Galvanized pipe plugs (typically referring to Galvanized pipe fittings or Grooved pipe fittings) primarily serve to seal pipes, prevent media leakage, protect pipe ends from corrosion, extend the service life of fire fighting pipes systems, and provide temporary or permanent sealing for inspection, maintenance, or testing. The zinc coating also provides sacrificial anode protection. By galvanizing the steel surface, the corrosion resistance of zinc is utilized to prevent iron from coming into contact with oxygen and water, thus preventing rust. Even if the coating is damaged, the zinc provides sacrificial protection, ensuring the safety of the pipeline.
Specific functions include:
Sealing and Leak Prevention: The plug physically blocks the pipe, preventing fluids or gases such as water, oil, and gas from escaping from the pipe opening, ensuring the normal operation of the system.
Corrosion Protection: The galvanized layer (zinc) is more reactive than iron and preferentially reacts…
