IS 3589 Pipes Price

IS 3589 pipe prices depend on grade (Fe 330 or Fe 410), OD, wall thickness, length, surface finish, and order quantity. Black finish pipes are priced lower than galvanised variants. Larger OD and heavier wall thickness increase the per-metre cost proportionally.

IS 3589 Pipe Grades

Please refer to the points that has been supplied below for a comprehensive description of the standard grades and the precise properties that constitute each of them.

IS 3589 Grade Fe 330

IS 3589 Grade Fe 330 is the weaker alternative. Typically used for low-pressure water distribution pipes, it has 330 MPa minimum tensile strength. Fe 330 pipes are good for gravity-fed systems and general conveyance without high mechanical loading. ERW and galvanised IS 3589 grade 330 pipes are available.

IS 3589 Grade Fe 410

The most frequent IS 3589 municipal and structural grade is Fe 410. Its minimum tensile strength of 410 MPa and higher yield strength make it suitable for pressurised water mains, sewage force mains, and piling applications. Base steel may be produced from structural grades such as IS 2062, depending on manufacturer's practice. Each grade has its own chemical composition and mechanical property data page.

IS 3589 Pipes Industrial Applications

Please refer to the following list of industrial applications for a more in-depth examination of the ways in which these pipes are utilised across a variety of industries.

Water Supply and Distribution Pipelines

Used in municipal transmission mains and urban distribution networks. Large OD sizes handle high-volume water flow with consistent pressure across semi-urban projects.

Sewage and Drainage Systems

Fe 410 grade gives sewage force mains and gravity sewers the strength they need to hold up. It can handle caustic waste without any problems, and it can also handle the pressure needed for industrial use.

Irrigation and Agricultural Projects

Essential for canal lining, lift irrigation, and cross-country water transfer. HSAW pipes provide a durable, cost-effective solution for massive agricultural water conveyance.

Structural and Construction Applications

Used as structural columns, pipe piles, and foundation supports. The high yield strength of Fe 410 handles heavy vertical loads in major infrastructure projects.

Frequently Asked Questions

What grades are available in IS 3589 Pipes?+
IS 3589 pipes are available in either Grade Fe 330 or Fe 410. Fe 330 has a minimum tensile strength of 330 MPa. Fe 410 offers a minimum tensile strength of 410 MPa, making it a more robust material. Iron 410 is the most common grade required for structural and water supply purposes.
What is the difference between IS 1239 and IS 3589 Pipes?+
IS 1239 regulates smaller pipes (15 mm to 150 mm NB) for general plumbing and low-pressure tasks. IS 3589 manages larger diameters (168.3 mm to 2,540 mm OD) suited for water transmission, sewage, and structural applications.
Who is the leading IS 3589 pipe manufacturer in India?+
Sachiya Steel International is a leading IS 3589 pipe manufacturer and supplier in India. We offer Fe 330 and Fe 410 grade pipes in ERW, SAW, and galvanised variants with mill test certificates and third-party inspection.
What is the OD range of IS 3589 pipes?+
Access IS 3589 pipes with outer diameters from 168.3 mm to 2,540 mm and wall thicknesses from 3.2 mm to 20 mm. These dimensions adjust based on your specific application needs and the required OD.
What is an IS 3589 ERW pipe?+
These cost-effective components, with outside diameters up to 610 mm, are used in sewage and water supply systems. We manufacture IS 3589 ERW pipes by longitudinally welding steel coils using high-frequency electric current.
What is the IS 3589 pipe thickness chart?+
The IS 3589 pipe thickness chart lists standard wall thickness values for each OD as specified in IS 3589:2001. Thickness ranges from 3.2 mm for smaller ODs to 20 mm for large-diameter pipes. Contact us for the complete downloadable chart.
What is the price of IS 3589 pipes?+
IS 3589 pipe prices vary based on grade (Fe 330 / Fe 410), OD, wall thickness, length, quantity, and surface finish (black or galvanised). Contact us for the current IS 3589 Pipes price list with ex-factory and FOB rates.
