DX51D Galvanized Steel Pipe: High-Formability Corrosion-Resistant Solution for Low-Temperature Applications.
Engineered for Precision Fabrication: Construction, HVAC & Food Processing
DX51D galvanized steel pipe combines low melting point (1,425–1,535°C) with superior zinc adhesion (Z275 coating), achieving 10–15% higher formability than standard galvanized steel. Its micro-alloyed composition ensures 2,000+ hours of salt spray resistance (ASTM B117), making it ideal for cold-forming applications like agricultural equipment, ventilation ducts, and food processing machinery exposed to -30°C environments.
Certifications & Key Advantages
- EN 10346 & ASTM A653 Certified: Compliant with JIS G3302 and GB/T 13912 standards.
- Cost Efficiency: 40% lower welding energy vs. stainless steel 304.
- Custom Sizing: Thickness 0.1–300 mm (±0.15 mm), width up to 3 meters.
- MOQ 2 Tons: Hot-dip galvanized (HDG) finish standard; electroplating optional.

- Salt Spray Test: 1,500+ hours (ASTM B117) for HDG pipes.
- Certifications: EN 10204 3.1, ISO 9001:2015, and RoHS compliance.
Competitive Edge
- Lifespan: 25–40 years in humid/coastal zones.
- Lead Time: 12–18 days (MOQ 2 tons).
- Sustainability: 98% recyclable with 15% lower CO₂ footprint than galvanized aluminum.
Logistics & Compliance
- Packaging: VCI-coated paper + steel straps (ISPM15 compliant).
- Temperature Range: -30°C to 250°C (HDG).
- Optional Coatings: Epoxy-polyester hybrid or fluoropolymer upon request.
Logical Connectors:
- Comparison: While aluminum resists oxidation, DX51D offers superior weldability.
- Example: For instance, DX51D pipes are used in Arctic oil pipelines.
- Cause-Effect: Z275 coating (275 g/m²) prevents pitting in acidic soils.
