No.
Most codes do not allow Galvanized piping/fittings on gas piping. I have used galvanized pipe/fittings on exterior gas piping before in the state of Michigan but other states do not allows this. Check with your local code authorities.
You should use black pipe -- Galv. pipe will flake off inside of pipe
Black iron pipe is used for gas installations but ONLY if the piping is indoors. Outdoor gas piping is usually done in galvanized pipe. Steam is also piped with black pipe, fire sprinkler and standpipe systems also use black pipe.
It is not advisable to bury a galvanized gas lineMost civilized codes will not allow galvanized piping to be buried under ground even for waste or venting it is against good plumbing practices. I have seen quite a bit of buried galvanized pipe, both for water and gas. It does rust out eventually. Interestingly enough, it usually rusts through at point at which it comes up out of the ground.
The pipe that runs through the foundation to the gas meter is commonly referred to as the gas service line or gas supply line. This underground pipe transports natural gas from the utility’s main line to the meter located at the building. It is typically made of materials such as steel, plastic, or copper, designed to safely convey gas. Proper installation and maintenance of this line are crucial for safety and compliance with local regulations.
Use only black pipe
No, it is not safe to use galvanized pipe for gas because the zinc coating on the pipe can react with the gas and cause corrosion, leading to potential leaks and safety hazards. It is recommended to use black steel pipe or other materials specifically designed for gas applications.

Galvanized pipe is used for natural gas lines and pressure vent lines, and for electrical conduits. As a water supply or drain pipe, it is subject to rusting over time.
What is the application as many times such as natural gas it is permissible as gas lines exposed to the elements have to be protected painted / insulated or galvanized piping vanized piping
Using galvanized pipe for a gas grill is not recommended. Galvanized pipes are coated with zinc, which can produce toxic fumes when heated, posing health risks. Instead, it's safer to use black iron pipe or flexible gas lines specifically designed for gas applications, as they are better suited for handling gas safely. Always consult local codes and a professional for proper installation.

we are one of the largest manufactuer of copper and brass pipes, some of our copper pipes for medical gas using. tang@hailiang.com
Gas lines in homes are most often done in flexible copper tubing. A fairly new product also being used that is easy to spot is the yellow flex pipe a "flexible, yellow polyethylene coated copper tubing that is continuously line-marked for clearer identification of liquefied petroleum and natural gas." It would come in various sizes- 3/8" to 3/4" or even more for industrial applications. Black iron or galvanized pipe is also commonly used.
Depends on local codes I use Galvanized piping and fitting when I know the piping is going to be exposed to moisture (dampness) or the elements
