What is galvanized pipe ?
Galvanized pipe is a steel pipe that has been coated with a layer of zinc to help prevent corrosion. The process of galvanization involves dipping the steel pipe into a bath of molten zinc or applying zinc through electroplating. The zinc coating provides a protective barrier against rust and corrosion, making galvanized pipes suitable for use in various applications, including plumbing, water distribution, gas lines, and outdoor construction projects.
2.5 Inch Galvanized Pipe: A 2.5-inch galvanized pipe typically refers to the nominal diameter of the pipe. Actual dimensions may vary slightly due to manufacturing tolerances. These pipes are constructed from steel, which is then coated with a protective layer of zinc through the process of galvanization. The zinc coating forms a barrier against corrosion, extending the lifespan of the pipe, particularly in environments prone to moisture or harsh elements.
