Question 2

Is your wire IS 280 certified?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All our Hot Dip Galvanized Mild Steel Wire is manufactured in full compliance with IS 280:2006 (Mild Steel Wire). We conduct in-house mass-of-zinc, dip test (copper sulphate), tensile strength, and diameter verification per batch before dispatch.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our Formed Wire for Cable Armouring is manufactured as per IS 3975:1999, including round and formed (flat with curvature) wire cross-sections. We test for resistivity (max 14.5 Ω/km), elongation, tensile strength, and zinc coating per batch.

Question 4

What zinc coating weights are available?

Accepted Answer

We supply light coating (60–100 g/m²), medium coating (150–200 g/m²), and heavy coating (250+ g/m²) as per IS 280 classifications. For IS 3975 armouring wire, coating is supplied as per standard requirements. Specific coating weight can be specified in your purchase order.

Question 5

What is the UTS (tensile strength) range of your wire?

Accepted Answer

Soft (annealed) grade: below 450 N/mm². Hard grade: 450–550 N/mm². For IS 3975 armouring wire: typically 300–500 N/mm² with minimum 10% elongation. All values are verified per batch with a material test certificate.

Accepted Answer

Yes. We offer sample quantities (5–10 kg per size) for quality evaluation. Sample cost is charged at market rate. We recommend testing against your application requirements or sending to an approved testing lab before bulk commitment.

Question 15

Do you offer long-term supply contracts?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We welcome long-term supply partnerships with cable manufacturers, construction companies, and distributors. Volume-based pricing agreements, priority dispatch scheduling, and dedicated account management are available for repeat buyers.

Question 16

What quality tests do you perform on each batch?

Accepted Answer

Per batch: (1) Wire diameter check with micrometer — every coil. (2) Mass-of-zinc test by gravimetric acid stripping method. (3) Dip test in copper sulphate solution — checks zinc coating continuity. (4) Tensile strength test on UTM. (5) Surface finish inspection. (6) Resistivity test for IS 3975 armouring wire.

Question 17

Are you UDYAM registered?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Khemji Wire & Wire Pvt. Ltd. is registered under the Udyam Registration scheme for Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) with the Government of India.

Question 18

What is your monthly production capacity?

Accepted Answer

Our wire drawing and galvanizing lines have a combined capacity of 700+ Metric Tons per month across all product lines. This can be scaled further for large project requirements with advance planning.

Question 19

Do you supply to cable manufacturers directly?

Accepted Answer

Yes. IS 3975 Formed Wire for Cable Armouring is a primary product supplied directly to cable manufacturing companies for underground power and telecom cable armouring. We understand cable manufacturer technical requirements and testing protocols.

Question 20

How is batch traceability maintained?

Accepted Answer

Every coil carries a batch identification number linking to the production date, wire rod heat number (raw material lot), galvanizing bath date, and quality test records. Full documentation is available on request.

Question 21

Can your wire be tested at an independent lab?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We encourage independent testing. Our wire regularly passes testing at BIS-approved and NABL-accredited testing laboratories. We can share details of testing labs for your verification.

Question 22

Do you have BIS certification (ISI mark)?

Accepted Answer

We manufacture wire in compliance with IS 280 and IS 3975 standards. For BIS certification status, please contact our sales team directly as certification status may be updated. All our products are manufactured to IS standard specifications verified by in-house testing.

Question 23

What is the difference between soft grade and hard grade GI wire?

Accepted Answer

Soft grade (annealed) GI wire has tensile strength below 450 N/mm² and high ductility — it bends easily without breaking and is used for binding, tying, and agricultural applications. Hard grade has tensile strength 450–550 N/mm² and is used for fencing, structural applications, and where higher strength is needed.

Question 24

How long does galvanized wire last outdoors?

Accepted Answer

Service life depends heavily on environment: rural/low-pollution air — 40–70 years; urban/industrial atmosphere — 20–40 years; coastal/salt air — 10–20 years. Heavier zinc coating directly extends service life. Medium-coated IS 280 wire in Rajasthan conditions typically lasts 30+ years.

Question 25

What temperature is your zinc bath maintained at?

Accepted Answer

Our hot-dip galvanizing bath is maintained at 450–460°C. This precise temperature range ensures optimal zinc-iron alloy layer formation (Fe₂Zn₅ and FeZn₁₃ intermetallic layers) without excessive iron dissolution that would reduce zinc bath life.

Question 26

Can your GI wire be used for barbed wire manufacturing?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Hard grade IS 280 GI wire in 2.0mm–2.5mm diameter is standard raw material for barbed wire manufacturing. We supply barbed wire manufacturers with consistent diameter and tensile properties required for barb formation.

Question 27

Is your wire suitable for agricultural fencing?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Medium-coated IS 280 GI wire in 2.0mm–3.5mm diameter is widely used for agricultural boundary fencing, vineyard support, orchard trellising, and poultry farm cages. We supply agricultural distributors and co-operatives across Rajasthan.

Question 28

What is resistivity and why does it matter for armouring wire?

Accepted Answer

Electrical resistivity of armouring wire determines its ability to function as an Earth Continuity Conductor (ECC) in cables. IS 3975 specifies a maximum resistivity of 14.5 Ω/km. Lower resistivity means better earthing performance. Our IS 3975 wire consistently meets this specification, which is verified per batch.

Question 29

What is the difference between electro-galvanized and hot-dip galvanized wire?

Accepted Answer

Hot-dip galvanizing (our process) provides 45–300 g/m² zinc coating with a metallurgical zinc-iron alloy bond — the zinc becomes part of the steel surface, providing long-term cathodic protection even if the coating is scratched. Electro-galvanized wire has only 10–30 g/m² zinc applied electrochemically as a thin surface layer — it offers minimal corrosion protection and is unsuitable for outdoor or structural applications.

Question 30

Can your wire withstand coastal or high-humidity environments?

Accepted Answer

For coastal environments, we recommend heavy-coated GI wire (250+ g/m² zinc coating), which significantly extends service life. For extreme marine environments (sea spray zone), we recommend specifying the highest zinc class available. Contact us to discuss your specific environment and we can recommend the right coating weight.
