INDANA - Affordable Safety shields

The national safety day in India is  4th of March  as marked by National Council of Safety, India. Celebrating safety day has lead to reduction in number of accidents in Industries and has created overall awareness. The primary objective is Safety, health and awareness. India has more than 500 million workers in organized and unorganized sector.  With a reported incident rate of approximately 1 percent. Considering the large number of population involved in labor both organized and unorganized, safety of workers is of paramount importance. The Role of Flange Guards We are trying to focus on the flange safety problem. Flanges are connecting rings and are used in a piping system as pipe joints. Flanges are integral part of piping system. Flanges are also subject to failures depending upon the end of life, gasket used and the maintenance efficiency. These piping system carry liquids at times at very high pressure and temperature. Many a times these gases ...

The use of stainless steel fasteners is quite popular in many industries. The reasons include factors like they are corrosion resistant and also because they are recyclable. The other great benefit for using them is they offer any level of usage severity.  They also have great capacities to bear load in both hot as well as cold weather. In spite of the many benefits the stainless steel fasteners have if these are not handled properly it could cause great damage to the entire set up. The following are certain mistakes you must avoid at all times: Choosing the wrong grade One thing which you ought to be careful about while choosing stainless steel factors is choosing the right grade of stainless steel fasteners. You must know that the grade 304 and 316 are the one which offer great resistance to corrosion.  So this could be your preferred choice while choosing stainless steel fasteners. In case these are to be used in weather conditions which bring about r...

You would know that industrial fasteners are important for many industries. They serve many important functions. You might also be aware that heat treatments become necessary for fasteners.  We at Indana Steel are one of the leading manufacturers and suppliers of fasteners .through this blog we will provide you with certain tips in regard to heat treatments of fasteners. What the heat treatment processes for fasteners involve? The heat treatment process involves the heating and cooling operations which are applied on alloys or metals in the solid state of matter. Through this the fasteners are first subjected to the application of heat. This is done to achieve the desired alteration in rigidity, smoothness malleability and material strength.  The whole process is extremely costly. This is why it is most important that the entire process is fully effective to achieve the desired results from it. You have to consider the following points to make the proces...

Flange guards as you would know are safety shields which help to secure the vulnerable pipe joints in plants where in pipes carry hazardous chemicals and substances. Accidental spray out of such harmful chemicals can often lead to major industrial damage to humans, the valuable plant & machinery and even the environment.  However while selecting flange guards and working with them you need to be associated with them. We at  Indana Steel  being one of the leading suppliers and manufacturers of the best quality flange guards want to make you aware of the risks and dangers with them and at the same time inform you avoiding the 3 common mistakes people make working with them.  Common mistakes to avoid while working with flange guards Not wearing gloves while working on them  It is a generally tendency of people not to take the adequate precautions while working with flange guards. On of them which is common is not using hand gloves while wo...

Be it construction or any other major industry the role of nuts and bolts and other types of fasteners are critical. Thus they determine the overall strength and structure of the largest structures.  So in case you happen to have your business in the manufacturing or construction sector we are sure that you would be interested to know what the commonly used materials for nuts and bolts are. So let us understand the different types of materials used. The different types of fastener materials used Fasteners are made with   a wide variety of  of material s . These include everything from common steel to titanium, plastic and other exotic materials. Some of these materials are again separated into different grades. This is done to describe specific alloy mixtures, hardening as well as processes involved.  Apart from this some nuts and bolts are available with a variety of coatings or platings.   This is done to increase the resistance against corrosi...

Did you  know that nut protection caps are extremely important to provide protection to nuts which are installed in flanges, valves and pipelines? Nuts are fasteners with a threaded hole. They are used along with bolts to multiple parts together.  In the chemical industry pipes often may carry hazardous chemical and substances which are a great risk to humans, valuable equipment and environment. Unless the pipe joints are securely sealed, the hazardous chemicals may often get sprayed out causing great damage. So at the joints the nuts pay a pivotal role to seal the joints.  Thus these nuts must be protected at all costs to prevent any such unwanted industrial accidents. One very effective way to do it by using Nut protection caps.    Why nuts need protection?  In the industrial sector, nuts are widely used and they become exposed to various weather and environmental conditions. These nuts may get damaged and become weak in various w...

Bolts are extensively used as a fastener. They serve various purposes and there may be various types of bolts. We at  Indiana Steel  being in the steel business since long and are involved in the manufacture and supply of various kinds of fasteners includes bolts. Of the various types of bolts which are in use the HSFG bolts are widely used. These are on account of the properties they have. In this blog we will explain to you what they are and their properties and benefits of using them.   HSFG bolts what they are? How they are made? High Strength Friction Grip Bolts are popularly known are HSFG bolts. They are made from bars of medium carbon steel. These bolts have great strength. Their high strength is built through the process of quenching and tempering.  This process is also known as alloying steel. Steel washers of hard steel or carburized steel are provided to evenly distribute the clamping pressure on the bolted member and to prevent t...
