Specifications & Technical Data

Key Features

1. Cost-Effective Durability: Hot-dip galvanizing ensures a 50+ year lifespan in harsh environments.
2. Precision Manufacturing: ERW (Electric Resistance Welded) technology guarantees ±1% dimensional accuracy.
3. Customization: Adjust zinc coating, length, and wall thickness to meet project needs.
4. Easy Installation: Compatible with galvanized steel pipe fittings for leak-proof joints.

Technical Explanations

Tensile & Bend Strength

Our pipes achieve a tensile strength of 370–550 MPa, making them ideal for high-pressure applications like water mains and gas pipelines. The bend strength is optimized through cold-forming processes, allowing the pipe to withstand deformation without cracking. For example, the galvanized steel pipe 3/4 (21.3 mm OD) maintains structural integrity under loads up to 250 PSI.

Weight Calculation

Use the formula:
Weight (kg/m)=1000(OD−WT)×WT×0.02466
Example: A galvanized steel pipe 3/4 with 21.3 mm OD and 2.0 mm wall thickness weighs approximately 1.12 kg/m.

Identification Marking

Pipes are stamped with:

• ASTM/BS standard (e.g., ASTM A53)
• Size (e.g., 3/4" or 21.3 mm)
• Manufacturer’s certification (ISO 9001, CE).

Why Stainless Steel Can Rust

Despite its corrosion resistance, stainless steel may rust due to:

1. Galvanic Corrosion: Contact with dissimilar metals in humid environments creates electrochemical reactions.
2. Chemical Exposure: Chlorides (e.g., seawater) or acids degrade the passive chromium oxide layer.
3. Mechanical Damage: Scratches expose untreated steel to oxidation.
4. Low-Quality Alloys: Subpar chromium/nickel content reduces rust resistance.

Galvanizing Process

1. Surface Cleaning: Acid pickling removes mill scale and impurities.
2. Fluxing: Zinc ammonium chloride immersion enhances coating adhesion.
3. Hot-Dip Galvanizing: Dipping in molten zinc (450°C) forms a metallurgical bond.
4. Cooling & Quality Control: Air-cooling followed by thickness and uniformity checks.

Applications

• Plumbing: Water supply, sewage systems, and galvanized steel pipe fittings for joints.
• Construction: Scaffolding, handrails, and structural frameworks.
• Agriculture: Irrigation, greenhouse frames, and livestock fencing.
• Retail: Bulk supply for retailers like galvanized steel pipe Lowes.

Why Choose Our Stainless Steel?

1. Unmatched Corrosion Resistance: Chromium-nickel alloys (e.g., 304/316L) resist rust in marine and chemical environments.
2. Hygienic Surfaces: Non-porous finish prevents bacterial growth, ideal for food and pharmaceutical industries.
3. Eco-Friendly: 100% recyclable with minimal environmental impact.
4. Aesthetic Versatility: Polished or brushed finishes complement modern architectural designs.
5. Certified Quality: ISO 9001 and SGS certifications ensure compliance with global standards.
