Key Attributes
-
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.
-
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).
-
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?
- Bulk Pricing Advantage: Competitive rates for galvanized 3 x2 sections of vent pipe for sale with volume discounts (FOB: $680–850/ton).
- Custom Solutions: Precision threading for compression fitting for galvanized pipe and pre-cut lengths.
- Certified Quality: ISO 9001, RoHS, and ASTM compliance with 5,000+ hours of salt spray testing.
- 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:
- Superior Corrosion Resistance: Chromium-nickel alloys (e.g., SUS 304/316) resist rust even in acidic or marine environments.
- Hygienic & Aesthetic: Non-porous surface prevents bacterial growth, ideal for food processing and architecture.
- Low Maintenance: No recoating required, reducing lifecycle costs by 30% compared to galvanized options.
