Flow, Pressure and Valve Selection Guide
Relationship between Pressure and Flow Rate “Pressure” of a pipe refers to the internal pressure that the pipe can withstand or actually bears during use. This pressure results from forces exerted on the pipe wall by either flowing or stationary liquid or gas in the pipelines. It can be understood as: the pressure exerted by the internal […]
What Is The Difference Between Galvanized And Black Pipe?
Black pipe is made of steel as is galvanized pipe. The difference is that galvanized pipe is coated with zinc, while the black pipe is not. Black pipe is best used for gas lines, not for water lines because it rusts easily, while the galvanized pipe is the safer pipe to use in water lines, […]
Galvanized Steel vs Stainless Steel
Galvanized and stainless steel are two general materials in pipe and pipe fittings manufactured, and each has different benefits and drawbacks. Galvanized steel increases corrosion resistance by applying a zinc coating on the surface of the carbon steel, making it for outdoor or wet environments.
