TEMPERATURE RATING OF HOT DIPPED GALVANIZED STEEL

Can anybody tell me if hot dipped galvanized steel is suitable for ambient conditions of -47 °C (-47 °F) ?

Hi, Bryan. You may wish to contract a galvanizing consultant to study this issue, but short of a focused literature search I have not heard of any low temperature issues for galvanized coatings. Good luck.
