Galvanized steel pipes are coated with zinc, which prevents oxidation and rusting, thus ultimately preventing pipe deterioration. They are a great choice when you need to protect steel pipes from corrosive environments. The protective qualities of galvanized pipe are produced by a hot dipping process where the zinc subsequently provides a protective layer that will rust before any steel is affected. In terms of durability, galvanized steel pipe can last for more than 100 years, depending on the amount of corrosion exposure.

Galvanized steel pipe maintains a wide range of benefits and is suitable for use in highly corrosive environments. The semi-smooth galvanized coating of galvanized steel pipe provides a layer of protection that is not available with other types of protective materials. The galvanizing coating process protects the underlying steel from corrosive elements that can deteriorate the steel and ultimately weaken its structural integrity. Key benefits of galvanized structural tubing include
Protection from corrosion and rust; Increased structural life; Overall enhanced reliability; Affordable protection; Easy inspection, reduced maintenance and ruggedness; Easier maintenance than standard painted pipe.
