Our premium Galvanized Iron Earthing Pipes are specifically designed for electrical grounding and lightning protection applications. Manufactured using high-grade steel with advanced hot-dip galvanizing technology, these pipes offer exceptional corrosion resistance, electrical conductivity, and durability, ensuring reliable protection for electrical systems and structures against lightning strikes and electrical faults.

Manufacturing Process:

Our GI Earthing Pipes are manufactured using premium-grade mild steel with precise engineering. The pipes undergo a rigorous hot-dip galvanization process where they are immersed in molten zinc at temperatures exceeding 450°C. This creates a metallurgically bonded zinc coating that provides superior corrosion resistance and excellent electrical conductivity. Each pipe is then precision-drilled with holes for connection points and undergoes strict quality testing to ensure compliance with international standards for electrical grounding applications.

Key Features:

  • Superior Electrical Conductivity: Ensures efficient dissipation of electrical charges and fault currents
  • Enhanced Corrosion Resistance: Hot-dip galvanized coating provides excellent protection against soil corrosion
  • Longer Service Life: Designed to maintain performance for decades even in harsh soil conditions
  • Standards Compliant: Manufactured as per IS:3043, IEEE 80, and IEC 62305 standards
  • Pre-drilled Connection Points: Facilitates easy installation and secure connections
  • Low Earth Resistance: Optimized design for minimal electrical resistance to ground

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between regular GI pipes and GI Earthing Pipes?

+

GI Earthing Pipes are specifically designed for electrical grounding applications with thicker zinc coating, pre-drilled connection points, and optimized electrical conductivity. Regular GI pipes are primarily designed for fluid transportation and may not meet the electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance requirements for earthing applications.

What is the expected lifespan of your GI Earthing Pipes?

+

With proper installation and soil conditions, our GI Earthing Pipes can last 15-25 years. In less corrosive soils and with the use of earth enhancement compounds, the lifespan can extend to 30+ years. Regular testing and maintenance can further extend the service life.

Do you provide complete earthing system solutions?

+

Yes, we offer complete earthing system solutions including GI Earthing Pipes, copper-bonded electrodes, GI strips, copper strips, earth enhancement compounds, and all necessary accessories for a complete installation. We can also provide design consultation for complex earthing requirements.

What is the recommended earth resistance value for an effective earthing system?

+

For most electrical installations, the recommended earth resistance value is less than 5 ohms. For sensitive electronic equipment and telecommunications, values less than 2 ohms are recommended. Our earthing systems are designed to achieve these values when properly installed with appropriate accessories.

How do I maintain my earthing system?

+

Regular maintenance includes periodic testing of earth resistance (at least annually), visual inspection of connections for corrosion or damage, ensuring the soil around the earthing pipe remains moist, and adding earth enhancement compounds if resistance values increase. We can provide a comprehensive maintenance schedule based on your specific installation.
