Differences between galvanized steel pipes and ordinary carbon steel pipes

Differences between galvanized steel pipes and ordinary carbon steel pipes

1. The materials of galvanized steel pipes and ordinary carbon steel pipes are different

Galvanized steel pipe is a treatment method of coating the surface of ordinary carbon steel pipes with zinc to increase their corrosion resistance and rust resistance; Ordinary carbon steel pipes do not have this zinc protective layer.

2. Galvanized steel pipes have stronger corrosion and rust resistance

Due to the zinc coating on the surface of galvanized steel pipes, they have good corrosion resistance, strong rust resistance, and a longer service life.

3. Low price of ordinary carbon steel pipes

In comparison, ordinary carbon steel pipes are relatively inexpensive, but due to the lack of galvanized protection, they are prone to rust and damage.

The usage scenarios and characteristics of galvanized steel pipes and ordinary carbon steel pipes

1. Usage scenarios and characteristics of galvanized steel pipes

Galvanized steel pipes are suitable for fields such as chemical engineering, construction, textile, metallurgy, shipbuilding, as well as various liquid, gas, and solid transportation pipelines, especially for occasions requiring high corrosion resistance and rust resistance. In addition, it can also be used for water supply pipelines, heating equipment, trunking, yoga stands, billboards, and other aspects, with various uses.

2. Usage scenarios and characteristics of ordinary carbon steel pipes

Ordinary carbon steel pipes are inexpensive, but due to their susceptibility to rusting, they are not suitable for occasions with special requirements, such as pipelines used in harsh environmental conditions such as coastal areas, industrial zones, chemical plants, sea salt production areas, strong acids, alkalis, corrosive gases, mechanical greases, mixing equipment, concrete loading, bridge construction, etc.

In summary, galvanized steel pipes and ordinary carbon steel pipes each have their own advantages and disadvantages, and should be selected according to actual needs.
