Home > Welded Pipes > Water Transmission Applications
Water transmission pipelines are designed to transport raw water, potable water, treated water, cooling water, irrigation water, and municipal distribution supply across long distances. These pipelines operate under moderate to high pressure, varying flow rates, and continuous service cycles, making reliability and durability crucial.
Welded pipes manufactured to IS 3589 (Grades FE330/FE410) and API 5L (Grades B, X42, X52 for water service) are widely used for water transmission systems. These pipes provide:
Water transmission networks form the backbone of municipal water supply, infrastructure development, irrigation, and industrial water utilities.
Water transmission pipelines are used in:
These pipelines must withstand:
✔ Varying flow pressures
✔ Internal corrosion (depending on water chemistry)
✔ External soil corrosion
✔ Buried pipeline load & vibration
✔ Surge/pressure hammer
✔ Long continuous operation cycles
IS 3589 / API 5L welded pipes are engineered to meet all these requirements.
Welded pipes are preferred because they offer:
Their durability ensures a stable water supply for cities, industries & irrigation networks.
Water transmission welded pipes are widely used in:
Demand continues to grow with rapid urbanization and development projects.
| Raw Water Intake Lines | River water, lake water | Heavy-duty durability for bulk transport |
| Treated Water Pipelines | Filtered water | Smooth flow & corrosion protection |
| Municipal Distribution Lines | Potable water | Long service life underground |
| Cooling Water Systems | Industrial cooling water | Continuous circulation reliability |
| Irrigation Pipelines | Agricultural water | Large diameter & economical installation |
| Desalination Plant Pipelines | RO treated & seawater | Corrosion-controlled performance |
| Industrial Water Supply | Utility water | Sturdy welded construction |
| Fire Water Mains | Pressurized water | Pressure handling & emergency reliability |
Raw Water Intake & River Transmission Lines
Used to move large volumes of water from natural sources to treatment plants.
IS 3589 welded pipes provide strength and long-distance feasibility.
Treated Water Supply Pipelines
After filtration or treatment, water is transported through coated welded pipes to distribution networks.
Smooth bore surfaces improve flow efficiency.
City / Municipal Water Distribution Networks
Used for potable water grids, elevated tank connections, and underground supply systems.
These pipes withstand pressure cycles and corrosion.
Industrial Cooling Water Lines
Used in:
High flow and heavy circulation demand strong structural welded pipes.
Irrigation & Agricultural Pipelines
Large diameter welded pipes deliver water to farmlands under gravity and pump-based systems.
Desalination Plant Water Lines
Used for:
API 5L/IS 3589 pipes with anti-corrosion coatings provide long-term service.
Fire Water Networks
Used in industrial and commercial facilities.
Need:
General Industrial Water Piping
Used for boilers, cooling towers, process water, and general service utilities.
| Industry | Application |
