Wall Thickness 0.5–6.0 mm (customizable for high-pressure applications)
Length Standard: 6 m, 12 m; Custom: 1–12 m (pre-cut galvanized 3 x2 sections of vent pipe for sale)
Surface Finish Smooth spangled finish (hot-dip galvanized), matte or glossy options
Hardness Rockwell B scale: G300–G550 (suitable for structural loads)
Max. Working Pressure 300 psi (2.07 MPa)

Key Attributes

  1. Corrosion Resistance:

    • The zinc-iron alloy layer formed during hot-dip galvanizing offers 4–6× longer lifespan than electro-galvanized pipes. Ideal for coastal and high-humidity environments.
    • Black galvanized pipe variants provide enhanced UV resistance for outdoor installations.
  2. Durability:

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

    • Compatible with compression fitting for galvanized pipe, ensuring leak-proof connections for water, gas, and HVAC systems.
    • Suitable for structural frameworks, fire sprinklers, and ventilation systems (e.g., galvanized 3 x2 sections of vent pipe for sale).

Manufacturing Process

Stage Description
Material Prep Steel coils pickled to remove oxides, followed by fluxing in zinc ammonium chloride.
Pipe Formation High-frequency induction welding (HFIW) for precision seam integrity.
Galvanizing Immersion in molten zinc (450–465°C) to form alloy layers.
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 (e.g., ASTM A106) are ideal for load-bearing structures and high-pressure gas lines.
  • Bend Strength: Achieves a minimum bend radius of 2.5× pipe diameter without fracture (tested per ISO 8491).

2. Weight Calculation

Formula for galvanized pipe weight:

  • Example: A black galvanized pipe with 60.3 mm OD and 3.2 mm WT weighs ~4.5 kg/m.

3. Identification Marking

  • Pipes are stamped with:
    • Manufacturer’s logo
    • ASTM standard (e.g., ASTM A53)
    • Size (e.g., compression fitting for galvanized pipe compatibility)
    • Coating type (HDG for hot-dip)

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 accelerate pitting (common in vent pipe systems).
  • Mechanical Damage: Scratches or welding disrupt the oxide layer, exposing the substrate.
  • Chemical Contamination: Acids or alkalis (e.g., industrial pollutants) degrade protective layers.

Why Choose Our Galvanized Pipes?

  1. Bulk Pricing Advantage: Competitive rates for galvanized 3 x2 sections of vent pipe for sale with volume discounts (FOB: $680–850/ton).
  2. Custom Solutions: Precision threading for compression fitting for galvanized pipe 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 alternatives 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.
