What factors affect the price of galvanized metal pipe

Nowadays, there are many kinds of steel pipes such as galvanized steel pipe used in all walks of life and galvanized steel pipe is a hot type of steel tube now that become more and more popular among customers in the steel pipe market. So what do you know about galvanized steel tubes? Do you know the factors that affect its price? As its extensive application scope, we’d better know more information about galvanized steel pipe so as to avoid potential risks when using it. Today, we can talk about this kind of steel pipe.

the main pipe shape of galvanized steel pipe is round and square. This classification is pipe shape. Except for different specifications in pipe shape, we can also see the difference in galvanizing method that is hot-dip galvanizing and cold galvanizing. This classification is according to the zinc solution soaking as well as the formation sort. For example, for hot dipped galvanized steel pipe, its zinc coating is formed by dipping into zinc tank while the cold galvanized steel pipe is sprayed by zinc. Therefore, their zinc thickness is different. After the briefly introduction of the specifications of galvanized steel tube, let us look at the factors that influence the price of galvanized steel tube.

First of all, the most obvious factor that affect the steel pipe price should be the price of steel. After all, pipe price is restricted by the raw material and the influence is quite huge. Once the price of steel rises, it will make the price of steel tube rise slowly. So, steel pipe manufacturers need to know how to source out excellent raw material which is not only affect steel pipe price but also the pipe quality.

The second one is the impact of policy. If the policy reduces steel production, the steel pipe production will be reduced and the cost will be increased. Accordingly, the retail price in the market will be increased. In addition, the effect of environment protection requirement on the price of galvanized steel pipe is unique. Generally speaking, the production of steel pipe will produce certain environmental problems which is not obvious in terms of price fluctuation. However, hot dipped galvanized steel pipe can cause a certain degree of environmental damage to some extent and steel pipe manufacturers need to evolve to the waste-water discharge. As a result, the cost of producing galvanized steel tube has increased a lot and the steel tube price is more expensive.
