(2025年06月05日)

gi pipe full form Galvanized Iron Pipe, Coated with a layer of zinc to prevent rust and corrosion, enhancing durability in harsh environments (e.g., moisture, chemicals)
gi pipe Used extensively in: Plumbing:​​ Water supply and sewage systems due to long lifespan (up to 70+ years);Construction:​​ Scaffolding, railings, fencing, and structural supports ; Industrial applications:​​ Gas/oil transmission, agriculture, automotive, and aerospace due to corrosion resistance
Key features: Heat-resistant, leak-proof, and easy to install

ms pipe full form Mild Steel Pipe, Made from low-carbon steel (carbon content ≤0.25%), making it malleable and weldable but prone to rust without coating
Applications include: Structural uses:​​ Building frameworks, bridges, and machinery where strength is needed ; Fluid transport:​​ Water pipes, fire protection systems, and HVAC (heating, ventilation, air conditioning); ​Cost-effective solution:​​ Cheaper than GI/GP pipes but requires protective coatings (e.g., painting) for outdoor use

gp pipe full form Galvanized Pipe, Often confused with GI pipes, but ​GP pipes are made from thin carbon steel sheets electroplated with zinc​ before being rolled into pipes, resulting in a smoother finish
Used similarly to GI pipes for: Corrosion-prone environments:​​ Water lines (historically in pre-1960 homes), gas pipelines, and industrial plumbing; Advantages over GI:​​ Superior surface finish and uniform zinc coating

Key Insights:

​GI vs. GP:​​ Both are zinc-coated, but GP uses electroplating for a finer finish, while GI is hot-dipped or coated via other methods
​Corrosion resistance:​​ GI and GP pipes are ideal for wet/outdoor use, while MS pipes require additional protection
Cost:​​ MS pipes are the most economical, whereas GI/GP pipes offer longevity in corrosive settings
