Is galvanized pipe still used for anti-corrosion when buried underground?

December 08, 2023

1、 Anti corrosion treatment of galvanized pipes

Galvanized pipes, as steel pipes with a surface galvanized layer, are coated with a layer of zinc to enhance their corrosion resistance. Therefore, using galvanized pipes outdoors or in humid environments is a good choice. However, in certain special situations, such as when installing pipelines underground, galvanized pipes may require further anti-corrosion coating treatment.

2、 Do galvanized pipes require anti-corrosion treatment when buried underground? When carrying out pipeline buried construction, it is often necessary to consider the anti-corrosion issues of the pipeline to ensure its safety and service life. For galvanized pipes, due to their surface being galvanized, they have a certain degree of anti-corrosion effect. However, if the pipeline is in harsh environments or buried deep, further anti-corrosion coating treatment is required.

3、 How to carry out anti-corrosion coating treatment? When carrying out anti-corrosion coating treatment on galvanized pipes, methods such as applying paint or coatings with good corrosion resistance, wrapping with anti-corrosion tape, and using epoxy coal tar or petroleum asphalt can be used. It should be noted that during anti-corrosion treatment, it is necessary to ensure that the pipeline surface is dry and clean to ensure that the coating can firmly adhere to the pipeline surface.

4、 In general, galvanized pipes have a certain anti-corrosion effect and can be directly used for underground use. However, in situations where the pipeline is buried deeply and the environment is harsh, further anti-corrosion coating treatment is needed to extend the service life of the pipeline. When carrying out anti-corrosion coating treatment, attention should be paid to the quality of the coating and the usage environment to ensure the long-lasting anti-corrosion effect and stable performance.

Heat Shrinkable Sleeves ,3LPE Heat Shrink Sleeves，2PE Heat Shrink，Cold-Applied Polymeric Tape are popular be used for galvanized pipes.
