About GI FLATS
Galvanized earthing strip is connected to the actual earthing bar. In some places Gl Earthing Strips are used instead of insulated cables due to lower cost or deter thefts. GI Flats results in the required minimum earthing resistance to meet your installations requirement.
Available in - 20 x 30 mm to 150 x 6 mm
Superior Galvanized ProtectionEach GI FLAT features a robust zinc coating of 80-120 microns applied by the hot dip galvanizing process, significantly improving resistance to corrosion. This makes them highly suitable for outdoor applications and environments prone to moisture exposure. The smooth, bright finish not only enhances durability, but also offers an appealing aesthetic for visible structures.
Flexible Dimensions and CustomizationGI FLATS are available in a wide range of widths from 12mm to 150mm, thicknesses between 3mm to 25mm, and standard lengths of 6 meters, with customization options available as per requirements. This adaptability ensures they can be tailored for diverse structural, fencing, and fabrication needs, meeting both standard and specially engineered applications.
Reliability for Industrial ApplicationsManufactured under strict guidelines adhering to IS 2062, ASTM A36, and EN standards, GI FLATS provide a minimum elongation of 20% and tensile strength between 370 MPa to 490 MPa. This combination of strength, ductility, and corrosion protection positions them as a dependable choice for construction, industrial structures, and mechanical frames.
FAQ's of GI FLATS:
Q: How are GI FLATS manufactured and what coating method is used?
A: GI FLATS are produced using a hot rolled process for the steel substrate, followed by hot dip galvanizing. This method immerses the flats in molten zinc, forming a 40-120 micron protective zinc coating for enhanced corrosion resistance.
Q: What applications are GI FLATS best suited for?
A: GI FLATS are ideal for use in construction, fabrication, industrial structures, and fencing. Their high strength, corrosion resistance, and ferromagnetic properties make them suitable as structural supports, frames, gratings, and enclosures.
Q: When can I expect delivery after placing an order for GI FLATS?
A: The standard lead time for GI FLATS is between 1 to 2 weeks, depending on the quantity ordered and customized specifications. This ensures timely fulfillment for both standard and bespoke requirements.
Q: Where are GI FLATS most commonly used in India?
A: In India, GI FLATS are widely used across construction sites, industrial fabrication units, and infrastructure projects where reliable durability and corrosion resistance are essential.
Q: What benefits does the hot dip galvanized coating provide?
A: The hot dip galvanized zinc coating offers robust corrosion protection, prolongs the lifespan of the product, and minimizes maintenance needs even in harsh environments. Additionally, it enhances the aesthetic and provides a smooth, bright finish.
Q: How can GI FLATS be packaged and transported safely?
A: GI FLATS are bundled together and securely fastened with steel straps for safe transportation and easy handling, ensuring minimal damage during shipment and storage.
Q: What standards and grades are available for GI FLATS?
