Galvanization usually refers to a thin coating of zinc applied mechanically or (usually) electrolytically to steel or cast iron pipework, as a protective coating against rust.
Iron and steel (an alloy of iron with carbon and other materials) are ferrous. Overall galvanized pipework is ferrous. The zinc coating is not. Similarly, any coating of paint or rubber doesn't alter the underlying ferrous nature of iron pipe.
