SANS 62 (ERW) Pipes

SANS 62 carbon steel pipes are specifically engineered for the reliable conveyance of water and aqueous fluids in industrial, municipal, and fire protection systems. These pipes are the South African industry standard for low-to-medium pressure infrastructure and residential water reticulation.

  • Standard Compliance: Fully certified to SANS 62-1:2013 Edition 4 (Pipes suitable for threading).
  • Material Grade: Manufactured from high-quality low-carbon steel with a minimum yield strength of 200 MPa.
  • Wall Thickness Classes: Available in Medium and Heavy specifications to suit various installation and pressure requirements.
  • Manufacturing Process: Electric Resistance Welded (ERW) for consistent wall thickness and superior seam integrity.
  • End Preparation: Stocked in Plain Ended (PE)
  • Grooved / Shoulder Ends: Available on request for rapid mechanical coupling installations.
  • Corrosion Protection: Available mill finished “Black”

Global Equivalents: Functionally similar to ASTM A53 (Grade A), DIN 2440/2441, and BS 1387 for project-wide compatibility.

While these standards are functionally similar, please verify specific project compliance with your site engineer
