Production route
Steel Strip or Coil → ERW Pipe Forming → Base Pipe Inspection → Surface Preparation → Hot-Dip Galvanizing → Cooling and Finishing → Inspection → Packing
ERW describes the pipe-forming and longitudinal-welding process.
Hot-dip galvanized describes the surface route applied after the pipe has been formed. It is different from pre-galvanized pipe, which is formed from zinc-coated steel strip.
Open-ended pipe can be immersed so that the zinc bath reaches accessible external and internal surfaces. Final coating distribution, internal drainage, local appearance and measured coating values depend on pipe geometry, process control and the applicable specification.

Outdoor Support Parts
General Structure Components
Base Pipe for Simple Processing
Used for posts, braces, rails and support members where galvanized round pipe is practical.
Fits small frame parts, rack members and pipe components that use Q235 round pipe requirement.
Can be cut, drilled, threaded, labeled or grouped into repeat pipe parts when the order requirement is clear.

Steel bundle packing,Waterproof wrapping when agreed,End protection,Labels and shipping marks,Sorted bundles,Large-diameter loading arrangements |



Length and Bundle Check
Outer Diameter Check
Wall Thickness Check
Tube length, bundle condition and visible quantity can be checked before packing or shipment.
Check outer diameter against the order specification so posts, rails, frame parts or processed pipe components can match the intended connection.
Check wall thickness on sampled pipes and keep the result aligned with the quoted pipe range and order requirement.
Packing & delivery



Bundle packing
Optional waterproof protection
Shipping mark on request
Round pipes are usually packed in bundles for forklift handling, container loading and warehouse sorting.
Waterproof wrapping, caps or extra protection can be arranged when the order needs cleaner delivery or longer transport handling.
Labels, shipping marks and grouped bundle packing help separate sizes, lengths, punched parts or project batches.
