Galvanized Steel Pipe: A Durable and Versatile Solution for Multiple Industries

Galvanized steel pipe: anti-corrosion and durable, the preferred material for multi-field applications

                                          

Galvanized steel pipe is a kind of steel pipewith hot-dip or electro-galvanized layer on the surface of ordinary Steel Pipe, which is widely used in construction, municipal, agricultural, industrial and household fields because of its excellent corrosion resistance. As an important category of metal pipes, galvanized steel pipes play an irreplaceable role in various engineering projects with their excellent cost performance and long service life.

Analysis of product characteristics
Excellent anti-corrosion properties
The zinc layer forms a dense protective film on the surface of the steel pipe, which effectively isolates air and moisture, and its anti-corrosion ability is 5-8 times that of ordinary steel pipes. Experimental data show that the service life can reach more than 30 years in a standard environment.

Excellent mechanical strength
Galvanized steel pipemade of high-quality low-Carbon Steel, with a tensile strength of more than 300MPa and a working pressure of 6MPa, which is suitable for high-pressure water and gas transportation.

Flexible connectivity
Galvanized steel pipe supports a variety of installation processes such as threaded connection, flange connection, welding, etc., and the construction convenience is significantly better than that of PVC and other plastic pipes.

Environmental protection and safety certification
Galvanized steel pipe has passed the ISO9001 quality management system certification, in line with the GB/T3091-2015 national standard, and the precipitation of heavy metals is much lower than the drinking water hygiene standard.

Industry application scenarios
Construction engineering: widely used in building water supply and drainage systems, fire pipes, steel structure supports and other fields, with an annual consumption of more than 20 million tons.
Municipal engineering: the preferred material for infrastructure such as urban water supply and drainage pipe networks, street lamp poles, and traffic guardrails.
Agricultural irrigation: As the main pipe of sprinkler irrigation and drip irrigation system, its weather resistance can adapt to various soil environments.
Industrial field: process pipelines in petroleum, chemical, electric power and other industries, especially suitable for the transportation of corrosive media.

Market advantage analysis
Compared with alternative products such as stainless steel pipes and plastic pipes, galvanized steel pipes have obvious price advantages (30%-50% lower unit price) and extremely low maintenance costs. In recent years, with the improvement of the hot-dip galvanizing process, the uniformity of the zinc layer of the new generation of galvanized pipes has been increased by 20%, and the service life has been extended to 50 years. Driven by national strategies such as rural revitalization and urban renewal, the market demand for galvanized steel pipes has maintained a stable growth rate of 6% per year.

Experts suggest that when purchasing, attention should be paid to distinguishing hot-dip galvanizing and electro-galvanizing products, and the hot-dip galvanized layer is thicker (≥65μm), which is suitable for outdoor use; Electrogalvanized pipes (zinc layer 3-5μm) are more suitable for indoor dry environments. With the popularization of green building concepts, galvanized steel pipes are becoming an important choice for sustainable buildings due to their 100% recyclable properties.
