                                            Quality Control
The quality of our product is controlled during the manufacturing process. It starts with slitting the strip edges, continues with speed, temperature control during the high frequency induction welding and is followed by online non destructive eddy current testing directly after welding. Off-line, drift and flattening tests are conducted. This is all within our ISO 9000, ISO 14001 & OHSAS 18001 quality management system.
                                            Advantages of Ratnakar GTX-500 HR Pipes
                                                The  excellent  distribution  of  material  around  the  axis  of  these  steel  pipes  for remarkable  strength  qualities  and  thus  offers  decisive  advantages  as  regards  to application technology. 
                                                Their higher strength to weight ratio could result in upto 30% savings in steel.
                                            
Cost Effective
                                                By virtue of its shape, Hollow sections have high Radius of Gyration and other properties resulting in savings in Material, Transportation and Fabrication cost.
                                            
                                                Less Surface area compared to equivalent conventional sections results in savings in Paint and Labour cost.
                                            
Corrosion Resistant
                                                Less exposed surface area combined with superior quality raw material results very less corrosion in compare to leading brands.
                                            
                                                Smooth uniform profiles of sections minimizes dust and moisture accumulation.

Concentric Strength
                                                By virtue of its shape, Hollow sections have high Radius of Gyration resulting in higherconcentric strength.
                                            
                                                Due  to  closeness of  the  section there  will  be  higher  torsional rigidity  compared  to conventional sections.
                                            
                                                Better lateral stability and lower wind drag. 
                                                Enables weight reduction of upto 30%.
                                            
Convenience of Fabrication
Due to less weight and smoother profile, fabrication is easier.Also minimum use of gusset plates expedites the fabrication process.
Creativity
Due to higher torsional rigidity and better moment resistance on both the axis, bending of hollow section is easier compared to open sections. This gives flexibility to the architects to shape their structures and express their creativity.Smooth profile of Ratnakar GTX-500 HR Pipes enhances the aesthetic appeal of the structures.
Most suitable for usage in exposed environment.
