Description
Galvanized steel pipes are steel tubes that have been coated with a layer of zinc to protect against corrosion and rust. This protective layer extends the life of the pipes and makes them suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications. Galvanized steel pipes are widely used in various industries due to their durability and reliability.
Key Features
- Material Composition:
- Made from high-quality carbon steel.
- Coated with zinc through hot-dip or electro-galvanizing processes.
- Corrosion Resistance:
- The zinc coating provides excellent protection against moisture and environmental elements, making these pipes ideal for outdoor use.
- Strength and Durability:
- High tensile strength allows the pipes to withstand pressure and stress, making them suitable for heavy-duty applications.
- Versatile Sizes:
- Available in a variety of diameters and wall thicknesses to meet specific requirements.
Specifications
- Diameter:
- Common diameters range from 1/2 inch to 12 inches, with custom sizes available upon request.
- Wall Thickness:
- Available in various wall thicknesses, including Schedule 40 and Schedule 80, to suit different pressure needs.
- Length:
- Typically offered in standard lengths of 6 meters (20 feet), but custom lengths can be arranged.
- Surface Finish:
- Smooth galvanized finish for enhanced corrosion resistance and aesthetic appeal.
Applications
