Mild Steel (MS) pipes and tubes are essential components in construction, plumbing, and manufacturing industries due to their durability, versatility, and cost-effectiveness. These steel sections are widely used in structural applications, fencing, scaffolding, and even in furniture making. MS pipes offer high tensile strength and corrosion resistance, making them suitable for long-term use in both indoor and outdoor environments. They are available in a variety of shapes and sizes to meet diverse project requirements.
