Durgapur is West Bengal's steel and heavy-engineering city, built around a large steel plant, power stations and engineering works. We manufacture and electropolish SS 304L and 316L pipes and tubes and supply the clean-utility, DM-water, sampling and laboratory lines of these plants, and the contractors who maintain them, with MTC EN 10204 3.1, 100% PMI testing and a measured Ra report on every order.

Oils, cutting fluids and drawing residues are completely removed first. The finish is only as good as the chemical preparation.
Where weld heat tint or surface oxide is present, it is etched and activated so the pipe surface electropolishes uniformly.
The pipe acts as anode in an electrolytic acid bath. High microscopic peaks dissolve first, levelling the surface and stripping free iron.
The chromium-rich passive layer is stabilised per ASTM A967 / ASTM B912 to prevent future pitting and galvanic attack.
High-purity deionised water rinse removes all electrolytic residues, followed by hot air drying, capping and clean poly-sleeving.

We dispatch from Mumbai, and delivery time depends on size, quantity and stock; it is confirmed in writing with each quotation. We cap the pipe ends, sleeve each length and pack for the journey so the electropolished finish arrives undamaged. If your shutdown has a fixed window, tell us when you enquire and we'll say plainly whether it fits.
Every pipe we supply to Durgapur adheres to strict international hygienic standards. Explore our core product specifications, Ra roughness certifications, and alloy grade properties:
