Carbon steel used for cable trays shall be protected against corrosion by the following processes: Hot-dip galvanized zinc after fabrication in accordance with ASTM A123/A123M, Coating Grade 65 with an average zinc coating weight of 460 g/m2 per side or coating thickness of. Carbon steel used for cable trays shall be protected against corrosion by the following processes: Hot-dip galvanized zinc after fabrication in accordance with ASTM A123/A123M, Coating Grade 65 with an average zinc coating weight of 460 g/m2 per side or coating thickness of. The galvanization process is the primary anti-corrosion treatment for cable trays. The quality of the zinc coating directly determines the tray's service life and application scenarios. All illustrations, descriptions and technical information included in this document are provided as indications and can cable trays are equivalent. The mechanical and electrical characteristics, tests, certifications, overall quality management, recommendations mentioned. Our market-leading cable tray system is now available in ZM (Zinc Magnesium), as well as existing finishes (pre-galvanized, hot-dip galvanized, powder coated and stainless steel). These are slick, polished, and cheaper.
