G550 Galvanized Pipe: Ultra-High-Strength Structural Steel for Demanding Environments.
Engineered for Heavy-Duty Performance: Construction, Mining & Energy
G550 galvanized pipe is a high-strength, low-alloy (HSLA) steel with a minimum yield strength of 560 MPa and tensile strength of 650 MPa. Featuring a Z275 zinc coating (275 g/m²), it resists corrosion 8–10x longer than standard galvanized steel in harsh conditions like offshore platforms and industrial roofing.
Certifications & Key Advantages
- ASTM A653 & EN 10346 Certified: Compliant with JIS G3321 and AS 1397 standards.
- Cost Efficiency: 30% lighter than traditional steel structures, reducing installation costs.
- Custom Sizing: Thickness 0.1–300 mm (±0.15 mm), width up to 3 meters.
- MOQ 3 Tons: Hot-dip galvanized (HDG) or electroplated (EG) finishes available.
Technical Specifications
Mechanical Properties
| Property | Value | Test Standard |
|---|---|---|
| Yield Strength | ≥560 MPa | ASTM E8/E8M |
| Tensile Strength | 650–750 MPa | ISO 6892-1 |

Coating Details:
- Hot-Dip Galvanizing (HDG): 70–85 µm layer (Z275-Z450 grades).
- Electroplating (EG): 10–25 µm coating for indoor/low-corrosion use.
- Surface Prep: ISO 8501-1 Sa3 blast cleaning (50–100 µm profile).
Dimensional Tolerances
| Parameter | Tolerance |
|---|---|
| Thickness | ±0.15 mm |
| Width | ±5 mm |
| Length | ±15 mm |
Applications
- Construction: Floor bearing plates, C/Z purlins, and warehouse frameworks.
- Energy: Offshore oil rigs, wind turbine towers, and solar mounting systems.
- Mining: Conveyor systems, trestle piles, and underground support structures.
- Transport: Heavy-duty trailer chassis and railway cargo containers.
Fabrication Guidelines
- Cutting: Laser/plasma (pre-heat >150°C for HDG).
- Welding: Use ER110S-G electrodes (preheat 120–180°C).
- Bending: Minimum radius = 4x pipe diameter (cold-formed).
- Painting: Apply zinc-rich primer (5 µm) + fluorocarbon topcoat (25 µm).
Quality Assurance
- Coating Adhesion: ASTM D3359 cross-cut test (Class 4B rating).
- Salt Spray Test: 2,000+ hours (ASTM B117) for HDG pipes.
- Certifications: EN 10204 3.2, CE Marking, and ISO 9001:2015.
Competitive Edge
- Lifespan: 40–60 years in coastal/industrial zones.
- Lead Time: 15–25 days (MOQ 3 tons).
- Sustainability: 95% recyclable with 20% lower CO₂ emissions than carbon steel.
Logistics & Compliance
- Packaging: VCI-coated paper + steel straps (ISPM15 compliant).
- Temperature Range: -50°C to 450°C (HDG), -20°C to 300°C (EG).
- Optional Coatings: Aluminized (Galvalume) or epoxy-polyamide upon request.
