INTRODUCTION

Steel tubes are like long, strong pipes made of very tough metal called steel. They come in different sizes and are used for many things like building, plumbing, and making stuff in factories. They're great because they're really strong and don't easily get damaged.

To ensure the product quality of steel tubes, the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has made it mandatory for manufacturers to undergo BIS registration and obtain the BIS ISI mark before selling it in the market.
