Thickness: 4 mm

Introduction
S195/S235 galvanised round steel pipe is a versatile product, widely used in construction, installation and various industrial applications due to its mechanical strength and excellent corrosion protection provided by the zinc coating. This product is manufactured according to European standards such as EN 10255 and EN 10217-1, ensuring superior quality and durability over time. Available in various sizes and thicknesses, S195/S235 galvanised pipe is ideal for projects that require reliability and resistance to varying environmental conditions.

Technical characteristics

1. Material and composition
   • Steel S195/S235: The pipe is made of high quality non-alloy steel, classified according to EN 10020.
     • S195: Steel with basic mechanical properties, used in general applications where high strength requirements are not necessary.
     • S235: Structural steel with higher tensile strength, suitable for construction and applications requiring higher bearing capacity.
   • The chemical composition complies with EN 10255 (for S195T) and EN 10217-1 (for P235TR1), ensuring a uniform structure and consistent performance.
2. Zinc coating
   • The pipe is galvanised by a thermal galvanising process, which applies a protective zinc coating to both the inner and outer surfaces.
   • The thickness of the zinc layer varies between 70-100 µm, providing excellent protection against corrosion and rust.
   • The minimum service life is 15 years under normal conditions of use, subject to corrosion protection measures (e.g. avoid direct contact with damp soil, cement or acid/basic substances).
3. Available sizes
   • Outside diameters: From 17.1 mm (1/2 inch) to 355.6 mm (14 inch), with common sizes such as 1/2", 3/4", 1", 1 1/4", 1 1/2", 1 1/2", 2", 2 1/2", 3", 4", 5", 6".
   • Wall thickness: Between 1.5 mm and 12 mm, depending on diameter and project requirements.
   • Standard length: 6 metres.
4. Manufacturing method
   • The pipe is longitudinally welded, manufactured from strips of black or galvanised rolled sheet.
   • The process involves deforming the sheet through metal rollers (caissons) into a round shape, followed by continuous welding to join the edges.
   • Welding is tested for tightness by hydrostatic (minimum 50 bar for 5 seconds) or electromagnetic testing according to EN 10246-1.
5. Quality standard
   • According to EN 10255+A1 (welded pressure pipes for the transport of liquids and gases) and EN 10217-1 (welded pressure pipes with specified characteristics at ambient temperature).
   • All pipes are accompanied by Manufacturer's Certificate of Quality (MTC ) and Declaration of Conformity.

Main applications

1. Civil and industrial construction
   • Used to realise steel structures such as fence posts, frames, reinforcements or supporting elements.
   • Ideal for the construction of solariums, greenhouses or temporary structures due to its strength and corrosion protection.
   • Architectural design elements, balustrades or decorative supports.
2. Water and gas installations
   • Suitable for drinking water distribution networks (hot or cold) thanks to its zinc coating which prevents contamination.
   • Used in gas transport installations, starting from external tanks or pressure reducing units.
   • Piping for heating or cooling systems.
3. Technological and industrial installations
   • Piping for the transport of pressurised fluids at ambient temperature.
   • Components for irrigation systems or agricultural installations.
4. Other uses
   • Supports for billboards or supporting structures in the events industry.
   • Production of industrial furniture or customised structures.

Advantages

1. Corrosion resistance
   • The zinc coating protects the pipe against rust, making it suitable for wet or weathered environments.
   • Extended service life reduces maintenance and replacement costs.
2. Versatility
   • Available in multiple sizes and thicknesses to suit a wide range of projects.
   • Can be easily machined by cutting, welding, drilling or painting.
3. Cost-effective
   • Compared to drawn pipe, galvanised welded pipe is more affordable without compromising on quality for common applications.
4. Ease of installation
   • Threaded or grooved ends facilitate quick joining with other components.
   • Relatively light weight (compared to pipes made of other materials) simplifies handling and transport.

Recommendations for use and storage

1. Handling
   • Pipes should be handled with care using forklifts or cranes to avoid damage to the zinc coating.
   • Strong blows or falls from height may affect mechanical properties or welding.
2. Storage
   • Store in dry rooms away from moisture, acid/basic substances, cement, mortar or lime.
   • Avoid direct contact with the ground; use polythene supports or tarpaulins for protection.
3. Installation
   • Check pipe compatibility with pressure and temperature of fluids being transported; consult a designer for proper sizing.
   • Ensure tightness of joints by using appropriate fittings.
