What is a galvanised mild steel tube and what is it used for?
Our range of galvanised steel tube and pipe is perfect for external, industrial, and commercial applications.
The process of 'hot dip galvanising' steel increases its resistance to corrosion. The distinctive spangle surface finish is attractive to look at ( very similar to frost patterns) and requires no maintenance.
All tubes will have an M6 hole, necessary to dip the length in the galvanisation process tank.
Care should be taken when drilling or cutting this material- this should always be done in an outside space or with a good extraction system in place as the dust given off during processes that break through the galvanised surface can cause 'welders flu'. The effects of this soon wear off after exposure to fresh air, and some rest, however, it is not pleasant and can be avoided by taking sensible precautions.
FAQs
-
What are the benefits of galvanised steel tubes?
Galvanised steel tube offers great durability and resistance to corrosion, making it ideal for outdoor and industrial applications. The galvanisation process coats the steel with a protective layer of zinc, which prevents rust and extends the material's lifespan. These tubes are highly versatile, suitable for structural frameworks, plumbing, and fencing. Additionally, galvanised steel is cost-effective, requiring minimal maintenance over time, and provides a smooth finish that enhances its aesthetic appeal for both functional and decorative purposes.
-
What sizes do galvanised steel tubes come in?
Galvanised steel tubes are available in various sizes to suit multiple applications. At metals4U, we stock tubes in internal diameters from 15mm (1/2") to 150mm (6"), thicknesses from 2mm to 4.5mm, and lengths up to 6000mm to meet your project requirements. Whether you need lightweight options for DIY tasks or heavy-duty sizes for industrial use, we offer a comprehensive selection. Our custom-cutting service allows you to purchase tubes tailored to your desired dimensions, ensuring minimal waste and maximum convenience.
-
Will galvanised steel pipe rust?
Thanks to their protective zinc coating, galvanised steel pipes are designed to resist rust. This coating is a barrier, preventing moisture and oxygen from reaching the underlying steel. While galvanised steel is highly resistant to corrosion, exposure to harsh environments - such as high humidity, salty air, or acidic conditions - can wear down the coating over time. Proper care and maintenance can significantly extend the lifespan of galvanised steel pipes, keeping them rust-free for decades in most applications.
