A Partnership firm based in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India, we make to the specification you send us — section, size, quantity and coating thickness. Hot dip galvanizing job work on customer-supplied steel is part of what we do. ## Products and services | Product | What it is | |---|---| | GI Earthing Strip | Hot dip galvanized mild steel flat used to bond equipment and carry fault current to the earth electrode. Made to the width, thickness and coating you specify. | | GI Earthing Plate | Galvanized mild steel earthing plate for plate-electrode earthing installations. | | GI Earthing Electrode | Galvanized pipe earthing electrode with bolted terminal lug, for pipe-electrode earthing. | | Earthing Pipe | Galvanized steel earthing pipe for earth electrode assemblies. | | Hot Dip Galvanized Angle | Mild steel angle, hot dip galvanized for outdoor and buried service. | | Hot Dip Galvanized Channel | Mild steel channel, hot dip galvanized to the specified coating thickness. | | Hot Dip Galvanized Flat and Square Bar | Galvanized mild steel flat and square bar in customer-specified sections. | | Hot Dip Galvanizing Job Work | Hot dip galvanizing of customer-supplied steel fabrications and sections, galvanized to the coating thickness you specify. | Common earthing flats run from about 25 × 3 mm up to 75 × 10 mm, cut to your length. Send the section and quantity and we confirm what we can make against it. Standards we work to on request: **IS 3043** (code of practice for earthing), **IS 2629** (recommended practice for hot dip galvanizing of iron and steel), **IS 4759** (zinc coatings on structural steel). HSN code 7905 — zinc plates, sheets, strip and foil. ## Ratings and reviews 4.4 out of 5 across seven buyer ratings, with response, quality and delivery each marked at 100%. The figure comes from the company's own directory listing and is quoted as visible text rather than as `aggregateRating` markup, because a rating a business publishes about itself is ineligible for search rich results. - Grishm Patel, Ahmedabad, Gujarat — Galvanized Iron Earthing Strip - Jeevan Panchal, Kalol, Gujarat — Hot Dip Galvanizing Pipe ## Common questions ### What is the difference between an earthing strip and an earthing electrode? The electrode is the part that actually dissipates fault current into the soil — a galvanized pipe or plate buried in the ground. The strip is the galvanized flat that connects to it, bonding equipment and structures back to that electrode and carrying fault current to it. A complete installation needs both, and both are normally hot dip galvanized because they sit in soil and weather for decades. ### Is hot dip galvanizing the same as painting or zinc spraying? No. Paint leaves a film sitting on top of the steel. Hot dip galvanizing is a metallurgical reaction: the steel is immersed in molten zinc at roughly 450 °C, and iron and zinc interdiffuse to form three iron–zinc alloy layers beneath an outer layer of pure zinc. Those alloy layers are part of the section rather than a coating on it, so there is no boundary for the coating to lift or peel from. Published hardness figures put the delta and gamma alloy layers near 244 and 250 DPN — harder than the mild steel they protect, at about 159 DPN — which is why a galvanized surface survives handling and site work that would strip paint. ### What zinc coating thickness should I specify? Tell us the service condition and we galvanize to the figure you specify. Coating is quoted either in microns or in grams per square metre of surface. Buried and permanently damp ground, coastal air and industrial atmospheres all justify a heavier coating than a dry indoor location. IS 2629 covers the recommended practice for hot dip galvanizing of iron and steel, IS 4759 covers zinc coatings on structural steel, and IS 3043 is the code of practice for earthing. If your drawing or tender already names a coating, send it and we work to that. ### Should I use galvanized steel or copper for earthing? Copper conducts better and resists corrosion better, and it remains the usual choice for high fault levels and critical installations. Galvanized steel costs a fraction of it and is widely used for general industrial, building and solar earthing where the soil suits it. IS 3043 recognises both. If you are unsure, send us the fault current, the soil resistivity and the standard you are working to, and we will tell you what we can supply against it. ### What sizes of earthing strip and galvanized section do you make? Earthing strip and flat are made to the width and thickness you need; common earthing flats run from about 25 × 3 mm up to 75 × 10 mm, cut to your length. We also supply hot dip galvanized angle, channel, flat and square bar, along with galvanized pipe and plate earthing electrodes. Send us the section and the quantity and we will confirm what we can make against it. ### Do you galvanize steel that we supply ourselves? Yes — hot dip galvanizing job work is part of what we do. Send the sections or fabrications, the quantity and the coating thickness you want, and we will quote the job work rate. One design note: hollow and closed sections need adequate vent and drain holes so molten zinc can flow through and air can escape, otherwise the part cannot be galvanized safely. ### Where do you supply from, and do you deliver outside Gujarat? We work from Shed No. 17, Gajanan Industrial Hub-2, Vinzol Patiya, GIDC Estate, Vatva, Ahmedabad 382445, and supply across Gujarat and the rest of India. Ahmedabad and the surrounding GIDC estates are usually served quickest. ### How do I get a price and a lead time?
