Galvanized steel pipe is galvanized on the inner and outer surfaces of steel pipes to prevent corrosion of the surrounding environment and increase the service life. Galvanized pipe can be galvanized by seamless steel pipe or welded steel pipe, and different ways of galvanizing also have different effects on the service life of steel pipe. Galvanized pipes are widely used. The natural gas pipelines in our daily life are galvanized welded pipes. Galvanized pipes are also used in heating and greenhouse construction. Some shelf pipes used in building construction are also galvanized pipes for corrosion prevention.

Benefits of Galvanized Steel Pipe
Coated in zinc, galvanized steel pipes are protected from oxidation and rust, which ultimately prevents deterioration of the pipe. They are a great option when you need to protect your steel pipes from a corrosive environment. The protective quality of galvanized pipe is created through a hot-dipping process, where the zinc then provides a protective layer that will rust away before any of the steel is affected. In terms of durability, a galvanized steel pipe can last well over 100 years, depending on the amount of corrosion exposure.
Galvanized steel pipe maintains a wide range of benefits, suitable for use in highly corrosive environments. The semi-smooth, zinc finish of galvanized steel pipe provides a layer of protection that is not seen in other types of protective materials. The galvanized coating process protects the underlying steel from encountering corrosive elements that could deteriorate the steel and ultimately weaken its structural integrity. Main advantages of galvanized structural pipe include:
Protects against corrosion and rust
Increased structural longevity
Overall enhanced reliability
Affordable protection
Easy to inspect
Less repairs
Rugged toughness
Easier to maintain than standard painted pipes
Protected by advanced ASTM standardization
Common Applications for Galvanized Pipe
Galvanized steel pipe is an excellent choice for many applications and processing techniques. Some common applications for galvanized steel pipe include:
Plumbing
Construction
Hot and cold liquid transportation
Bollards
Exposed environments
Marine environments
Railings or Handrails
Fence Posts and Fencing
With the proper protection galvanized pipe can also be sawed, torched, or welded. Galvanized steel pipe is ideal for numerous types of applications where corrosion resistance is required.
