Types of Scaffolding Pipe Supplied by Sun Corp
Standard Scaffolding Tube — 48.3mm x 3.2mm
The universal scaffolding pipe used across India for tube-and-coupler scaffolding, cuplock systems, and general access scaffolding. Complies with IS 2750 and BS EN 39 dimensional standards. Available in hot-dip galvanised finish for long-term outdoor use.
Heavy Duty Scaffolding Tube — 48.3mm x 4.0mm
Increased wall thickness for shoring, propping, and high-load industrial scaffolding applications. Used as standards and ledgers in heavy-duty access and support scaffolding for infrastructure projects.
Bracing Pipe
Shorter lengths of 48.3mm tube used as diagonal braces and cross-braces in scaffolding bays. Critical for lateral stability under wind loads and eccentric loading on construction sites.
Scaffolding Pipe Applications
- Tube-and-coupler scaffolding for building façades and renovation
- Cuplock standard and ledger sections
- Shoring and propping for slab formwork
- Industrial maintenance access scaffolding
- Temporary support structures on infrastructure projects
- Guard rail posts and handrail systems on construction sites

Frequently Asked Questions — Scaffolding Pipe
What is the standard outer diameter of scaffolding pipe in India?
The standard scaffolding pipe outer diameter in India is 48.3mm, consistent with IS 2750, BS EN 39, and international scaffolding standards. This dimension is compatible with all standard couplers, cuplock components, and ringlock accessories.
What is the difference between 3.2mm and 4.0mm wall thickness scaffolding pipe?
3.2mm wall thickness is the standard specification for general access scaffolding. 4.0mm wall thickness is used for heavy-duty shoring, propping, and industrial scaffolding where higher compressive loads are expected on the vertical standards.
What is the weight of a 6m scaffolding pipe?
A standard 48.3mm x 3.2mm x 6m scaffolding pipe weighs approximately 21.36 kg. The heavy-duty 4.0mm wall version weighs approximately 26.22 kg per 6m length.
Does Sun Corp supply scaffolding pipe in custom lengths?
Yes. While 6m is the standard supply length, Sun Corp can supply scaffolding pipes in custom lengths for specific project requirements. Minimum order quantities apply for custom lengths.
What IS standard applies to scaffolding pipes in India?
Scaffolding pipes in India are governed by IS 2750 (Specification for Steel Scaffolding) and IS 1161 (Steel Tubes for Structural Purposes). Material must comply with IS 2062 for mild steel grade inputs.
