Introduction to ISMC Weight Chart ISMC (Indian Standard Medium Channel) Weight chart is a table that lists the weight of various ISMC channels in kilograms per meter. The chart is based on the dimensions of the channels, such as width, height, and thickness. The ISMC Weight Chart is an important…

What is Schedule 40 Steel Pipe? Steel pipe with a schedule of 40 is the most common type of pipe schedule. It is commonly used in water and gas lines, and although galvanization is optional, it is possible to do so. When there is a requirement for ornamentation or support,…

Electric Resistance Welding (ERW) pipe is made by rolling metal and then welding it longitudinally throughout its length. ERW pipe has a welded junction in its cross-section throughout its length, whereas seamless pipe is created by extruding metal to the required length. The seamless pipe, which is produced from solid…

Hastelloy and Monel are two different alloys. Monel is a malleable, corrosion-resistant metal that is stronger than steel. This alloy group possesses good resistance to extremely corrosive acids, such as hydrofluoric and sulfuric acid, in addition to superior resistance. Monel is particularly well suited to maritime engineering applications due to…

What is Inconel, exactly? Inconel is an oxidation-corrosion-resistant alloy that works well in high-temperature and high-pressure environments. When Inconel alloy is heated, a thick, stable oxide layer forms on the surface, protecting it from further attack. The strength of Inconel extends over a wide temperature range. It produces high-temperature strength…

What is stainless steel, and how does it work? Stainless steel is an iron alloy with a minimum chromium content of 10.5 per cent. The chromium on the steel surface generates the ‘passive layer,’ a thin oxide coating. This prevents the surface from corroding more. The corrosion resistance improves as…
