Galvanized steel pipe VS plastic coated steel pipe
Galvanized steel pipes and plastic-coated steel pipes are two common types of steel pipes, each with its own characteristics and application scenarios.
Features | Galvanized steel pipe | Plastic coated steel pipe |
Corrosion resistance | The zinc coating on the surface | The inner and outer plastic coatings |
Durability | High | Higher |
Hygiene performance | General, not suitable for | Excellent, suitable for drinking water |
Wear resistance | Good | Excellent |
Environmental protection | General | Excellent, no pollution in the plastic coating |
Cost | Low | Higher |
Application areas | Construction, agriculture, | Water supply system, drainage system, |
Construction difficulty | Relatively simple construction | The construction is more complicated and |
Choosing which steel pipe to use depends on the specific application requirements and budget. If high corrosion resistance and high water quality requirements are required, plastic-coated steel pipes are a better choice; for general piping systems, galvanized steel pipes are an economical choice.
