4 inch galvanized pipe
A 4 inch galvanized pipe represents a crucial component in various industrial and commercial applications, characterized by its robust construction and protective zinc coating. This pipe features a nominal diameter of 4 inches and undergoes a specialized galvanization process where steel is coated with a protective layer of zinc, creating a highly durable and corrosion-resistant product. The galvanization process involves immersing the steel pipe in molten zinc at temperatures around 860°F, forming a metallurgical bond that provides superior protection against rust and deterioration. These pipes are designed to handle significant flow capacities and can withstand pressures up to 150 PSI, making them ideal for water distribution systems, fire protection networks, and industrial fluid transport. The zinc coating typically measures between 3.0 and 5.0 mils in thickness, ensuring long-term protection and minimal maintenance requirements. The pipe's interior surface is smooth, reducing friction loss and enabling efficient fluid flow, while its exterior coating provides excellent resistance to environmental factors and mechanical damage.
