WATER PIPES

COLD FORMED SECTIONS

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.
The cut pipes are end faced, straightened and hydro tested. Each pipe is subjected to a specified pressure at the
hydrotester to ensure that welding is strong and free from leakage.
After this stage, if required, the pipes are galvanised threaded and socketed. The manufacturing process uses Hot
Rolled (HR) mild steel with a composition of carbon 0.20% maximum : phosphorous 0.05% maximum : manganese 1.20%
maximum; sulphur 0.05% maximum and silicon traces.
All the water pipes are threaded to (BSPT specifictaion and are fitted with a socket on one end).

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.

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.

STAINLESS STEEL

GRADE 304

CONTINUED

G304 is the most versatile and the most widely used of all stainless steels. Its chemical
composition, mechanical properties, weld ability and corrosion/oxidation resistance provide the
best all- round performance stainless steel at relatively low cost. It also has excellent low temperature
properties and responds well to hardening by cold working.

TYPICAL USES

Hafts, Bolts, Nuts, Studs, Couplings, and machinery components where a low tensile strength material is required.

N.B.
Actual mass will vary from theoretical mass
due to manufacturing tolerances.
6% allowance should always be made for
record of surface defects during machining.

Steel for structural sections is normally produced to SANS 1431 grade 350WA and BS EN 10025 grade 275JR.
For improved atmospheric corrosion resistance, COR-TEN A should be used.

For applications where mechanical properties of the steel are not important, angles (equal leg) in the size range 25 x 25 x 3 mm to 80 x 80 x 12 mm can be
ordered in the mild steel grade (commercial quality).

When choosing a rust prevention method for a steel component or structure, many technical factors including the environment, stress during transport,
storage, fitting or erection must be considered. Adequate preparation of the substrate is of vital importance to the ultimate success of the coating, as is
the method of application. Paint, hot-dip galvanizing or duplex coatings (zinc plus paint) can be specified for corrosion protection, depending on the
aggressiveness of the environment. Choice of the protective mechanism is considered to be the responsibility of the specifier, fabricator or end user.

WINDOW SECTIONS
CHEMICAL COMPOSITION
The window profiles are hot rolled from mild steel with a maximum carbon content of 0,30%
making it suitable for welding using any of the standard welding processes, usually without special
precautions. No test or analysis certificates are supplied.

DEFINITIONS
Tensile test

Test pieces are used for establishing mechanical properties. When the test is done. Four values (1, 2, 3 and 4) are obtained.

TENSILE STRENGTH
The stress required to rupture in tension (pull) , expressed in Megapascals (MPa). Also called Breaking Strength, Ultimate Strength and Ultimate
Tensile Strength.

YIELD STRENGTH
The stress at which a material exhibits a specified llimiting set, commonly taken by the offset method as 0.20 per cent of the specimen`s original
length, expressed in Megapascals.

ELONGATION
The amount of permanent stretch, after fracture in tension, expressed as a percentage of the specimen`s original length.

REDUCTION OF AREA
The difference between the original cross sectional area of a specimen and the least cross sectional area after rupture in tensile tests, expressed I
percentage of the original cross-sectional area.

IMPACT STRENGTH
A measure of toughness. The force to fracture a notched specimen with a single blow. Expressed in Joules (J) or foot-pounds of the energy absorbed.
Designated as Charpyor IzodImpact Strength, depending on the testing machine used.

HEAT TREATMENT
An operation or combination of operations involving the heating and cooling of a metal to obtain certain desirable conditions or properties, and
not for the sole purpose of mechanical working.

ANNEALING
Heating and cooling primarily:
To induce softness
To relieve internal stresses
To obtain the optimum combination of strength and ductility.

DUCTILITY
The property which permits deformation under tension without rupture. Values of nlongation and Reduction of Area are generally taken as a
measure of Ductility.

HARDNESSS
Resistance to plastic deformation by indentation, penetration, scratchimg or bending. Expressed by means of Brinell, Rockwell, Scleroscope or
Vickers Hardness numbers, depending upon the testing machine used and should be read in conjuction with specified mechanical required.

STRESS RELIEVING
Heating and cooling to effect the release of stresses contained in material induced by heating, welding or machining.

TEMPERING
Bringing about an intermediate condition in steel between being ductile and very hard, to provide a desired combination of hardness and ductility,
to achieve prescribed mechanical properties.

QUENCHING
This is the process carried out after material has been heated to the required temperature. The material is then immersed in specific cooling agents
to attain hardness which is dependant on the cooling speed which is possible for the hardening temperature concerned.

CASE HARDENING
In applications where it is necessary for components to have great toughness but, at the same time must have a high resistance to wear, the required hardness can be achieved by case hardening the outer surface by means of one of the following methods:

Carburizing
Carbonitriding
Nitriding
Nitrocarburising
Tuftriding
Flame Hardening
Induction Hardening
