Features

Galvanized steel pipe

Plastic coated steel pipe

Corrosion resistance

The zinc coating on the surface
provides good corrosion protection

The inner and outer plastic coatings
provide excellent corrosion resistance

Durability

High

Higher

Hygiene performance

General, not suitable for
drinking water

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,
general industry

Water supply system, drainage system,
chemical industry

Construction difficulty

Relatively simple construction

The construction is more complicated and
requires professional equipment

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.
