 WATER PIPES
Accurately sized strips, cut from high quality hot rolled mild steel coils, are fed into the
tube mill. The flat strip is gradually formed to a round profile with an open seam along its
length.
A high frequency induction welding technique is used to form a strong continuous seam joint. The
formed pipe passes through and external bead scarfing and sizing process to bring its dimensions
within specified tolerances. The pipes are then cut to desired length.
COLD FORMED SECTIONS
Cold-formed steel sections commonly known as hollow sections conform to Kenya
Bureau of Standards KS 02-104. Hollow sections are manufactured on tube mills using high
frequency induction welding technique. The strip is continuously seam welded while round
in shape and then gradually brought to the desired section in the sizing mill. The welded seam is
put to a great amount of cold working while being sized. This is a very severe test of the strength of
a seam weld and ensures that each length of hollow section is welded for maximum strength.

The cut pipes are end faced, straightened and hydro tested. Each pipe is subjected to a specified pressure at the RECTANGULAR HOLLOW SECTIONS
hydrotester to ensure that welding is strong and free from leakage.
TOLERANCES IN DIMENSIONS
After this stage, if required, the pipes are galvanised threaded and socketed. The manufacturing process uses Hot CHARACTERISTIC TOLERANCE
Rolled (HR) mild steel with a composition of carbon 0.20% maximum : phosphorous 0.05% maximum : manganese 1.20% Outside Dimensions +- 1.5mm or 2% whichever is less
maximum; sulphur 0.05% maximum and silicon traces.
Deviation from straightness 0.17% of total length
All the water pipes are threaded to (BSPT specifictaion and are fitted with a socket on one end). Squareness of corners 90o +- 2o

STEEL DOOR FRAME SECTIONS

Steel Door Frame sections are cold formed using hot rolled steel strips, During roiling, care is taken to ensure
dimensional uniformity, extremely smooth surface finish and accurately finished edges. The section, being of
structural strength has pf late come to be a better alternative to timber door frames.

Timber Door Frame section have been having problems like deterioration due to weather, warping and difficult of
installation, White Ants etc.

Steel Door Frame section can be used In any modern building, from apartments to educational Institutions, low cost housing
to high rise office complexes.
