Answer These are different descriptions for a part. Tubular Steel describes the shape. Steel can be ordered in different sizes and shapes and material properties. Tubular Steel is one type of shape and the process for making the tube will cause the properties for that steel to be slightly different. Galvanized Steel describes a type of finish that protects the steel from corrosion. This process alters the surface of the steel that keeps it protected and thus can be used for construction where it is exposed to the elements. I'm sure you can order a steel tube that has a galvanized finish. Many chain-link fences are made from galvanized steel, including the round posts. Custermen
galvanized iron pipes commonly used on water pipe lines, it is dipped into zinc for corrosion protection
galvanized water lines, cast iron drain lines, sometimes lead pipes, terracotta or clay pipes, and in rare cases wooden pipes.
People often avoid using galvanized pipe due to concerns about corrosion and rust, particularly in plumbing applications where water quality is crucial. Over time, galvanized pipes can accumulate mineral deposits, leading to reduced water flow and potential leaks. Additionally, the introduction of more modern materials, such as PVC and PEX, which are lighter, easier to install, and resistant to corrosion, has made galvanized pipes less popular for both residential and commercial use. Lastly, health concerns regarding lead contamination from older galvanized pipes also contribute to the preference for alternative materials.
Not recommended as galvanized piping plugs with rust really quick and eats through the walls of the pipe.
galvanised material may flake off and set into moving part
Galvanized pipes are no longer used for home plumbing purposes. If you home still have galvanized pipes in you home then it indicates that your plumbing has likely never been updated.
Yes, sodium hydroxide can corrode and eventually destroy galvanized pipes. It reacts with the zinc coating on the pipes, causing it to deteriorate over time. It's important to avoid using sodium hydroxide in contact with galvanized pipes to prevent damage.
Yes, galvanized pipes can rust over time due to exposure to moisture and other environmental factors.
Galvanized pipes typically last around 50 years before needing to be replaced.
Depends on the water quality and what type of galvanized piping was used

Galvanized pipe will be silver/gray color. Copper will be copper. Use a magnet, it'll stick to galvanized pipe but not to copper. Drinking water lines should not be black steel pipe.
The drain metal pipes are usually coated and galvanized because of the hard water.
Yes you can thats what they used to be made out of
Yes, with an approved adapter fitting.
