Choosing Between MS and Stainless Steel Pipes: What Engineers Recommend
Selecting the right pipe material is one of the most common engineering challenges in industrial projects across Howrah, Dankuni and Kolkata’s growing manufacturing zones. Whether it’s for structural work, fabrication, oil lines or water supply, the confusion between MS pipes vs stainless steel pipes often leads to higher costs or premature failures. This guide explains what engineers actually recommend, based on durability, corrosion resistance, load strength and long-term maintenance realities in Bengal’s climate. Understanding the Core Differences: MS Pipes vs Stainless Steel Pipes Most engineers start the selection process by analysing load requirement, environmental exposure and corrosion risks. MS (Mild Steel) pipes are cost-effective, easy to weld and ideal for structural applications. SS304 and SS316 stainless steel pipes deliver exceptional rust resistance and are perfect for food, chemical and high-moisture environments. In industrial clusters like Uluberia, Belur...
