Steel pipes are widely used in construction, engineering networks, agriculture, and industry. They serve as the basis for water supply, heating, ventilation systems, and are also used in structures operating under aggressive environments. The greatest threat to pipes is corrosion, which significantly shortens their service life. The most effective way to protect metal is hot-dip galvanizing, which creates a long-lasting anti-corrosion barrier.
Why it is important to galvanize pipes
Pipes have a large surface area and are constantly in contact with moisture, chemicals, or condensation. If left unprotected, within just a few years they will start to rust, leading to leaks, accidents, or the complete replacement of system sections. Galvanizing solves this problem: a zinc layer is applied to the surface, which hermetically isolates the steel from external factors and absorbs the impact of aggressive environments.
Advantages of hot-dip galvanizing pipes
This method is considered the “gold standard” in metal protection because it combines simplicity with high efficiency. Hot-dip galvanizing delivers results that surpass other methods in durability and resistance to external influences. That is why it is used where maximum reliability and minimal maintenance costs are required. More details on the benefits:
- durability – the service life of pipes extends by 20–60 years depending on operating conditions;
- resistance to mechanical damage – the coating does not peel or crack even with scratches;
- reliable protection in harsh conditions – withstands moisture, reagents, UV radiation, and sudden temperature changes;
- economic benefit – eliminates the need for regular painting and repairs;
- aesthetic appearance – pipes have a uniform silvery coating without additional finishing.
Technological process at the First Ukrainian Zinc Plant
Our plant is equipped with a modern German automated line that allows galvanizing pipes of various diameters and lengths. The products are fully immersed in a bath of molten zinc, ensuring uniform coating not only on the outside but also in internal cavities. All work is carried out in accordance with EN ISO 1461:2022 standards and the ISO 9001:2015 quality management system.
Applications of galvanized pipes
Thanks to their high performance, galvanized pipes are used in various industries. They are suitable for both household needs and large-scale infrastructure projects. Using such material significantly reduces maintenance costs and increases the lifespan of structures. Galvanized pipes are used in:
- construction (frames, ceilings, fences, greenhouses);
- water supply and sewage networks;
- gas and ventilation systems;
- energy and industry;
- agriculture (irrigation systems, farms, warehouses).
In addition, due to their corrosion resistance, they are used in outdoor communications constantly exposed to moisture and temperature fluctuations. This makes galvanized pipes the optimal choice for long-term and reliable engineering solutions!
Galvanizing cost
The cost of work is determined individually and depends on the dimensions, wall thickness, pipe diameter, and total batch weight. In addition, the price is affected by preparation requirements and the complexity of product shapes. The base rate at the First Ukrainian Zinc Plant is 33.00 UAH/kg of finished product (incl. VAT). For lighter pipes or those with non-standard parameters, the calculation is made separately. Call: +380 50 430 38 38. Our managers will quickly calculate the price.
