Galvanizing pipe post fabrication
Galvanizing pipe post fabrication
(OP)
Hello;
A client of ours has specified compressed air piping be galvanized post fabrication. The spec also calls for flanged connections. Any idea what we'll have to do to the flange after galvanizing? We are going to oversize the bolt holes slightly, and are thinking we'll have to machine the gasket face after galvanzing. We'd appreciate any comments or input. Thanks.

RE: Galvanizing pipe post fabrication
Though not a common as it once was pipe spools were fabricated and then galvanized. You would mask off the flange face prior to galvanizing.
Is there any reason for taking this approach in lieu of using standard galvanized pipe and fittings.

We're still trying to drag a few more details out of the client.
