Key Properties
-
Tensile Strength
This strength ensures structural integrity even in seismic zones or galvanized water pipe repair coupling scenarios requiring frequent adjustments. The zinc layer acts as a sacrificial barrier, extending service life to 50+ years in coastal or chemical-heavy environments.
Our galvanized pipe connectors deliver 75,000 PSI tensile strength, surpassing industry standards for high-pressure gas and water systems. -
Bending Strength
Finite Element Analysis (FEA) simulations validate their performance under cyclic loading.
Designed with a 20:1 safety margin, these connectors resist deformation at deflection angles up to 25°, making them ideal for galvanized steel pipe sleeves in bridge retrofitting or offshore platforms -
Zero-Corrosion Assurance
Tested under 1,500-hour cyclic corrosion protocols (ASTM G85).
Triple-layer epoxy coating and silicone gaskets provide 360° protection against UV radiation, acid rain, and saltwater exposure.
Identification & Weight Calculation
-
Identification Marking
Each connector features laser-etched codes for full traceability:- Manufacturer ID (e.g., GPX-2050 for threaded series)
- Material grade (Q345B/ST52) and compliance stamps (ASME/ISO)
- Batch number and production date for ISO 9001 audits.
-
Weight Formula
Calculate pipe weight per meter for galvanized steel pipe threaded systems:Weight (kg/m) = (OD² - (OD - 2*WT)²) * 0.02466 Where: OD = Outer Diameter (mm) WT = Wall Thickness (mm)
Example: A 3" SCH40 pipe (OD=88.9mm, WT=5.49mm) weighs 10.25 kg/m.
Stainless Steel Corrosion: Causes & Prevention
While galvanized steel pipe sleeves excel in general use, stainless steel outperforms in extreme conditions:
-
Causes of Rust in Stainless Steel
- Galvanic Corrosion: Contact with dissimilar metals (e.g., copper) in humid environments accelerates oxidation.
- Chloride Exposure: Coastal or de-icing salt degrades the passive chromium oxide layer in 304-grade steel.
- Welding Defects: Poor TIG welding practices create carbide precipitation zones prone to pitting.
-
Preventive Measures
- Use 316L stainless (2.5% Mo) for marine or chemical-heavy installations.
- Passivation treatments (nitric acid baths) restore chromium oxide layers post-fabrication.
