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.

benefits of galvanized structural pipe
galvanized 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 steel pipe
galvanized 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
exposed environments
marine environments
railings
fencing
with the proper protection galvanized pipe can also be sawed, torched, or welded. galvanized structural pipe is ideal for numerous types of applications where corrosion resistance is required.
