Technical details for engineers, procurement officers, and construction project planners
These designations refer to minimum yield strengths. Q235 steel yields at 235 MPa and is commonly used for agricultural framing, light construction, and fencing. Q345 (345 MPa) and S355JR (355 MPa) offer higher load-bearing capacity, making them suitable for high-stress structural applications, heavy machinery fabrication, and high-load scaffolding systems.
Our patented grooved and shouldered pipe designs allow for the use of Victaulic mechanical couplings. This eliminates the need for hot-work welding on-site, reduces installation time by up to 50%, and permits angular deflection and thermal expansion within the piping system, which helps protect pipeline integrity.
Pre-galvanized pipes are formed from steel sheets that are galvanized before welding, resulting in a zinc coating of 60g/m² to 120g/m² and a smooth finish suitable for indoor structures and greenhouses. Hot-dip galvanized (HDG) pipes are dipped into molten zinc after fabrication, providing a thicker coating of 220g/m² to 500g/m² that offers greater corrosion resistance in outdoor and industrial environments.
Located 40 kilometers from XinGang Port (Tianjin), our factory can transport completed orders to the port terminal within a few hours. This minimizes internal transit risks, helps secure shipping space, and reduces overall FOB/CIF container shipping lead times for our international customers.
