Galvanized Steel Pipe (threaded)

Galvanized Steel Pipe (threaded)

Galvanized steel pipe is a type of steel pipe with a zinc coating to prevent rust. It is produced by hot-dip galvanizing or electroplating, where a layer of zinc is applied to the surface of the steel pipe to form a protective layer. Threaded galvanized steel pipe is another type with a zinc coating and threaded connections at both ends for easy connection to other pipes or fittings. It combines the corrosion resistance of galvanized steel pipe with the convenience of threaded connections, making it widely used in systems requiring rapid installation and disassembly.

Hot-Dip Galvanizing

Hot-dip galvanizing is widely used due to its thick zinc layer, low processing cost, and high production efficiency.


Hot-dip galvanizing production process

Cleaning: Thoroughly clean the steel to remove any dirt, grease, or rust. This is typically done through a series of chemical cleanings, including alkaline cleaners, acid pickling, and flux.
Pickling: Immerse the steel in an acidic solution (usually hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid) to remove any residual scale and rust.
Fluorescence: The steel is then immersed in a flux solution (usually zinc ammonium chloride) to prevent oxidation before entering the galvanizing bath.
Zincizing: The cleaned and melted steel is immersed in a molten zinc bath at approximately 450°C (842°F). Zinc metallurgically bonds with the steel, forming a series of zinc-iron alloy layers.

Cooling: After being removed from the zinc bath, the steel is cooled in water or air to allow the zinc coating to solidify.

Electro-Galvanizing

Electro-galvanizing uses an electrical current to apply a thin layer of zinc to the surface of the steel pipe. This method is typically used for pipes that are exposed to less severe conditions. Electro-galvanized pipes have a smooth, uniform finish but do not provide the same level of protection against corrosion as hot-dip galvanized pipes.


Benefits of Electro-Galvanizing:
Smoother Finish: Electro-galvanized pipes have a sleek and uniform coating.
Cost-Effective: Because the coating is thinner, electro-galvanizing is typically more affordable than hot-dip galvanizing.
Ideal for Less Harsh Conditions: Best suited for indoor or low-moisture environments.

Pipe Threading

Threaded pipes can provide an effective seal for pipes transporting liquids, gases, steam, and hydraulic fluid. We thread any length of pipe in diameters ranging from 1/8” to 20”. Tapers available are NPT*, NPS*, 3/16” Peerless, and 8 round taper. (See fabrication services page for larger diameters).
