Key Features & Technical Specifications
- Precision Dimensions: Outer diameter 48.3mm ±0.5mm, wall thickness 3.2mm ±0.2mm, length 6.0m ±20mm. Consistent dimensional accuracy ensures easy installation and compatibility with standard fittings.
- Hot Dipped Galvanization: The pipe is fully immersed in molten zinc, forming a thick, uniform coating that protects against rust, corrosion, and harsh environmental conditions. The zinc coating weight meets or exceeds ASTM A53 and BS1387 requirements, typically 200-400 g/m².
- Material Strength: Made from high-quality carbon steel (e.g., Q235, Q195) with excellent tensile strength (≥330 MPa) and yield strength (≥205 MPa). Suitable for pressure applications and structural loads.
- Dual Standard Compliance: This pipe meets both ASTM A53 (Grade A/B) and BS1387 (Class B/C) standards, ensuring acceptance in North American, European, and global markets. It is also compatible with ISO 9001 certified quality management systems.
- Versatile Applications: Ideal for water supply lines, gas pipelines, oil transportation, fire sprinkler systems, scaffolding, fence posts, and structural supports. Also suitable for use in HVAC, plumbing, and agricultural irrigation.
- Easy Fabrication: The pipe can be cut, threaded, welded, and bent without compromising the galvanized coating. It supports standard threading for couplings and fittings, reducing installation time and labor costs.
- Long Service Life: The hot-dip galvanized layer provides cathodic protection and a barrier against moisture, extending the pipe's lifespan to 20-50 years in most environments, depending on exposure conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Q: What are the main differences between ASTM A53 and BS1387 standards?
A: ASTM A53 is primarily used in North America for pressure and structural applications, while BS1387 is a British standard for steel tubes suitable for screwing to BS21 pipe threads. Both require hot-dip galvanization for corrosion resistance. Our product meets both standards, offering flexibility for global projects. -
Q: Can this pipe be used for drinking water systems?
A: Yes, hot-dipped galvanized steel pipes are commonly used for water supply lines. However, local regulations may vary. We recommend consulting your local health authority or using appropriate linings if required. The zinc coating is non-toxic when properly manufactured. -
Q: What is the typical lead time for large orders?
A: For standard sizes (48.3mm OD, 3.2mm wall, 6.0m length), we can ship within 15-30 days after order confirmation, depending on quantity. For customized orders, please discuss with our sales team. Our annual export volume of over US$50 million ensures we prioritize timely delivery. -
Q: Does the pipe require any special maintenance?
A: No special maintenance is needed. The hot-dip galvanized coating provides a self-healing barrier. In aggressive environments (e.g., acidic or saline), periodic inspection is recommended. Avoid abrasive cleaning that could damage the zinc layer. -
Q: Can I order different lengths or wall thicknesses?
A: Yes, we offer customization. Lengths from 1m to 12m, wall thicknesses from 2.0mm to 5.0mm, and other diameters are available upon request. Minimum order quantities may apply. Please contact us with your specifications. -
Q: Is the pipe suitable for structural applications like scaffolding?
A: Absolutely. This pipe meets the mechanical requirements for scaffolding, guardrails, and structural supports. The 48.3mm OD is a standard size for scaffolding systems. The hot-dip galvanized coating provides excellent weather resistance. -
Q: How is the pipe packaged and shipped?
A: Pipes are bundled with steel straps and protected with waterproof plastic or woven bags. Standard export packing includes seaworthy packaging for container shipping. LCL and FCL options are available. We can also provide custom labeling. -
Q: Do you provide samples before bulk order?
A: Yes, we offer free samples (except shipping costs) for quality evaluation. The sample can be a 30cm length of the pipe. Please contact our sales team to arrange shipment.
