Everything You Need To Know About Stainless Steel Pipes and Tubes

Stainless Steel is an alloy and contains approximately 10.5 percent chromium or less than 1.2 percent carbon, and other superalloys components are classified as stainless steel. Other elements, also including nickel, molybdenum, titanium, niobium, manganese, and others can be added to stainless steel to improve its corrosion resistance and mechanical characteristics. Stainless steel is a material that is designed to provide high corrosion resistance, power, and manufacturing characteristics. These Stainless Steel Pipes and Tubes meet a wide variety of design criteria, including minimal maintenance, long-lasting life service, and load ability. These Pipes and Tubes are available in the most common types i.e. the seamless and welded.

Stainless Steel Seamless Pipes and Tubes

316 Stainless Steel Seamless Pipe / Tube is one that contains no seams or weld joints. Because the metal can withstand high levels of pressure as well as high temperatures. It is used in a wide range of oil & gas applications, but it is also used in the mechanical & engineering industries. It also has good mechanical properties at both low and high temperatures. As a result, Seamless pipes are quite versatile, and they are always thoroughly checked to guarantee material quality. These SS Pipes and Tubes are available in a variety of grades and have a variety of properties, the application of these pipes and tubes may vary depending on the grade.

Stainless Steel Welded Pipes and Tubes

In comparison to other materials, stainless steel Pipes and Tubes has strong mechanical properties at room temperature. It combines ductility, elasticity, and hardness, allowing it to be used in difficult metal forming modes while resisting heavy wear. With a minimum chromium content of 10.5 percent, stainless steel is constantly secured by a passive layer of chromium oxide that forms normally on the surface due to chromium’s reactivity with oxygen from air or water, this feature contributes to stainless steel’s immune to corrosion. Whereas the Welded Tubes, because of their versatility are faring better in terms of corrosion resistance than they do in terms of pressure resistance. Welded pipes are more inexpensive than most other piping methods and provide great value for money due to the components used and their lighter weight existence.

Applications:

The use of Stainless Steel Pipes and Tubes is seen in various industries, for several purposes, like aeronautics, electronics, railway machinery, chemical tanks, and food vats, marine implementations. These Pipes, and tubes are also seen in high heating systems, resistor jackets, and furnace accessories.
