Stainless Steel Pipe vs Galvanized Pipe

Galvanized pipes and stainless steel pipes are widely used, but attention should be paid to details. So what is the difference between galvanized pipe and stainless steel pipe?

1. Different concepts

Galvanized pipe is a welded steel pipe with a hot-dip galvanized or electro-galvanized layer on the surface; stainless steel pipe is a hollow elongated round steel.

2. Different processing technology

Galvanized pipe is mainly coated with a layer of dense zinc on the surface of the steel pipe, the purpose is to prevent surface of steel plate from corrosion and prolong its service life; stainless steel pipe is the internal addition of other metal elements, is the internal structural changes and make the steel pipe is not easy to rust.

3. Different price

The price of galvanized pipe is cheaper than that of stainless steel pipe, mainly because the materials of the two are different, the processing process is different, and the effect is different.

4. Different performance

Galvanized pipe cannot be further processed, and the carbon content inside will be relatively high, and it contains good hardness and brittleness. The performance of the stainless steel pipe will be stronger, and it can be further processed.

5. Different scope of application

Hot-dip galvanized pipes are widely used in construction, machinery, coal mines, chemical industry, electric power, and other manufacturing industries; stainless steel pipes are mainly used in petroleum, chemical, medical, food, light industry, mechanical instrumentation and other industrial transportation pipelines and mechanical structural components, etc. , and also used in furniture and kitchenware.

What should be paid attention to when using stainless steel pipes?

1. In the process of using stainless steel pipes, there are many details that need to be paid attention to. For example, in the process of transportation, do not drag the pipeline to walk at will, to avoid scratches on the port and its surface, which will affect the overall use.

2. In the process of handling the stainless steel pipe, it is necessary to be especially cautious, and there should be no violent fall. Although the compressive resistance of stainless steel pipes is relatively strong and contains a certain degree of extensibility, there is no shortage of the phenomenon of violent fall and deformation, so as to avoid the appearance of dents on the surface of some stainless steel pipes, which will affect the normal use.

3. When using stainless steel pipes with different materials, try not to contact corrosive media to prevent corrosion. If you want to cut, then you must clean up the burrs and impurities to prevent hand injury.
