| Q. |
What is the largest item you can galvanize? |
| A. |
Approximately 63' x 10' x 8'8" wide weighing not more than 20 tons. |
|
| Q. |
Do you have a price list? |
| A. |
No. Offering competitive pricing, we examine each customer's needs individually and price accordingly. |
|
| Q. |
How thick is the zinc coating? |
| A. |
The zinc thickness is largely a function of the steel chemistry, and is beyond the control of the galvanizer. We meet or exceed all thickness specified under ASTM 123. |
|
| Q. |
Do you issue certifications of compliance? |
| A. |
Yes. If requested, we will gladly issue a certification of compliance to the appropriate ASTM standards. We have a full time QA/QC department solely for our galvanizing process. |
|
| Q. |
Will you preheat my steel before galvanizing? |
| A. |
Yes. We utilize one of the world's largest preheaters capable of reaching temperatures in excess of 300 degrees Fahrenheit. |
|
| Q. |
Will my steel "distort" when exposed to the high heat of the zinc kettle? |
| A. |
No. The operating temperature of the bath (835 degrees Fahrenheit) is not sufficient to distort steel. It can, however, relieve stresses that are inherent in a fabrication due to uneven welding, cold working, dissimilar thickness of metals, etc. By using our preheater to reduce thermal shock, this possibility is greatly reduced. |
