SPECIFICATIONS

Black steel pipe & galvanized steel pipe

Black steel pipe is uncoated steel, also known as black steel. The dark color comes from iron oxide that forms on its surface during manufacturing. When the steel pipe is forged, a black oxide skin is formed on its surface, giving it the finish seen on this type of pipe.
Galvanized steel pipe is steel covered with a layer of zinc metal. During the galvanizing process, the steel is immersed in a bath of molten zinc to ensure a firm, uniform isolation coating. The galvanized pipe is covered with zinc material, which makes the pipe more corrosion resistant.

What is black steel pipe?

Black steel pipe is uncoated steel, also known as black steel. The dark color comes from iron oxide that forms on its surface during manufacturing. When the steel pipe is forged, a black oxide skin is formed on its surface, giving it the finish seen on this type of pipe.

Black steel pipe's strengths makes them ideal for transporting gas and water in urban and rural areas and also for conduits that protect electrical wiring and for delivering high pressure air and steams. The petroleum and oil industries uses black steel pipes for moving large quantities of oil through remote areas. This is favourable, since black steel pipes requires very low maintenance.Other uses for black steel pipes include gas distribution inside and outside homes, sewage systems and water wells.

What is galvanized steel pipe?

Galvanized steel pipe is steel covered with a layer of zinc metal. During the galvanizing process, the steel is immersed in a bath of molten zinc to ensure a firm, uniform isolation coating. The galvanized pipe is covered with zinc material, which makes the pipe more corrosion resistant.

Galvanized steel pipe mainly used in transmission of coal gas, steam. It was used as water pipe, but after several years past, there were many rust in the pipe, and water get yellow color for carrying iron oxide. The water not only polluted dishes or other sanitary ware, but also carrying bacteria produced in the internal surface which not smooth . As a result of the corrosion, the water contains heavy metal element is too much and is harmful to people’s health. For this reason, developed countries gradually banned it using as water pipe since 1960s.

How do you distinguish between black steel pipe and galvanized steel pipe?

1. Check the color of the pipe. The black steel pipe is flat black, and the galvanized pipe is silver gray. Black steel pipes are darker than galvanized ones.
2. Tell the difference by the materials they carry. Galvanized pipes are usually used for water transport and black steel pipes for gas transport.
3. Tell the pipeline you're using from the beginning of the year. If the pipe was installed after the 1950s, it is likely to be black steel, since black steel pipes were used later than galvanized pipes.

What are the differences between black steel pipe and galvanized steel pipe?

Use different The main use of black steel pipe is to transport propane or natural gas to residential and commercial buildings. The pipe has no seams, making it a better pipe for carrying gas. Black steel pipe is also used in fire sprinkler systems because it is more fire-resistant than galvanized pipe. The main use of galvanized pipes is to deliver water to homes and commercial buildings. Zinc also prevents deposits from building up that could clog water pipes. Galvanized pipe is commonly used as scaffolding because it is resistant to corrosion.
Differences in questions The zinc on the galvanized pipe can flake off over time and clog the pipe. Flaking can cause pipes to burst. It is dangerous to use galvanized pipes to carry gas. On the other hand, black steel pipes corrode more easily than galvanized ones and allow minerals in the water to build up in them.
Cost difference The cost of galvanized wire pipe is higher than that of black steel pipe because of the zinc coating and manufacturing process involved in producing galvanized pipe. The cost of galvanized fittings is also higher than that of black steel fittings. In the construction of residential or commercial buildings, galvanized steel pipes should never be connected with black steel pipes.

 
different black steel pipe and galvanized steel pipe

A brief explanation of the differences

1. Black pipes and galvanized pipes are made of steel.
2. Although galvanized pipes have zinc coating, black pipes do not Black pipes are more suitable for carrying gas due to their susceptibility to corrosion.
3. Galvanized pipes, on the other hand, are ideal for carrying water, but not gas.
4. Galvanized pipes are more expensive due to galvanizing.
5. Galvanized pipe is more durable.
