Galvanized Steel: Dimensions, Standards and Weights

GNEE Steel Galvanized Metal Steel Sheet

What is galvanized steel?
Galvanized steel is a high-quality building material that is widely used in various industries and construction projects. It is made by coating the surface of steel with a layer of corrosion-resistant zinc, which has superior advantages over ordinary steel. Galvanized steel sheets with thicknesses of 1mm and 2mm can produce products with different technical properties to meet the diverse needs of the market.

Advantages of galvanized steel sheets
DURABLE AND CORROSION RESISTANT: Zinc coating protects the steel's surface from the external environment, protecting it from harsh weather and corrosive chemicals. This extends the life of galvanized steel and maintains durability over time.
High strength in harsh conditions: Thick galvanized steel is able to withstand forces, impacts and pressure from wind, storms or heavy loads. This makes it an ideal material for construction projects that require stability and high security.
Technical properties of galvanized steel
Galvanized steel is a building material with special technical properties that make it popular and preferred in construction and industrial applications. Here are some important properties of galvanized steel:

Density of galvanized steel
Density is one of the important properties of materials. For galvanized steel, the density is typically between 7,000 and 8,050 kg/m³. This means that galvanized steel is relatively heavy, depending on the thickness and size of the sheet. In construction applications, the high density of galvanized steel plays an important role in determining its weight and maximum load capacity.

Galvanized steel dimensions
Galvanized steel comes in a variety of sizes and thicknesses for a variety of applications. Typically, galvanized steel is available in thicknesses ranging from 0.12 mm to 4.0 mm, but the most common thicknesses are usually between 0.4 mm and 1.5 mm. For industrial and construction applications, galvanized steel is typically available in widths between 600mm and 1250mm. However, custom galvanized steel can be produced in specific sizes and thicknesses according to customer requirements.

Mechanical strength
Galvanized steel has high mechanical strength and can effectively withstand forces and pressures. This makes it an ideal material for use in construction where stability and safety are required, such as warehouses, workshops and building structures.

Corrosion resistance
One of the outstanding advantages of galvanized steel is its excellent corrosion resistance. Because the zinc coating protects the surface of the steel, galvanized steel resists corrosion from harsh weather, chemical agents, and moist environments.

Lifespan and preservation
Galvanized steel has a long lifespan and is almost effortless to maintain. Its corrosion-resistant properties help extend product life and reduce maintenance and replacement costs.

These technical properties make galvanized steel an ideal material for construction and industrial applications. Galvanized steel has excellent mechanical properties and good corrosion resistance, improving the performance and durability of structures and products.

Galvanized steel standard
Galvanized steel standards are technical specifications and regulations established to ensure the quality and technical performance of correctly produced and used galvanized steel. These standards are usually determined and published by local or international organizations and government agencies.

Some common international standards related to galvanized steel include:

ASTM A653/A653M: American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standard for continuously galvanized steel, continuously galvanized alloy steel, or continuously galvanized alloy steel plate after welding.
EN 10346: European Standard for continuously hot-dip coated galvanized steel sheet and strip for continuously hot-dip coated galvanized steel sheet after welding.
JIS G3302: Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS) standard for continuously hot-dip galvanized steel sheets and strips.
ISO 3575: International Organization for Standardization (ISO) International standard for continuously hot-dip galvanized steel sheet and coil.
