What is Zinc Coated Ductile Iron Pipe?

When Zinc is applied to Ductile Iron Pipe it creates an oxide dielectric barrier. Zinc by-products which are left behind after reacting in aggressive soils, form a healing protective barrier that cuts off further corrosion. Zinc, together with VBIO polywrap can protect the pipe from aggressive soil for generations.
After passing through the Inspector Station, 99.99% pure zinc is arc applied to pipe with this machine. Pipe enter the machine and doors close to protect nearby workers from the ultraviolet light. Zinc wire is feed into an arc welder that vaporizes the metal while air pressure sprays it onto the rotating pipe. Special glass allows the operator to safely monitor the application process.
This new zinc pipe will continue along the Finishing Line to be cement lined, sealcoated and bundled. Zinc coated pipe can be recognized by their blue bell and the word zinc on the pipes mill cert sticker.

I want to learn more about zinc coating and it's machine, can you please explain, actually I'm a fresher in this field. I love to work un zinc coating

Thanks for your question. Here's a little info about our Zinc coated pipe. The zinc coating forms a protective zinc oxide dielectric barrier. Zinc by-products, which are left behind after reacting in aggressive soils, form a healing protective barrier that cuts off further corrosion. Although zinc is an enhancement to protecting McWane Ductile Iron Pipe from corrosion, it does not provide stand-alone corrosion protection. McWane Ductile Zinc Coated Pipe consists of a layer of arc-applied or paint-applied, 99.99% pure zinc coating, having a mass of 200g/m².
