What are the advantages of Stainless Steel Pipes?

Posted by neelconsteel on March 19th, 2020

Carbon Steel Pipe Fittings are widely used in the installation of air conditioning, heating, sprinkler fire extinguishing systems, as well as pipelines with inert gases and compressed air.

• Excellent corrosion resistance

The thin and durable oxide film on the surface of stainless steel provides excellent corrosion resistance of stainless steel of any quality, including soft water. Even if it is in the ground, it has excellent corrosion resistance and good erosion resistance. Benefits include:

1. Thin-walled P22 Pipe can be used (there is no need to leave an allowance for corrosion, the wall thickness is 1/3 of a galvanized pipe, which can reduce weight, save materials and energy consumption, as well as reduce transportation and installation costs (especially beneficial for high-rise buildings);
2. Carbon Steel Pipe can be used for all kinds of water quality. In addition to disinfection and sterilization, there is no need to control water quality;
3. No corrosion and poor exudate, no specific odor or turbidity. Water quality should be clean and sanitary. Secondary contamination of the ASTM A106 pipeline and the problem of red water and green water should be eliminated. Health and safety must be fully protected.
4. It can withstand high-speed water flow up to 30 m / s without any effect of erosion, eddy currents, and water hammer. Even for a stainless steel ASTM A333 outlet pipe used in a high-pressure power plant, the speed at the end of the Pipe reaches 60 m / s, which still has a target of up to 100 years.
5. Generally, coating protection is not required.

• Excellent mechanical and physical properties

Stainless steel API 5L Grade B pipe has very high strength (2 times more than a galvanized pipe, 3-4 times more than a steel pipe, 8-10 times more than a PPR pipe), good flexibility and toughness constant brittleness at low temperature. Stainless steel has high absorption capacity upon impact (2.5 times more energy absorbed by austenitic stainless steel during deformation than carbon steel), high seismic and impacts resistance, excellent wear resistance and fatigue strength, good strength at high temperatures. Stainless steel has low thermal conductivity (1/25 of the steel pipe, 1/4 of the steel pipe), slow expansion and contraction, so the stainless steel water pipe:

1. It is very safe and reliable. The Pipe can withstand vibration, hydraulic shock and thermal expansion and contraction without water leakage, explosion, fire prevention, and earthquake resistance;
2. It is easy to process, and the Pipe is easy to cut, shape and weld;
3. Good heat retention, especially suitable for transferring hot water.

• Easy to use for long life

Welding of stainless steel system equipment takes place at our factories with a tungsten electrode in an inert gas environment; all system X52 Pipe and fittings are easy to use. There are some manufacturers whose Edelstahlsysteme stainless steel systems are fully manufactured in Germany. Thus, they can guarantee the high quality and long life of the systems.

Among the main advantages of press systems:

• the efficiency of installation;
• zero risks of fire during the assembly process;
• the high degree of tightness and reliability of connections;
• the durability of a design;
• corrosion resistance.
