Details of the galvanizing process of AS1163 galvanized steel pipe

In the field of steel pipe engineering, AS1163 galvanized steel pipe has become an ideal choice for many projects with its excellent performance and reliable quality. In particular, this type of steel pipe with NPT threads on both ends and a clean and frictionless surface shows unique advantages.

AS1163 is an Australian standard for structural steel pipes. The galvanized steel pipes produced in accordance with this standard have strict regulations on materials, dimensions, and performance, ensuring the high quality and stability of the steel pipes.

The galvanizing process is a highlight of this steel pipe. A uniform and dense zinc layer is plated on the surface of the steel pipe. This zinc layer is like a solid shield, providing excellent corrosion protection for the steel pipe. Whether in humid coastal areas or in industrial environments with corrosive media, the galvanized layer can effectively prevent oxygen, moisture, and other corrosive substances from directly contacting the steel pipe matrix, greatly extending the service life of the steel pipe and reducing the maintenance and replacement costs caused by corrosion.

The design of NPT threads on both ends greatly improves the connection convenience and sealing of the steel pipe. NPT thread is a common tapered pipe thread with good self-locking performance and sealing effect. During the installation process, only the NPT threads of the two steel pipes need to be tightened to achieve a reliable connection without the need for additional sealing materials, which greatly simplifies the installation process and improves construction efficiency. At the same time, this connection method can withstand higher pressures, ensure that the steel pipe system operates stably under high pressure environments, and effectively prevent leakage accidents.

Another notable feature of this AS1163 galvanized steel pipe is the clean and frictionless surface. During the production process, advanced processing technology and strict quality control are used to ensure that the surface of the steel pipe is smooth and flat without any burrs, scratches, or impurities. This not only improves the aesthetics of the steel pipe but more importantly, reduces the resistance of the fluid when it flows in the steel pipe and improves the delivery efficiency. In addition, the clean and frictionless surface can also reduce the wear of the steel pipe caused by friction during use, extending the service life of the steel pipe.

The NPT threads equipped at both ends provide a convenient and reliable solution for the connection of steel pipes. NPT thread is a commonly used tapered pipe thread with good sealing and connection strength. Through threaded connection, the connection between steel pipes is tighter, which can effectively prevent leakage. Moreover, the NPT threaded connection method is easy to disassemble and install and is convenient for operation during steel pipe maintenance, modification, or replacement, reducing construction difficulty and cost.

AS1163 galvanized steel pipe, with its NPT threads at both ends and clean and frictionless surface, provides high-quality and efficient solutions for steel pipe projects, and can play an important role in building water supply and drainage systems, fire protection systems, and industrial fluid transportation.
