Manufacturing Process
- Material Selection: Low-carbon steel coils for optimal weldability and corrosion resistance.
- Pipe Formation: Cold-rolled or electric resistance welding (ERW) for seamless joints.
- Hot-Dip Galvanizing: Immersion in molten zinc (450°C) for uniform coating and enhanced durability.
- Precision Machining: Threaded, grooved, or flanged ends for modular assembly compatibility.
- Quality Control: Hydrostatic testing and zinc thickness verification.

Technical Insights
Tensile & Bending Strength
- Tensile Strength: Galvanized pipes retain 90% of their original strength post-galvanizing, ensuring reliability under stress.
- Bending Tolerance: Use mandrel or hydraulic tools for bending galvanized steel pipe to avoid kinking.
Weight Calculation Formula
Weight (lbs) = (Outer Diameter - Wall Thickness) × Wall Thickness × 10.68 × Length (ft)
Example: A 2" (OD 60.3mm) pipe with 2.5mm WT and 20ft length weighs approximately 14.2 lbs.
Why Stainless Steel Can Rust
While stainless steel resists corrosion, improper handling or environments can cause rust:
- Chloride Exposure: Saltwater or chemicals degrade the chromium oxide layer.
- Mechanical Damage: Scratches expose iron to oxidation.
- Low Oxygen: Hinders self-healing of the protective layer.
FAQs
Q: Will SharkBite work on galvanized pipe?
A: SharkBite fittings are designed for copper or PEX pipes. While they can connect to galvanized pipes, the rough surface may compromise the seal. Use threaded adapters for reliability.
Q: How to prevent galvanized pipe corrosion?
A: Regular inspections and avoiding direct contact with dissimilar metals (e.g., copper) reduce galvanic corrosion.
