Galvanized Pipes

Galvanized pipes are steel pipes coated with a layer of zinc to protect against corrosion. The galvanization process enhances their durability and extends their service life, making them suitable for various applications where exposure to moisture or chemicals is a concern.

Grades:

1. IS 1239:
   • Grade A, Grade B: Standard grades for galvanized pipes in India.
2. ASTM A53:
   • Grade B: Commonly used for galvanized pipes, offering good corrosion resistance.
3. BS 1387:
   • Class C: Provides strength and durability for various applications.

Sizes:

• Nominal Pipe Size (NPS): Typically ranges from 1/2 inch to 8 inches
• Wall Thickness: Specified in schedules (SCH) or as a specific dimension

Applications:

1. Water Supply: Used for plumbing and water distribution systems, providing protection against rust and corrosion.
2. Construction: Employed in structural supports, scaffolding, and building frameworks.
3. Agriculture: Suitable for irrigation systems and other applications where exposure to the elements is common.

Galvanized pipes are favored for their corrosion resistance, cost-effectiveness, and durability, making them a reliable choice for a variety of residential, commercial, and industrial applications.
