Galvanized, Black Coated & Uncoated Steel Pipe
A = Nominal Pipe Size (ID)
L = Length
One of the most widely used materials on Earth, galvanized steel pipe provides outstanding strength, toughness, and durability. Galvanized pipe from IMS is available coated or uncoated in various nominal sizes, including 7’ and 21’ lengths, providing a versatile, cost-effective solution.
What is Galvanized Steel Pipe?
Galvanized steel pipe features a protective zinc coating that helps prevent corrosion, rust, and the buildup of mineral deposits, thereby extending the pipe’s lifespan. Galvanized zinc coatings provide extended protection, enabling volatile applications to withstand years of continual use. Galvanized steel pipe is commonly used in plumbing and other water-supply applications.Differences Between Galvanized and Black Coated Steel Pipe
The main difference between galvanized steel and black coated steel pipe is the zinc coating that lines the galvanized pipe. Galvanized steel’s zinc coating offers a sacrificial layer that is not exhibited by black coated steel. Thus, black coated steel is less expensive than galvanized steel and is generally used for transporting gas instead of water, limiting its exposure to corrosive elements.Galvanized Steel Pipe Applications
While galvanized pipe is known for its use in construction, its rust-protective coating makes it a preferable metal option for precision automotive, plumbing, and structural applications, some of which include:- Construction and architecture
- Water/sewer plumbing fixtures
- Automotive assemblies
- Trailer frames
- Pipeline systems
- Gas and fluid transfer lines
- Industrial equipment manufacturing
- Oil and gas processing
Galvanized Pipe Advantages
Coated galvanized steel pipe is dipped into a protective zinc coating to prevent corrosion in wet environments, delivering rust-free protection for up to 30 years.- Excellent strength
- Durable surface coating
- Lower-cost alternative to stainless steel
Galvanized Steel Pipe vs. Black Coated Steel Pipe
Black coated steel pipe features an all-over black finish. Thanks to its high heat resistance, it is commonly used in fire sprinkler systems. Black steel pipe is also popular for other water transfer applications, including potable water and gas lines.The IMS Difference
