Galvanized Iron Square Pipe
Galvanized iron square pipes are metal pipes with a square cross-section that have been coated with a layer of zinc through a process known as galvanization. This coating provides enhanced resistance to corrosion and extends the life of the pipes in various environments.
Specifications:
- Width & Height: Common sizes range from 20 mm x 20 mm to 100 mm x 100 mm, with custom sizes available based on requirements.
- Wall Thickness: Typically ranges from 1 mm to 6 mm, depending on the pipe size and strength needs.
- Length: Standard lengths are usually 6 meters or 12 meters. Custom lengths can be ordered according to specific project requirements.
- Grades: Galvanized iron square pipes are often manufactured from mild steel grades such as ASTM A500, ASTM A53, or EN 10219.
- Finish: The pipes are coated with zinc through galvanization, which may be done via hot-dip galvanizing or electro-galvanizing
- Hot-Dip Galvanizing: Pipes are dipped in molten zinc, resulting in a thick, robust coating that offers superior corrosion resistance.
- Electro-Galvanizing: A thinner zinc coating applied through an electroplating process, providing moderate corrosion resistance.
Applications:
- Construction: Used in structural applications including frames, supports, and scaffolding. Ideal for both residential and commercial projects.
- Fencing: Commonly used for fencing and railings due to its durability and resistance to weathering.
- Manufacturing: Employed in the production of machinery and equipment where corrosion resistance is important.
- Automotive: Utilized in vehicle components and frames that require protection against corrosion.
- Industrial: Applied in industrial settings for structural supports, racks, and equipment that are exposed to harsh conditions.
Advantages:
- Cost-Enhanced Durability: The galvanized coating significantly extends the lifespan of the pipes by protecting them from rust and corrosion.
- Low Maintenance: Requires less frequent maintenance compared to non-galvanized pipes, reducing long-term costs.
- Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of applications due to its strength and corrosion resistance.
- Aesthetic Appeal: Provides a clean, silver finish that can be visually appealing in various architectural and design contexts.
