What’s Galvanized Steel Pipe
Galvanized steel pipe is a steel pipe with a zinc-plated surface to prevent corrosion and extend its service life. The galvanizing process is divided into hot-dip galvanizing and electro-galvanizing:
Hot-dip galvanizing: The steel pipe is immersed in molten zinc liquid to form a thicker zinc layer with strong anti-corrosion performance, suitable for outdoor and harsh environments.
Electro-galvanizing: A thinner zinc layer is formed on the surface of the steel pipe by electrolysis, which has a smooth appearance but weak anti-corrosion performance and is mostly used indoors.
Features
Anti-corrosion: The zinc layer effectively isolates air and moisture.
Durable: Extends the life of the steel pipe and reduces the frequency of replacement.
Low cost: High cost-effectiveness and low maintenance costs.
Application
Construction: Used for structures, scaffolding, etc.
Water supply: Used for conveying water, gas, etc.
Agriculture: Used in irrigation systems.
Industry: Used for conveying fluids and structural support.
Precautions
Cutting and welding: Protective measures must be taken to avoid damage to the zinc layer.
Environmental impact: Abandoned galvanized steel pipes must be properly handled to prevent pollution.
Galvanized steel pipes are widely used in many fields due to their excellent corrosion resistance and economy.
