Greenhouse steel pipe is one of the main materials used to build agricultural greenhouses. It has the advantages of strong and durable, wind and rain resistance, and plays an important role in agricultural production. In this article, the specification size and anti-corrosion measures of greenhouse steel pipe will be introduced in detail to help readers understand how to choose and maintain greenhouse steel pipe.
Specification Size of Greenhouse Steel Pipe
The specifications of greenhouse steel pipe usually include three aspects: outer diameter, wall thickness and length. Common greenhouse steel pipe specifications include Φ32mm, Φ38mm, Φ42mm, Φ48mm and so on. Different specifications of steel pipe are suitable for different sizes of greenhouses, readers should choose according to the actual needs of a reasonable match.
The wall thickness of greenhouse steel pipe is usually 1.0mm, 1.2mm, 1.5mm, etc. The larger the wall thickness, the stronger the weight-bearing capacity of the steel pipe and the stronger the wind resistance. Therefore, when choosing greenhouse steel pipe, readers should fully consider the geographical environment of the greenhouse and choose the appropriate wall thickness to ensure the stability and durability of the greenhouse.
The length of greenhouse steel pipe is usually 6m, 8m, 9m and so on, readers can choose according to the actual needs. It should be noted that too long steel pipe may bring some inconvenience in the process of transport and erection, so it is necessary to reasonably balance the relationship between length and portability.
Anti-corrosion Measures for Greenhouse Steel Pipe
As the greenhouse steel pipe is exposed to the outdoor environment for a long time, it is susceptible to oxidation, corrosion and other factors, so it is important to take certain anti-corrosion measures to extend the service life of the steel pipe.
A common anti-corrosion measure is hot-dip galvanising. Hot-dip galvanising is the process of immersing the steel pipe in molten zinc, which evenly adheres to the surface of the steel pipe to form a zinc layer with corrosion resistance, thus achieving the effect of anti-corrosion. The surface of the steel pipe after hot-dip galvanising treatment appears silver-white and has strong corrosion and weather resistance.
In addition, plastic spraying and painting can also be used for anti-corrosion treatment. Plastic spraying is a special anti-corrosion coating sprayed on the surface of the steel pipe, forming a sealed protective film, effectively isolating the air and moisture intrusion. Paint spraying is the use of special anti-corrosion paint to coat the steel pipe, play a role in protecting the steel pipe from corrosion.
In daily use, the reader can also take some simple anti-corrosion measures, such as regular cleaning of the surface of the greenhouse steel pipe dust and dirt, keep it dry, and use anticorrosion agents for treatment, in order to prevent the steel pipe from the erosion of the external environment.
The specification size and anti-corrosion measures of greenhouse steel pipe are important factors that cannot be ignored in building and maintaining a greenhouse. Choosing the right size of greenhouse steel pipe and taking scientific and effective anti-corrosion measures can not only ensure the stability and durability of the greenhouse, but also improve the yield and quality of crops.
