What does galvanized pipe SC mean?

Galvanized pipe (SC) is a common steel pipe material, which is treated by hot-dip galvanizing technology in the manufacturing process. So, what does galvanized pipe SC mean?

1. Basic concept of galvanized pipe

Galvanized pipe refers to the pipe immersed in molten zinc liquid, after a series of chemical reactions and physical changes, so that the surface of the pipe formed a layer of zinc-iron alloy coating of the pipe. This galvanized treatment can effectively prevent the corrosion of the surface of the steel pipe and extend the service life of the steel pipe.

2. Meaning of galvanized pipe SC

The "SC" in galvanized pipe SC stands for "Standard Class". In the production and sales process of galvanized pipes, in order to facilitate the distinction between different standards and specifications, some code names or abbreviations are often used to indicate.

3. Standard grade of galvanized pipe SC

The standard grade of galvanized pipe is differentiated according to its manufacturing process and material and other factors. Generally, galvanized pipe SC is divided into SC1, SC2 and SC3 grades, which correspond to different surface treatment quality and corrosion resistance.

SC1: The surface treatment quality is higher, the galvanized layer is thicker, and the corrosion resistance is better. Suitable for demanding engineering projects, such as chemical, oil, natural gas and other fields.

SC2: Moderate surface treatment quality, moderate galvanized layer, good corrosion resistance. Suitable for general engineering projects, such as buildings, Bridges, roads and other fields.

SC3: The surface treatment quality is low, the galvanized layer is thin, and the corrosion resistance is general. It is suitable for some projects with low requirements for galvanized layer, such as agriculture, furniture and other fields.

4. Application field of galvanized pipe SC

Galvanized pipes are widely used in various fields, including construction, industry, agriculture and so on. It has the following main features:

- Good corrosion resistance: the galvanized layer can effectively prevent the surface of the steel pipe from oxidation and corrosion, and improve the service life of the steel pipe.

- Good welding performance: the galvanized pipe can maintain good welding performance during the welding process, and it is not easy to have weld cracking and other problems.

- Wide applicability: Galvanized pipe can be applied to different engineering projects and environmental conditions, with strong adaptability.

- Low cost, easy processing: Galvanized pipe manufacturing cost is relatively low, processing and installation is convenient, suitable for large-scale production and use.

In the construction field, galvanized pipes are often used in the construction of water supply pipes, drainage pipes, HVAC pipes and other systems. In the industrial field, galvanized pipes are often used for conveying gas, liquid and other media pipeline systems. In the field of agriculture, galvanized pipes are often used to build greenhouses and build livestock facilities.
