subject: All About The Utilitarian Aspects Of Stainless Steel Pipe [print this page] Stainless Steel is an iron-based alloy that contains 11.5% chromium and in many cases, nickel is added in combination with chromium to render special properties to the alloy. Stainless Steel is known for its excellent corrosion resistant capacity along with its immunity to oxidation at high temperatures. The low maintenance costs along with its capacity to withstand high temperatures make it one of the most popular manufacturing materials. Stainless steel is also perfect for thin wall piping systems with no risk of corrosion. Fusion welding becomes possible in the case of Stainless Steel for effectively joining piping thus leading to the elimination of threading requirements.
A Stainless Steel Pipe System is perfect for conveying sanitary or corrosive liquids, gases and slurries under high pressure and temperature conditions. The lustrous surface of Stainless Steel enhances the aesthetic quotient and makes it perfect for architectural applications. In most cases, Stainless Steel Pipes and Fittings are provided in annealed state to facilitate fabrication and to strengthen corrosion resistant properties.
Used in chemical plants, refineries, paper mills, and food processing industry
Particularly valuable wherever acids, brines, sulphur water, seawater or halogen salts are encountered
Used in the sulphite paper industry and for manufacturing chemical plant apparatus, photographic equipment and plastics
Used in welded assemblies that do not need final heat treatment
Aviation, electronics, automotive, cryogenic, marine, air conditioning and heating, medical, architectural and textiles
The Coefficient of friction is lower compared to other carbon steel pipes thus preventing loss of water pressure in the pipeline. This provides ample scope for the reduction of the diameter of the pipe ensuring lower expenditure. The strength and ductility of the Stainless Steel Pipes are definitely better than that of the other types, thus imparting them superior mechanical properties. The ductility factor makes them perfect for security reasons in situations like earthquakes.
