When you see the title, you may ask, galvanized steel pipe is galvanized steel pipe, do you need to distinguish it? Indeed, galvanized steel pipe is actually a pipe obtained by galvanizing ordinary welded steel pipe. However, due to the different production processes, galvanized steel pipes are also distinguished by types.
For example, the order of galvanizing and processing is different, resulting in two different products, and the price of galvanized steel pipe will also be different.
The steel material is first galvanized to produce galvanized strip steel, and then the steel pipe made by post-processing is called galvanized strip steel pipe, also known as pre-galvanized steel pipe.
First, the steel raw materials are produced into ordinary steel pipes of the required welded steel pipe specifications, and then galvanized. The galvanized steel pipe produced in this way is called hot-dip galvanized steel pipe, also known as hot-dip galvanized steel pipe.
These two kinds of galvanized steel pipes are quite different in price, and galvanized strip steel pipes are much cheaper than hot-dip galvanized steel pipes. This is due to the thickness of the zinc layer, the steel pipe produced by the hot-dip galvanizing process will be thicker and the anti-corrosion ability will be stronger.
However, many customers still tend to buy pre-galvanized steel pipes when inquiring to buy galvanized pipes. Not only because the price is cheap, but also because the use is not much different from hot-dip galvanized steel pipe on the basis of price.
However, it should be noted that if the wall thickness of the steel pipe you need has relatively high requirements, for example, the wall thickness is required to be more than 2.5mm. Then the steel pipe manufacturer will default that what you require is hot-dip galvanized steel pipe. This is because the galvanized strip, the raw material of pre-galvanized steel pipe, cannot achieve such wall thickness conditions.
That is to say, under the same conditions of use, people will use cheaper pre-galvanized steel pipes, and in special cases choose hot-dip galvanized steel pipes. The characteristics of these two kinds of galvanized steel pipes must be distinguished.
