Galvanized steel pipe performance in applications

It is believed that almost every one has ever been confronted with the problem about how to select the desired products as per actual application purposes. In general, there occur different choices between various types of welded steel pipes in the current steel pipe market, due to their distinct raw materials and processing techniques. For instance, galvanized steel pipe is one of the widely used pipes in real life.

In the modern times, there are many different uses for galvanized steel pipe in a number of industries. Galvanized steel pipe generally has the rational cost effective in the market. Hot dipped galvanized steel pipe and pre galvanized steel pipe are the two major types of galvanized steel pipe in the market today. Compared with other typical steel pipe coatings, such as specialized painting and powder coating, galvanization is much more labor-intensive, resulting in a higher initial cost for contractors. Besides, due to its durability and anti-corrosive properties, galvanized steel pipe can recycled and reused, which to some degree save a lot of money during the post maintenance work.

Technically speaking, the zinc of the hot dipped galvanized coating is more corrosion resistant than the bare iron and steel. On the other hand, hot dipped galvanized steel performance varies from environment to environment. Generally speaking, hot dipped galvanized steel pipe is widely use in the applications, such as indoor and outdoor atmospheres, the storage of hundreds of different chemicals, in fresh water, sea water, soils, concrete, and/or in conjunction with other metals, treated wood, or extreme temperatures. Testing and studies have revealed that the average life expectancy for galvanized steel used as a typical structure material is well beyond 50 years in a rural environment and 20-25 years or more in an extreme urban or coastal setting. In that regard, contractors can confidently use this product in project.

In construction industry, there are various types of structural steel pipes are widely used in many projects. Unlike other structural steel materials, galvanized steel is immediately ready for use when it is delivered. No additional preparation of the surface is required, no time-consuming inspections, additional painting or coatings are needed. Once the structure is assembled, contractors can immediately begin the next stage of construction without having to worry about the galvanized steel materials.
If you choose a galvanized pipe, you can avoid the cost of maintaining and replacing corroded pipes. With galvanized pipe, your pipes can last a lot longer than a non galvanized one, which will save you a lot of money in the project.
