What is P&O Sheet? (Pickled & Oiled Sheet)

P&O sheet stands for Pickled and Oiled Sheet, also known as HRPO (Hot Rolled Pickled & Oiled). It is hot rolled steel that undergoes two additional processes: pickling (acid treatment to remove mill scale) and oiling (application of protective oil film). The pickling process uses hydrochloric or sulfuric acid to chemically remove the black mill scale from hot rolled steel, exposing clean gray steel surface. The oiling process applies a thin protective oil film to prevent rust during storage and transportation. P&O sheets offer better surface cleanliness and weldability than standard HR sheets, while being 15-20% cheaper than cold rolled sheets. They are ideal for applications requiring scale-free surface for welding, painting, or further processing, but where the tight tolerances of CR sheets are not necessary. Common in automotive structural parts, tube manufacturing, and precision fabrication where surface quality matters but cold rolling is cost-prohibitive.

Technical Q&A

Verified Procurement Intelligence

What is P&O sheet full form?
P&O stands for Pickled and Oiled. Also called HRPO (Hot Rolled Pickled & Oiled). It's hot rolled steel with mill scale removed by acid pickling and protective oil coating applied.
What is the price of 2mm P&O sheet 8x4 ft?
2mm P&O sheet (8x4 ft) costs approximately ₹2,840 per sheet (48.5 kg). This is 3-5% more than HR sheet but 12-15% less than CR sheet. For bulk orders (50+ sheets), discounts available. Contact +91 8459121717 for current rates.
What is the difference between P&O sheet and HR sheet?
P&O (Pickled & Oiled) has scale-free clean surface with oil protection, better for welding and painting. HR (Hot Rolled) has rough mill scale that must be removed before welding. P&O costs 3-5% more but saves pre-processing time and improves weld quality.
Is P&O sheet better than CR sheet?
P&O and CR serve different purposes. CR has tighter tolerances (+/-0.05mm) and smoother finish, ideal for precision parts and visible surfaces. P&O has adequate surface cleanliness for welding/painting at 12-15% lower cost. For automotive structural parts and tubes, P&O is more economical; for body panels and appliances, CR is necessary.
Can P&O sheets be welded directly?
Yes, P&O sheets can be welded directly without descaling or surface preparation. The scale-free clean surface ensures strong weld penetration. This is P&O's main advantage over HR sheets which require descaling before welding.
How long does the oil coating last?
The protective oil coating prevents rust for 3-6 months when stored in covered, dry conditions. For longer storage or outdoor exposure, additional rust prevention (primer coating) is recommended. The oil is water-displacing and provides temporary corrosion protection.
Which thickness is best for tube manufacturing?
For tube manufacturing: 2mm-3mm for standard ERW tubes, 2.5mm-4mm for structural tubes, 4mm-6mm for heavy-duty industrial tubes. P&O is preferred over HR for tubes because the scale-free surface provides better interior finish and weld quality.
Do you deliver P&O sheets in Navi Mumbai and Thane?
Yes, we deliver across Mumbai, Navi Mumbai, Thane. Same-day dispatch for Vasai-Virar area. Next-day delivery for other Mumbai regions. For bulk orders to tube mills or automotive suppliers, we arrange direct delivery with proper packaging to prevent oil removal during transport.
Can P&O sheets be painted?
Yes, P&O sheets have excellent paint adhesion. The oil coating should be cleaned with degreaser before painting. The clean scale-free surface provides much better paint bonding than HR mill scale. Many automotive and furniture manufacturers prefer P&O for painted applications.
Do you offer secondary P&O sheets?
Yes, we stock secondary P&O sheets at 15-20% discount. These may have slight oil coating variations, minor edge imperfections, or small surface marks but maintain the scale-free surface and weldability. Ideal for non-critical applications or parts that will be heavily processed (bending, forming, painting).
What is the HSN code for P&O sheet?
HSN code for P&O sheet is 7208 (same as HR sheet, as P&O is surface-treated HR). GST rate is 18%.
