Q235 Q195 STEEL PIPE

Galvanized steel pipe is a steel pipe that has been coated with a zinc layer. The zinc layer coating protects the steel pipe from corrosion and rust. The zinc layer provides a barrier against corrosion so that the pipe can be used in the outdoor environmental conditions with satisfied service life. It is most commonly used for outdoor construction like fences and handrails, or for some interior ducts. It sometimes can be used to manufacture the scaffolding system. For example, the components of the scaffolding system like scaffolding pipes. The protective barrier proves equally effective against damage from indoor humidity and outdoor corrosion.

To create a hot-dipped galvanized steel pipe, the steel pipes should be placed into a molten bath of zinc. This process is also called hot-dipped galvanization. The two metals are chemically attached to each another in this process, resulting in a more resistant and longer-lasting version of steel.

skills requirement

1. Brand and chemical composition

The grade and chemical composition of the steel for galvanized steel pipes should comply with the grade and chemical composition of the steel for clarinet specified in GB/T3091.

2. Manufacturing method

The manufacturing method of the black pipe (furnace welding or electric welding) is selected by the manufacturer. Hot-dip galvanizing is used for galvanizing.

3. Thread and pipe joints

(A) For galvanized steel pipes delivered with threads, the threads should be machined after galvanizing. The thread should comply with YB 822 regulations.

(B) Steel pipe joints should comply with YB 238; malleable cast iron pipe joints should comply with YB 230.

4. Mechanical properties The mechanical properties of steel pipes before galvanizing should meet the requirements of GB 3091.
