Impact-Resistant Galvanized Pipe | Reinforced Steel for Heavy Loads


Product Specifications

Parameter Details
Material Low-carbon steel (Q235, Q345) with hot-dip galvanized coating (70–300 g/m² zinc)
Standards ASTM A53, EN10219, ISO 9001, BS1387
Diameter Range 1/2" (21.3 mm) to 12" (323.9 mm) for galvanized steel pipe water systems
Wall Thickness 1.0–6.0 mm (customizable for high-pressure applications)
Length Standard: 6 m, 12 m; Custom: 1–12 m (compatible with sharkbite for galvanized pipe fittings)
Surface Finish Smooth spangled finish (hot-dip galvanized) or matte for industrial use
Hardness Rockwell B scale: G350–G550 (suitable for structural and heavy-load uses)
Max. Working Pressure 450 psi (3.1 MPa)

Key Attributes

  1. Superior Corrosion Resistance:

    • The hot-dip galvanizing process forms a zinc-iron alloy layer, offering 4–6× longer lifespan than galvanized vs black pipe alternatives. Ideal for coastal, chemical, and high-humidity environments.
    • Zinc coating acts as a "sacrificial layer," protecting the base steel even if scratched.
  2. Impact Resistance:

    • Tensile Strength: 330–550 MPa (Grade Q345 recommended for heavy-duty frameworks).
    • Bend Strength: Withstands 180° bending without cracking (tested per ASTM A370).
  3. Versatility:

    • Compatible with sharkbite for galvanized pipe fittings for leak-proof connections in plumbing, HVAC, and gas systems.
    • Suitable for structural columns, water pipelines, and industrial machinery.

Manufacturing Process

Stage Description
Material Prep Steel coils pickled to remove oxides and fluxed for optimal zinc adhesion.
Pipe Formation High-frequency induction welding (HFIW) ensures seamless joints for high-pressure use.
Galvanizing Immersion in molten zinc (450–465°C) to create a uniform, corrosion-resistant layer.
Quality Control Hydrostatic testing (1.5× working pressure) and salt spray compliance (5,000+ hours).

Technical Specifications

1. Tensile & Bend Strength

  • Tensile Strength: Ranges from 330 MPa (Grade Q195) to 550 MPa (Grade Q345). Higher grades are ideal for load-bearing structures like bridges and industrial frameworks.
  • Bend Strength: Achieves a minimum bend radius of 2.5× pipe diameter without fracture (ISO 8491 compliance).

2. Weight Calculation

Formula for galvanized pipe weight:

  • Example: A galvanized steel pipe water line with 88.9 mm OD and 4.0 mm WT weighs ~8.3 kg/m.

3. Identification Marking

  • Pipes are stamped with:
    • Manufacturer’s logo and ASTM standard (e.g., ASTM A53).
    • Size (e.g., galvanized vs black pipe compatibility).
    • Coating type (HDG for hot-dip) and production batch code.

4. Stainless Steel Rust Causes

While stainless steel resists rust due to a chromium oxide layer, corrosion can occur due to:

  • Chloride Exposure: Coastal environments or de-icing salts accelerate pitting (common in vent pipe systems).
  • Mechanical Damage: Scratches or welding disrupt the oxide layer, exposing the substrate to oxidation.
  • Chemical Contamination: Acids or alkalis (e.g., industrial pollutants) degrade protective layers.

Why Choose Our Galvanized Pipes?

  1. Bulk Pricing Advantage: Competitive rates for structural and water pipeline projects (FOB: $700–900/ton).
  2. Custom Solutions: Precision threading for sharkbite for galvanized pipe fittings and pre-cut lengths.
  3. Certified Quality: ISO 9001, RoHS, and ASTM compliance with 5,000+ hours of salt spray testing.
  4. Global Logistics: Sea-worthy packaging and 15–30 day delivery worldwide.

Why Stainless Steel Stands Out

While galvanized pipes excel in cost-effectiveness, our stainless steel products offer unmatched longevity for specialized applications:

  1. Superior Corrosion Resistance: Chromium-nickel alloys (e.g., SUS 304/316) resist rust even in acidic or marine environments.
  2. Hygienic & Aesthetic: Non-porous surface prevents bacterial growth, ideal for food processing and architecture.
  3. Low Maintenance: No recoating required, reducing lifecycle costs by 30% compared to galvanized options.
