How to choose proper type of steel pipe in hydraulic applications?

Due to the abrasive nature of many fluids and their various temperatures, it is important to use the proper piping materials. As a rule, proper steel tube material, type and size for a given application and type of fitting is critical for efficient and trouble free operation of the fluid system. Furthermore, it is very important for you to choose the proper type of steel pipe for your hydraulic system in order to achieve an optimum combination of efficient and cost effective performance. When you are selecting pipe for specific applications, the wall thickness must be considered to allow for proper fluid flow. Improper pipe ID will create a large pressure drop in that section of piping.

Hot dipped galvanized steel pipe is very popular with people for some applications today, such as indoor and outdoor atmospheres. Galvanized steel pipe generally has the rational cost effective in the market. Compared with other typical steel pipe coatings, such as specialized painting, powder coating, 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.

With the layer of protection, round steel pipes are frequently used in hydraulic applications and can also withstand the harm from some of the environmental effects. 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. 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.
