Inspection Standards For Galvanized Steel Pipes

Oct 27, 2023

Galvanized steel pipe is a type of corrosion-resistant steel pipe that is covered with a layer of zinc to provide additional protection against corrosion. This article will briefly introduce the inspection standards for galvanized steel pipes.

 

Visual inspection:

Appearance inspection is a key part of inspecting the surface quality of galvanized steel pipes. Pipes should have a uniform, smooth appearance with no visible defects, corrosion, or coating peeling.

 

Galvanized layer thickness:

The thickness of the galvanized layer is usually subject to specified minimum and maximum values. Thickness is usually measured using a magnetic induction meter or X-ray fluorescence meter.

 

Zinc coating uniformity:

Check the uniformity of the galvanized layer to ensure there are no obvious unevenness or peeling.

 

Roughness:

Check the surface roughness of the zinc coating to ensure compliance with specifications.

 

Corrosion and damage inspection:

Inspect galvanized steel pipe for corrosion, scratches, or other damage to ensure the integrity of its surface.

 

Welding quality:

If the galvanized steel pipe is welded, check the welding quality to ensure there are no defects in the welding and no welding slag or cracks.

 

Chemical composition:

Check the chemical composition of the pipe to ensure it complies with applicable standards and specifications. This includes the main components and impurity content of the pipe.

 

Mechanical behavior:

Mechanical property parameters such as tensile strength, yield strength and elongation of the pipe are measured to ensure that it meets the requirements of the specification.

 

Dimensional inspection:

Check the outside diameter, wall thickness and length of galvanized steel pipe to ensure it meets specified dimensional standards.

 

Logo and marking:

Verify that markings and markings on pipes comply with code requirements to trace pipe origin and specification information.

 

Puncture or leakage test:

Perform a puncture or leak test to detect any cracks or incomplete areas in the pipe to ensure it is tight.

 

These are some of the inspection standards generally applicable to galvanized steel pipe. Specific inspection requirements may vary by region, application and industry specifications. When conducting inspections, professional inspection agencies and equipment are often relied upon to ensure that pipelines comply with applicable standards and specifications.
