RE: Hot Dip Galvanizing after PWHT

PWHT after galv will make the galv drip, smoke and run off! Galv tank is about 850°F, and the zinc is molten and 'wet'. PWHT temp is 1100°F and higher.

And a further 850° after 1150° won't hurt anything, IF the header boxes are vented so the heat expansion of the air inside doesn't make them blow up. Galvanizers get pretty sensitive about dipping tightly sealed items into their tanks.
