We manufacture and electropolish SS 316L and 304L pipes and tubes at Mumbai and supply Pune's pharma, biotech, food and process plants directly. Every order ships with MTC EN 10204 3.1, 100% PMI testing and a measured Ra report.
Pune's process industry is spread across several MIDC zones, and each asks something different of a pipe.

| Kurkumbh MIDC | Chemical | Process fluid transfer | 316L; check media compatibility |
316L, smooth internal surface, passivated for vaccine and injectable formulations.
Smooth bore cleans faster, drains completely, and eliminates cross-contamination.
SS 304L surface, ultra-smooth and easy to sanitise for FMCG facilities.
Electropolished tubing guaranteed to Ra ≤0.4 µm down to ASME BPE SF4 requirements.

Instant dimension calculation and Ra unit conversions for engineering procurement
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.
