Galvanized Steel Pipe Astm A36

When you are looking for a steel pipe solution that can withstand the challenges of time and the environment, galvanized steel pipe Astm A36 becomes a cornerstone material you can trust with its excellent protection performance and outstanding mechanical strength.

Galvanized Steel Pipe ASTM A36 is a common type of steel pipe that is protected from rust and corrosion by coating its surface with a layer of zinc. This type of pipe has a wide range of uses, from construction to plumbing to industrial equipment.

    Brief Introduction

    Galvanizing is a chemical process that forms a zinc layer on the surface of steel pipes, providing better corrosion resistance compared to other steel pipes, especially in environments such as humidity and acid rain. anti-corrosion effect.

    At the same time, the surface of galvanized pipe also has self-healing properties. When the surface of the steel pipe is damaged, a new zinc layer will automatically form to protect the inside of the steel pipe.

    Characteristics/Parameters Typical Values/Range Description
    Base material standards ASTM A36 (for structures) / ASTM A53 Gr B (more common for pressure piping, but A36 is also widely used for structures) Provides reliable strength and weldability
    Galvanizing Standards ASTM A123 / ASTM A153 Specifies hot-dip galvanizing process and zinc coating requirements
    Surface treatment                                         Hot-dip galvanizing, bright grey spangled surface or smooth spangle-free surface (depending on the process)  Provide sacrificial anode protection
    Common outside diameters (OD)                             1/2" (21.3mm) to 8" (219.1mm) and above   Wide range to meet different needs
    Common wall thickness (WT) SCH 40, SCH 80, STD, XS and custom wall thickness                                                                                                                                       Different pressure/load bearing capacity options available
    Zinc coating requirements (minimum)                                Average coating weight: 610 g/m² (2.0 oz/ft²)   Average of three specimens to ensure basic corrosion protection

    Process


    Hot Dipped Galvanized Square Steel Pipe



    Hot dipped galvanized square steel pipe Astm A36 is processed by processes such as hot dip plating or electro-galvanizing, which can effectively prevent surface corrosion of steel pipes and extend their service life.


    Hot dipped galvanized round steel pipe also has excellent weather resistance and can be used in different climate conditions, so they are widely used in outdoor construction and equipment manufacturing.

    Dimensional specifications

    The dimensional specifications of steel pipe A36 is usually described by the outer diameter (OD), wall thickness (WT) and length (L).

    1. outside diameter (OD): OD is the distance from the outer surface of the pipe to the centre, usually in inches (inch) or millimetres (mm) for the unit. Common OD includes 1/2 inch, 3/4 inch, 1 inch, 1-1/4 inch, etc.. Different outside diameters for different applications, such as home plumbing or industrial piping.

    2. wall thickness (WT): wall thickness is the thickness of the pipe wall, usually in inches or millimetres. Wall thickness directly affects the strength and durability of the pipe. Thicker wall thicknesses are often used in applications that require greater load-bearing capacity.

    3. length (L): length indicates the overall length of the pipe, usually in feet (foot) or metres (meter). Common lengths include 10 ft, 20 ft, 6 metres, and so on. Pipe length specifications can be customised to meet the needs of a specific project.

    Advantages

    index_4-3

    Durable

    Galvanized steel pipe corrosion-resistant life can be extended several times or even dozens of times, and it can easily cope with moisture, rain, soil and some industrial atmospheric environments, significantly reducing maintenance costs and replacement frequency, and lowering the cost of the entire life cycle.
    index_6-5

    Scientific protection

    Using advanced hot-dip galvanizing process. This layer of "armor" provides excellent sacrificial anode protection - even if the surface is scratched, the zinc layer will still corrode first, protecting the internal steel from rust.
    index_7-5

    Strength and toughness

    A36 hot dip galvanized steel pipe is known for its excellent weldability, formability and machinability, while providing a reliable balance of strength and toughness to meet a wide range of structural and load-bearing needs.
    index_8-7

    Reduce costs

    Strong corrosion resistance means that almost no additional anti-corrosion maintenance is required during the life cycle of the pipeline, saving a lot of manpower and financial resources.
    index_10-7

    Extend life

    Under standard atmospheric conditions, the protection life of high-quality hot-dip galvanized layers can reach more than 50 years, significantly improving the return on investment.
    index_19-5

    Reduce losses

    Avoid unexpected shutdowns and replacements caused by pipeline corrosion damage, ensuring continuous and stable operation of the project.

    How to ensure quality?

    Strict material selection: Only high-quality low-carbon steel coils or seamless steel pipes that meet the ASTM A36 standard are used as the base material.

    Advanced technology: The fully automatically controlled hot-dip galvanizing production line is used to ensure that the zinc liquid temperature and galvanizing time are precisely controlled, and the zinc layer adheres firmly and evenly.

    Precise control: Strictly implement ASTM A123/A123M (for structural parts galvanizing) or ASTM A153/A153M (for hardware galvanizing) standards, and strictly test the zinc layer thickness/weight (common methods: magnetic thickness gauge, weighing method) to ensure that it meets or exceeds the standard requirements (such as: average zinc layer weight ≥ 610 g/m²).

    Comprehensive quality inspection: From the storage of raw materials to the delivery of finished products, a multi-channel quality inspection process is implemented, including dimensional tolerance, surface quality (no missing plating, no dripping, no peeling), mechanical properties (yield strength, tensile strength, elongation) and zinc layer adhesion test (such as hammer test, bending test).

    Authoritative certification: Products can provide test reports that comply with ISO quality management system certification to ensure quality traceability.
