Introduction and price issue of galvanized steel pipe

Nowadays, with the great construction of major cities in society, the steel pipe market has enjoyed a boom and the application of the galvanized steel pipe in the construction field is very obvious. What makes difference in the steel pipe market, apart from welded steel pipe, is galvanized steel pipe. Because of its excellent insulation performance, this kind of steel pipe can be seen in many construction sites. Now, we can introduce you to the this superior steel pipe.

Firstly, this steel pipe can be divided into square steel tubes and round steel pipes according to the cross-section and there is a difference in the cross section for galvanized steel pipes. These two kinds of steel pipes have different application channels. In general, the more times the circular applied, the more extensive it can be applied. For galvanized steel pipe, except for the difference of cross-section, there also exists the difference of the galvanizing method which can be classified into hot galvanizing as well as cold galvanizing. However, what is hot galvanizing or cold galvanizing? Generally speaking, hot galvanizing will put steel pipe in the zinc solution in advance and after cooling, it will form a zinc layer on the pipe surface while the cold galvanizing is quite simple. The steel pipe will be brushed a layer of zinc under cold galvanizing procedure. Making a comparison between the two kind of steel pipes, we can find that the zinc coating of hot dipped galvanized steel pipe will be thicker and the insulation effect will be better. Accordingly, the production cost will be higher, so hot dipped galvanized steel pipe price is higher than that of ordinary steel pipe price.

The impact of environmental requirements on the price of galvanized steel tubes is quite obvious. As more and more people pay attention on the issue of the environment protection, the production cost of the pipe will be higher and higher. International environmental groups control the product standards strictly combined with the development of foreign trade, which result in higher production cost. In the future, the price of hot dipped galvanized steel pipe will increase on the basis of controlling environment cost. Steel pipe price is a very important factor in the steel pipe market. Because of its corrosion resistance and hardness, the pipe will be used in some areas of power or electricity. In a word, galvanized steel pipe is a kind of excellent construction material.
