Proper storage, transportation and maintenance of galvanized steel pipes can extend service life and maintain surface quality.

Storage

  • Store in a dry and ventilated place, avoid dampness and direct sunlight

  • Stack flat with sleepers underneath to keep off the ground

  • Different specifications stacked separately for easy access

  • Avoid contact with acids, alkalis, salts and other corrosive substances

Transportation

  • Use slings or special brackets to avoid scratching the galvanized layer

  • Prevent collision and fall during loading and unloading

  • Long-distance transport should be covered to prevent rainwater corrosion of cuts

Daily Maintenance

  • Regularly check whether the galvanized layer is intact and repair local damage

  • Clean the surface with clean water, avoid acid/alkali cleaning agents

  • Repair zinc layer at cuts and welds in time (zinc-rich paint, etc.)
