Inox Steel India is a leading manufacturer and global exporter of IS 3589 and IS 1239 ERW MS Pipes, supplying industries across water transmission, structural fabrication, engineering, construction, agriculture, automotive, and general fluid handling. Our ERW Mild Steel pipes are produced using high-frequency electric resistance welding technology to ensure strong weld seams, corrosion protection, dimensional accuracy, and pressure reliability.
We supply IS 3589 heavy-duty pipes for water supply systems, structural projects, process industries, and heavy engineering, while IS 1239 pipes cater to low-to-medium pressure applications, air lines, fire-fighting systems, light fabrication, and general engineering use.
Our products are widely exported to UAE, Saudi Arabia, Africa, Europe, South America, and Southeast Asia, supporting government water projects, industrial expansions, and infrastructure development.

To match your seamless pipe sample style, here’s a clear, step-by-step flow:
Raw Material Selection
High-quality mild steel strips or plates are tested for chemistry, hardness, and surface quality.
Slitting & Edge Preparation
Coils are slit into required width and edges are prepared for effective HF/ERW welding.
Forming
The strip is passed through forming rolls to create a circular shape.
ERW / HFW Welding
Electric currents heat the edges → pressure applied → strong forge weld created.
Weld Bead Removal (Internal/External)
Beads are trimmed for a smooth finish for fluid flow and structural uniformity.
Sizing & Shaping
Pipes are calibrated for:
Hydrostatic & NDT Testing
All pipes undergo:
Surface Protection
Pipes are delivered in:
Final Inspection & Marking
Each pipe is marked with:
Grade • Class • Heat No. • Size • Standard (IS 3589 / IS 1239)
✔ Water & Sewage Projects
✔ Fire Fighting & Air Lines
✔ Structural & Construction
✔ Industrial & Utility Piping
