The density of Galvanized Iron is 7850 kg/m3. Density of steel is equal to the density of galvanized iron
Galvanized iron is iron that has been coated with a layer of zinc to protect it from corrosion. This zinc coating increases the durability and longevity of the iron, making it resistant to rust and other forms of corrosion. Galvanized iron is commonly used in outdoor and industrial applications due to its corrosion-resistant properties.
GI Pipe is "Galvanized Iron" Pipe. These days the pipe will likely be made from steel rather than iron.
Yes, "galvanized" is the English term for the Filipino word "yero." Galvanized refers to the process of coating iron or steel with a protective layer of zinc to prevent corrosion, while yero specifically refers to galvanized iron sheets used for roofing.

The current types of metal that may be galvanized include steel and iron. They are usually galvanized with zinc. This protects against corrosion and adds robustness to the metal.
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.
