Quantity
Galvanized Pipe Flange is forged from premium carbon steel, conforming to ASME B16.5 standards, with pressure ratings from 150LB to 2500LB and sizes ranging from 1/2"to 24". Featuring a Raised Face (RF) sealing surface and customizable designs, it undergoes Hot-Dip Galvanizing (HDG) for superior rust and corrosion resistance. Ideal for construction, chemical, oil & gas, and other demanding environments, its high-strength forged construction ensures reliable performance under high pressure and temperature, making it a dependable choice for industrial piping systems.
1. Hot-Dip Galvanizing (HDG) Process Analysis
HDG is a proven anti-corrosion technology for Galvanized Pipe Flange, forming a metallurgically bonded multi-layer protective coating.

1.1 Process Principles & Control
The HDG process for Galvanized Pipe Flange involves three critical stages:
- Pickling (10-15% HCl, 60-80℃): Removes surface oxides
- Fluxing (ZnCl₂-NH₄Cl solution, pH 3-4): Forms an activation layer
- Zinc Immersion (455±5℃, 4-8 min): Zinc bath composition (Zn≥98.5%, Al 0.1-0.3%, Pb<0.05%)

A graded heating curve (150-200℃ preheat → 300-350℃ drying → 455℃ immersion) minimizes thermal stress deformation in Galvanized Pipe Flange.
1.2 Coating Structure Characterization
SEM analysis reveals a four-layer gradient structure:
- η-phase (0.5-2μm): Pure zinc, optimal ductility
