Galvanized Iron (GI) pipes, also known as galvanized steel pipes, are commonly used in various industries and applications. Here’s what you need to know about them:
Definition and Purpose:
GI pipes are iron pipes that have been coated with a layer of zinc to protect them from corrosion.
The galvanization process involves immersing the steel pipes in a bath of molten zinc, creating a zinc-steel alloy coating that forms a protective barrier against rust and oxidation.
Applications:
Water Supply: GI pipes are widely used for water supply applications due to their durability and corrosion resistance.
Gas Transportation: They are also used for transporting gas.
